Petty. Vindictive. Jerks.

And the answer is “Three words used to describe James Snead, Coy Harville and Tim Barber”. Along with Jerry Hagerman, those three idiots fired Pittsylvania County Economic Development Director Ken Bowman for absolutely no legitimate reason at all.

Endorsement: Susan Granger for Halifax Town Council

Although it’s just a seven-month term until the seat is filled in a general election, SouthsideCentral believes that Susan Granger is the strongest candidate for the vacant Ward D seat on Halifax Town Council. Besides that, she’s my sister!

2013 Lieutenant Governor Race – Update #1

Wake up, Southside! There’s a crowded field for the 2013 Lieutenant Governor race. Seriously, folks… try and get excited about this race, ok? If I can semi-pretend to be excited enough to write this article, you can at least pretend to care about the candidates.

Two new robberies and one old one.

Overnight, Danville police are reporting two armed robberies of convenience stores. That also reminded me of one other attempted robbery that happened last year in the same area, so let’s look at what happened last night and then we’ll get a reminder of what happened last year…

Fred Ingram did not say “Nigga”…

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

How to make a reporter’s head explode…

Some media people just can’t take any criticism…

A very melancholy “Happy Trails” to Tucker Watkins

My heart is heavy tonight as I mourn the death of one of the smartest and most fun political strategists that I’ve ever met.

I’m calling out a Danville partisan hack.

I hate partisanship and have no problem calling it out. This week, Danville City C0uncilman Fred Shanks got ambushed with a biased comment/question that’s so bad that I’ve got to feature it here.

Some thoughts about Friday’s Downtowner Block Party…

Lots of people (including me at times) think that Downtown Danville is dead. It’s not, and events like tonight’s Block Party proves it. Here’s some random thoughts about it…

Gazette-Virginian: Ethically Impaired and/or Lazy?

If you’re going to use a biased article written by a member of a group that has a track record for inflammatory language, you should at least disclose who wrote the article.

UPDATED: Where Are They Now?: People from the 5th District House Race

Update #1: Adding a name that was suggested by email. Thanks!

When Tom Perriello returned to Southside VA earlier this week (note that he didn’t make it to Danville), I was asked what happened to the major & minor players that participated in the 2010 election. That’s a good question and in the typical SouthsideCentral [...]

Thumbs! (6/7/12 Edition)

We used to use our Thumbs! often but we haven’t lately. It’s time to send them UP! … or DOWN!.

It’s not shouting at a telephone pole…

…but it’s just as useless. It’s stupid when Virginia Organizing does it, and it’s just as stupid when Danville’s Tea Party does it.

Festival in the Park in Black & White

Caution: This is a racist article (because I’ve got the guts to write about it).

A QuickHits! (4/30/12) Response

Sheila’s fitting in well at SouthsideCentral! She’s got something to say about yesterday’s QuickHits! article.

#1: That a sign at Piedmont Mall on a vacant storefront stating “It’s all here at Piedmont Mall” speaks of part of the problem in Danville. That all the words are spelled correctly is a good sign!

#2: So, [...]

What’s happening with “Art on Main”?

“Art On Main” was an awesome street festival in May, and I was hoping for just as much open-ended fun for the fall edition. I’m starting to doubt if that will happen.

Don McEachin, please shut up.

We’re starting our rebirth with a bang! (ugh… horrible pun)

If I’m wrong on something, I’ve got no problem admitting it. On the other hand, Don McEachin prefers to stick his fingers in his ears and say “LA LA LA I CAN’T HEAR YOU!”
