Two things that should not be cut: Immigration for high tech entrepreneurs and funding for the IRS. 

High Tech entrepreneurs create jobs in the U.S., they don't destroy them.  Please see http://wraltechwire.com/business/tech_wire/news/blogpost/9226568/  LinkHere

For each dollar given to the IRS, exponentially more is returned in taxes.  "According to Baucus, a 2003 Government Accountability Office (GAO) report indicated that there would be substantial returns on the dollar - from 11 to 13 dollars raised for every dollar spent."  Please see TaxNews.com (http://www.tax-news.com/news/IRS_Budget_Cut_PennyWise_But_DollarFoolish_Warns_Baucus____23706.html).  LinkHere

Shame on Virginia for allowing this

Headline: Shop's Guns Trigger Alert For Rate of Use in Crimes
“no other dealer listed in state records has had so many guns move so quickly from counter to crime scene in recent years.”
Eliminating guns from this country isn’t, never has been and never will be an option.  And the idiots that went on a gun buying spree before Obama’s inauguration are just that, idiots.  But gee, isn’t this a clear and flagrant example of how gun controls need to be further implemented and enforced?

My Dog

Scott Rigell

Crown Plaza – VB

October 21, 2010 – 6:30 PM

Question: "Why have you not given back the tainted money from racist e-mailers?"  What are you waiting for?"

(My paraphrasing) -

“This was something that occurred back in March and has now been released now by the Democratic controlled website Blue Virginia.  (Meaning:  The Democrat’s are being mean to me.”  They released this just before the election to make me look bad.)

In other words, he’s not going to do anything, just maintain the status quo.

MY DOG
I went down this morning to sign up my Dog for welfare.
At first the lady said, "Dogs are not eligible to draw welfare".
So I explained to her that my Dog is black, unemployed, lazy, can't speak
English and has no frigging clue who his Daddy is.
So she looked in her policy book to see what it takes to qualify...
My Dog gets his first check Friday.
Is this is a great country or what?

Editorial - The Virginian-Pilot

Interesting editorial in today's paper (The Virginian Pilot) on redistricting.  I'm new here so I have to do some research on the history of this issue and why this appears to be a political hot button.  Consistent with his wavering on potentially volatile issues, Gov. McDonell, who verbalized support for redistricting has failed to support efforts.  Any comments will be appreciated and used in future posts.
And of course the Republican Party of Virginia Beach is still in the news for inappropriate emails.  What were these guys thinking?  If your in a position that's potentially going to be under a microscope by the competition wouldn't you automatically try REALLY hard to be discrete and 'Politically Appropriate' in all ways?  I don't understand...
