Thu, 09 Feb 2012 21:41:28 -0500 Regarding the story about our governor offering hundreds of millions of dollars to Senator Louise Lucas is not a great idea.  (Read Story) Portsmouth Citizens beware. Past experience, remember the hotel fiasco, shows that Senator Lucas and public funds are not a good mix when it comes to the betterment of Portsmouth citizens. Governor, please allow a stringent audit to follow those funds. http://hamptonroads.com/2012/02/senator-lucas-and-state-funding-beware-portsmouth Thu, 09 Feb 2012 07:35:19 -0500 Here is my idea on how to bring peace, with a bit of initial pain, to the Mideast.  It is so simple.  It would be so effective. Here is what we would have to do, known as "our part" in the peace initiative: Pull all our people, military, civilian, contractor personnel, tourists, everyone, out of the Mideast, no matter where they are. http://hamptonroads.com/2012/02/mideast-empire-needed-ensure-peace Sun, 05 Feb 2012 10:42:52 -0500 Super Bowl Weekend!    Whoopee!   I don’t know how many times I’ve been asked which team I’m for.  I barely know who’s playing!   In my world, Super Bowl is what Pho 79 serves. http://hamptonroads.com/2012/02/super-bowl-weekend Sat, 04 Feb 2012 08:37:57 -0500   A Man Lacking Honor Resign,  Sir   http://hamptonroads.com/2012/01/no-honor Tue, 31 Jan 2012 07:41:26 -0500 January ends on Tuesday. Then February. Then March, and so on. One-twelfth of the year is essentially gone and before we know it, we’ll move into another year! I guess age gives us perspective, the feeling that the year is fleeting. Seems like a year ago I was in high school, a month ago in the Navy, and last week, getting married.   http://hamptonroads.com/2012/01/marching-2012 Sun, 29 Jan 2012 09:30:21 -0500 Got to hand it to Kenny Alexender.  He is certainly creative.  How that he would use his creativity in a more constructive manner.  I have never trusted Delegate Alexander, and here is one reason why, read the story.  Then sit down and write your delegate telling them two things, first, tell them to laugh aloud at Alexander's attempt to stop the midtown tunnel improvement http://hamptonroads.com/2012/01/kenny-kenny-kenny-kenny Sat, 28 Jan 2012 09:38:51 -0500 We are a nation of fools.  We are gullible, believing lies and false promises voiced by politicians eager for political office.  It is nothing new -- promises given, promises broken.  Yet, the voting public seems to ignore experiences from past elections.  Politicians lie about their records; politicians lie about their opponents; polliticians lie about what they can accomplish http://hamptonroads.com/2012/01/political-lies-keeping-track Thu, 26 Jan 2012 07:25:35 -0500 It's on and it's firing up -- our President Obama continues his class warfare, along with his party cohorts, and intensified that fight with last night's political speech. http://hamptonroads.com/2012/01/obama-fires-volley-intensifying-class-war Wed, 25 Jan 2012 07:43:50 -0500 I am reminded of the 1956 science fiction movie, Invasion of the Body Snatchers by the Pilotonline article I just read. (Click Here) City Manager Marcus Jones announced that two topics of importance to citizens of Norfolk will be addressed in an open to the public session at 5:15 PM Tuesday evening, January 24th.
