A totally biased and unreasonable list of blogs that I think you might enjoy reading.
After years of solid near double-digit increases in ESOL enrollments in Prince William County Public Schools, this year we’ve got a respite. While overall enrollment increased 1.4 percent to 73,657, the number of ESOL students declined by 279 to 13,130. The school system had projected this number to be even lower at 12,600, and the [...]

In case you don’t get the reference, go here. While Gerry Connolly supports the lease of Fairfax County property to an Islamic school run by folks who cover up child molesters and teach jihad, he screams that Keith Fimian is a member of a Catholic organization that promotes Christian ethics in local businesses.
What a tool.
Barack Obama has a new muslim outreach coordinator to replace Mazem Ashabi, the previous coordinator who stepped down because of his associations with a radical imam. This new campaign employee, a Mr. Minha Husaini, recently met with a group of Virginia muslims, some of whom are familiar faces to BVBL readers. These folks are familiar [...]

New voter registrations in Virginia have hit an all-time high. At the same time, the number of persons being dismissed from jury duty because they are non-citizens, the list of which is taken from voter registrations, is also at an all-time high. Is voting in elections by ineligible non-citizens a problem in Virginia? Probably. Is [...]

Despite overwhelming opposition from residents in all affected jurisdictions, the members of the State Corporation Commission unanimously approved Dominion Power’s plan to construct a half-million volt transmission line through the rural crescent so cheap power from western Pennsylvania can be sold to the metropolitan New York power market. You just gotta love unaccountable bureaucrats, especially [...]
I didn’t have a chance to watch the presidential debate this evening, but the talk shows are making note of John McCain’s ridiculous proposal to socialize the mortgage market. As I understand it, anyone with negative equity would have their mortgage taken over by the federal government and sold back to the homeowner at a [...]
A new project of the local Unitarians, branded as “Virginians Organized for Interfaith Community Engagement“, had their first meeting recently to make demands that local government spend more money on public services. “VOICE” is an affiliate the “Industrial Areas Foundation” founded by radical leftist Saul Alinsky, the author of “Rules for Radicals” and “Reville for [...]
Just in case any of you out there were buying Mark Warner’s baloney that he’s some sort of “moderate”, post-partisan, reasonable kind of guy, this should lay all such misunderstandings to rest. I seem to recall Warner saying that he wouldn’t raise taxes on the campaign trail when he was [...]
Carlos Labiosa, the resident manager of the Barksdale HOA has a problem, according to the Washington Post: association members aren’t paying their dues, in some cases as a protest against the association for not making any effort to enforce the regulations of the Home Owner’s Association. It kind of makes sense that this is how [...]
At least there’s one candidate for office this election who grasps what representing the electorate is all about:
Gilmore came out strongly against the $700 billion plan, arguing in a concise way that it amounted to government run amok. Warner supported the bailout, saying it was needed to prevent economic turmoil. Warner tried to pin [...]
The House of Representatives passed the bailout bill today with roughly half of House Republicans voting for this outrage.
The Republican Party has committed suicide.
I’m getting a lot of traffic from conservatives who are outraged at the prospect that the House might approve the bailout bill tomorrow and are looking at sending a rather clear message to the Republican Party that supporting a taxpayer-funded socialist takeover of the financial markets is an apostasy that cannot be tolerated. With reports [...]
With the back-and-forth so rapidly shifting from topic to topic, it hardly seems like there’s an opportunity to get to the bottom of anything. These things increasingly look like efforts to just try to solidify the base voters, and not say anything that will drive the few undecided or malleable voters away.
Biden’s unqualified support for [...]
Do you wonder whether those anecdotal reports of illegal aliens fraudulently registering to vote had any credibility? Well, here’s another data point for you, which looks a whole lot like a ‘Get Out The Vote’ effort targeting illegal aliens:
A series of new Spanish-language radio ads will begin airing in the Washington metro area to [...]
The State Criminal Alien Assistance Program, administered by the U.S. Department of Justice offers reimbursement to localities to cover the costs of incarcerating identified illegal aliens that have committed felonies or multiple serious misdemeanors while they’re serving their sentences. Recently, they announced their 2008 grants. These awards give us a good indication of where the [...]

Has Prince William County’s Rule of Law Resolution encouraged illegal aliens to leave? And have some of those illegal aliens relocated to jurisdictions that are more welcoming to the unlawful presence of illegal aliens in their jurisdictions? According to the Census Bureau, as reported in the Loudoun Times, the answer to both of those questions [...]
Let’s say that you were a political activist, and you just didn’t have all the cycles to keep an eye on everything that’s going on in county government. Wouldn’t it be nice to have public employees taking time from their busy, taxpayer-funded scheduled in order to provide you with intelligence? Now if you happen to [...]

Item 15A on last week’s agenda of the Prince William County Board of Supervisors concerned a request to rezone about ten acres of land that is largely zoned as agricultural land to high-density residential in order to permit the construction of 128 townhouses in the Woodbridge District. When this came up, Supervisor Frank Principi argued [...]

One hundred and thirty-three million Americans filed individual tax returns in 2005, and I would imagine that the number of filers in 2007 couldn’t have exceeded an even one hundred and forty million people. If we look at the size of the bailout package that almost got rammed through the House of Representatives today, our [...]
