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.

We’re planning… to kick you out!

You just bought a large mall that’s seen better times in a city with 20+% unemployment, so what do you do? That’s right… you kick out one of your anchor stores that’s been there since the beginning. Wait, what?!

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 the 2012 Eden RiverFest…

If you missed this year’s version of Eden (NC)’s RiverFest, you missed one of the best fall festivals in the area. Let’s break in down in the “Random Thoughts” format…

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!.

ThreadSpotting: “Boobs… or No Boobs”

What do you get when you combine gameshows and breast implants?

Every so often we go outside the SouthsideCentral area for things that are interesting and we’ve found a messageboard thread that will creep you out while making you laugh hysterically.

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.
