Petty. Vindictive. Jerks.

Fred Ingram did not say “Nigga”…

… because you know that word could have been OK. Not.

TYOB!: This weekend’s events!

If you stay at home this weekend, you’ve got nobody to blame but yourself.

Not so fast, Walter.

Some of the anti-uranium folks seem to think that I’m in favor of uranium mining. As I’ve said before, they’re quite wrong.

Photos from the 2010 Danville-Pittsylvania County Fair

The 2010 Danville-Pittsylvania County Fair finished a 9-day run and it was the best one ever! Here’s a slideshow of some photos from this year’s fair.

Nobody loved MA!

This isn’t an article about a dysfunctional family. Today, I attended my first Regional Industrial Facility Authority meeting.

You’ve just saved $51,900,000! (not)

That’s right, folks. Taxpayers have just saved just shy of $52 Million Dollars*. (That sounds better if you do it in a Dr. Evil voice, by the way) Oh, you noticed that asterisk behind “52 Million Dollars”, did you? Very observant. Let’s see why it’s there…

Scare the hell out of them!

Sanity prevails by a 4-3 margin

The Pittsylvania County Board of Supervisors defeated the proposed 20-mile uranium mining ban on Tuesday night. Hooray!

[...]

There they go again…

Since Karen Maute’s proposed 25-mile uranium mining ban was defeated, you’d hope that the topic was dead and buried, eh? Wrong. Tuesday night, Marshall Ecker will try and get the Pittsylvania County Board of Supervisors to pass a 20-mile ban. Second verse, same as the first.

American Municipal Power shuts down new energy plant construction

You may be saying “So what?”, but this has some current Southside Virginia implications and makes me really wonder about the Mega-Park.

[...]

Won’t somebody think of the Mega-Park?

In the biggest stretch of logic since Jack Dunavant’s “Chemical Trespass” law (which was steamrolled into unconstitutional oblivion), Karen Maute comes up with another creative way to try and ban uranium mining.

A sign your town is VERY small…

We all know that Hurt, VA is a small town. We didn’t know it was this small.
