A blessed existence
I've had a lot of exciting things happen in my life. Well, not as many as happen to, say, Mark Holmberg on a regular basis, but for someone lacking a prominent sagittal crest, I think I've done pretty well.
Until tonight, when I restocked the beer drawer and found this, and no it's not for sale. A two-labeled bottle of Yuengling Black & Tan. Check it out and weep, fellas.
Sorry I've been so blog-shy lately. All the doings on the Save Richmond front have been taking up what little spare time I have, which excuse may be a hard sell now that I'm putting pictures of my beer on the Internet.

very.much enjoyed the city council item on Save Richmond. i says, "wow, this guy should be a professional writer." then i recalled that's what you do.
but, y'know, adversity makes us sharper. what could we (by "we" i mean you) produce in a frictionless environment? Wittgenstein realized this and ditched his first philosophical program (the Tractatus).
Are you using OFF! as a condiment? Tasty!
Why I Love the Times-Dispatch
Twelve years later, with Virginia politics becoming polarized, Republican George Allen snatched back the governorship from Democrats by running the kind of race for which former Attorney General Mary Sue Terry was totally unprepared.
Allen's was a people-to-people effort, high-touch, with a good bit of bullying. Terry, who once led Allen by 30 percentage points, hid behind a giant pile of campaign cash and a phalanx of cocky, well-paid consultants. She seemed convinced her election was a mere formality.
let's see -- where to begin...
George Allen is a real piece of work, as was his come-from-behind victory in the 1993 governor's race. if i remember correctly, shortly before the election a psychiatrist named William Gray came forward and claimed that Mary Sue Terry was a lesbian and he had "secret files" to prove it. who was Gray? at the time he was under investigation for taking sexual advantage of young male patients. he had, in fact, lost his medical license in California previously for this very thing. Mary Sue Terry, attorney general at the time, was livid that there was no interstate communication between medical boards and that Gray was allowed to set up shop in Virginia. hence, Gray had a *revenge* motive. in any case, Allen - of course - was victorious and Gray moved to the Philippines soonafter. do you think it worthwhile information that Allen's political star was tied to the testimony of a vengeful pederast? i think it could be.
