Waldo Jaquith: The legislature?s most prolific copatrons.

June 10, 2009
The more time that I spend mapping the social relationships of legislators via their copatroning habits, the more fascinated that I am by this mechanism of exploring the General Assembly. It really is a powerful tool. (To see one of the ways I?m using it on Richmond Sunlight now, check out HB1721 , SB1436 , or HB2482 , where you can see a graph indicating the average partisan position of each bill?s cosponsors.) Here?s a less thoughtful usage of this data, but no less interesting: a listi...

Crystal Clear Conservative: Scenes from the YRFV Convention

I'm Surrounded By Idiots: Pointing out lies and inaccuracies from everyone, including the 99th Legislative District Republican Committee?s dishonest attacks on Albert Pollard.

April 3, 2009
I should probably preface this post by stating that I will point out inaccuracies by anyone, be them Republicans, Democrats, or Independents. I did support and vote for Albert Pollard in the special election that returned him to the House of Delegates in February 2008. One reason that I voted for him was the Republican candidate that ran against him, Lee Anne Washington , claimed that, amongst other things, that illegal aliens received in-state tuition: they don?t and they never have! On t...

FamilyFoundationBlog.com: Chaplain Religious Freedom Bill Dies in Senate Courts

February 23, 2009
This morning the Senate Courts of Justice Committee defeated HB 2314 patroned by Delegate Bill Carrico (R-5, Galax ). This bill would have restored to the Commonwealth?s State Trooper chaplains the religious liberty right to pray according to the dictates of their conscience. This restoration of freedom is necessary after State Police Superintendent Stephen Flaherty issued an administrative order that chaplains can no longer pray ?in the name of Jesus.? This decision has been strongly su...
