Boy, the brainiacs at the Prince William County Republican Party aren’t too swift. If you recall, two weeks ago, they decided to put their garbage under my doormat, since I didn’t explicitly tell them not to do that, I only told them to not stick stuff on my door. My notice is posted here. I [...]

I met Rep. Tom Davis this morning
This morning I was standing at the slug line in Woodbridge, and as I got to the front of the line I saw walking down the sidewalk several people carrying political flyers and wearing nametags. It turns out the first person was my U.S. Representative, Tom Davis. We shook hands, he worked the whole line, [...]
Vote Democratic in Two Weeks
I rarely get political here, but the Republicans in my home county make me sick. I have a clear notice on the front of my home that I don’t want junk stuck to my door. So what do the Republicans do? They stick two sets of brochures under my doormat. If they can’t follow my [...]

Re: Voting Sucks
In Voting Sucks, Devin Reams discusses his concerns with the entire voting process. His frustrations are fairly reasonable. He should do what I generally do (95+% of the time): Vote for the person running against the incumbent. He’s right, incumbents almost always win. So I try to encourage the person with the guts to challenge [...]
Idiot for Congress
Wow, I only just got my first piece of political candidate spam for this election cycle. It only had 166 email addresses listed in the To: field. And I only received four copies of this garbage. I guess I know who to vote for now: the OTHER candidate!

Junk Mail 2000
I moved from Blacksburg to the bustling metropolis of Fairfax County in northern Virginia. The apartment I am living in has locks on the mailboxes so I did not get a post office box this time. Big mistake! The first week after moving in, I received four pieces of junk mail. The next week six [...]
