GAINESVILLE, Va. – Major changes are coming to a local fire department after allegations of wrongdoing.
Prince William County’s Board of Supervisors voted to dissolve the Gainesville Volunteer Fire Department Friday.
“Frankly, the management of the Gainesville Volunteer Fire Department was sick and [...]

Thursday, November 27th, 2008I’m a union guy. I believe in organized labor and what it has and will continue to do for America (and the middle class).
I’m a bit like McCain on the economy (I need some heavy remedial work), but at least my primary advisors are not like McCain’s Wall Street lobbyist pal (Phil “we got too [...]

Thursday, November 6th, 2008At the Prince William County event Monday night I just knew we would prevail. The last 4 minutes of Barak’s speech was life altering. Click the Picture below…
It got me up at 4:00 AM on Election day. It carried me through my rounds while the polls when the polls were open. It buoyed me up [...]

Monday, October 27th, 2008I’m a Democrat. I voted absentee a week ago for Senators Obama and Biden, Governor Warner, and my friend Dr. Feder. No real surprise there.
I also have been coordinating the Veterans and Military Families for Obama in Region six. My area covers Prince William and Fauquier Counties, and Manassas and Manassas Park. Our hardy band [...]

Yes Virginia we’re in play, BIG TIME…
Saturday, August 30th, 2008Last Thursday, the Gainesville and Brentsville Democratic Committees of Prince William County hosted a party to watch our Presidential Nominee, Senator Barak Obama make his acceptance speech. I was hoping for a respctable 30-50 folks to attend as has been the case with most events other than when Senator Colgan has Mark Warner coming to [...]
Virginia Veterans for Obama, Sit-Stat…
Monday, August 25th, 2008Four Years ago something happened in the Presidential contest that nearly ruined politics for me – the Swiftboaters. Not gonna happen this time. There will be no Democratic version of that crap, just lots of veterans supporting the senator.
Senator Obama’s campaign has established Veterans For Obama groups in all 50 states and Virginia being a [...]
Greg Lettique approves of the UU Knoxville murders/terrorism???
Monday, August 4th, 2008I happened to stumble upon a post about Mimi and her Howling Latina blog on BVBL. Mimi’s got real issues with Senator Obama and posted a “questionable” graphic. Now I’ve had some real issues with her failure to accept the primary process, but hey it’s her blog. She does seem to be in denial, but [...]
Some days it’s tough to live and believe in your values…
Monday, July 28th, 2008Just heard of the shooting in Knoxville at a Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church. Two dead, and five more in critical or serious condition.
Right now I’m just too pissed off to think rationally about this domestic terrorism/hate crime. But our UUA National President Bill Sinkford speaks for us all.

It is just a rumor, but I did hear that one of the union construction workers did receive a slight muscle pull and one of the bosses got sunburned. Both are reported to be in rehab… Full recoveries expected.

How Green is Bob Marshall??
Tuesday, July 15th, 2008When I ran against Bob Marshall one of the things I was slow to figure out was the support he received from the environmental protection community. I was really dumbfounded when the League of Conservation Voters did not even offer me a courtesy interview. They just happily endorsed Bob. And of course little old progressive me got [...]

Yes Virginia, a Mac is the bomb…
Wednesday, July 2nd, 2008Day 7 of conversion to Macintosh. I am a good Democrat and the switch to a real computer was only enhanced by the speculation that Bill Gates could be McCain’s running mate, but fueled entirely by the frustration with Windows and PC based computers. I have always been an IBM guy but in [...]
The Right Wing is Happier than we are…
Wednesday, June 25th, 2008I know that this is SCIENCE, and we all know how problematic science can be when faced with real issues of opinion, emotion, ignorance and the ever popular “I read it in a really big book.” None the less check out this research snippet from the 60 Second Psych website.
Conservatives are happier than liberals. This [...]
