But it was unclear whether Craigslist – an icon of the new media transformation of American society – had closed the site to placate those critics, or to hit back at them, casting itself as the victim of censorship. On its famously bare-bones Web sites, the blue-lettered link for adult services was gone. ]]> http://www.olddominionblogs.com/leftyblogs/adult-services-section-of-craigslist-shuts-down/ Notre Dame defeated Purdue, 23-12, Saturday, with a performance more notable for what the Irish didn't do than what they did.

I hope your Labor Day weekend is going well.  I just wanted to send you out a personal note.  As some of you know, when I’m not working in politics I have been in the retail industry, selling and demonstrating gaming products to the community.  Such has been my life, on and off, for the past five years or so.  Well, I’m afraid that those days are over.  Yesterday evening, my employment suddenly came to a close.  Due to financial difficulties, I was abruptly released.  Although I’ll freely admit that I have been searching for political work once more, I don’t have anything new confirmed and so I was, at best, at least two weeks away from leaving.  So now here I am, another statistic in a troubled economy, madly scrambling to find my next job before my savings are reduced to zero.  But as for you, the reader, I hope that you will stick with me through this rough patch until I escape this downward spiral. ]]> http://www.olddominionblogs.com/the-virginia-conservative/the-downward-spiral/ http://www.olddominionblogs.com/rightyblogs/griffith-cuts-boucher%e2%80%99s-lead-in-the-9th/ http://www.olddominionblogs.com/rightyblogs/instead-of-focusing-on-external-issues-focus-on-those-inside-your-own-faith/ Teachenor Clark can be found on Facebook Nashville based songwriters Jamie Teachenor and "Banjo" Ben Clark team up for this exclusive release, aimed to raise-the-hair and boil-the-blood of every liberty-loving American ready to make a difference this fall...one vote at a time.

Inevitably that brought up a discussion about the cost of the war — was the war worth it? So another Virginia blogger (See The cost of the wars  at Smash Mouth Politics .) reposted  Don’t ever complain to me about the money spent on Iraq, again by Phineas. Thus, Smash Mouth Politics  induced a discussion of the following chart. It is a nice chart, and it is literally correct, but the chart itself says nothing about our own assumptions. ]]> http://www.olddominionblogs.com/rightyblogs/the-debate-beneath-the-news-%e2%80%94-week-ending-942010/ http://www.olddominionblogs.com/rightyblogs/obama-tax-increases-to-fund-business-welfare/ I didn’t think the day would come that I agree with Anderson Cooper- but he sure hands it to Congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson. Listen to the state of denial in this elected Democrat leader’s explanations when pressed on questions of “knowing” about ethics and especially when asked whether she thought it was wrong to give scholarship money to her relatives for years and years who weren’t remotely entitled to them! LIE LIE LIE and LIE SOME MORE.  Sure sounds like Bill Clinton when he LIED about Monica Lewinsky. Similarly, Krystal Ball is denying that she had any idea of the scandalous appearance that would come out of cashing in stocks from companies that basically don’t exist or misrepresenting the facts around where her campaign donations are coming from, or the pathetically false ads that are spun up to tear down her opponent rather than positive ads about her own performance as a 28 year old Housewife, CPA, Programmer, Business Owner, New Mom, Political Strategist, Day Trader, Just an average  Mom… or promises to actually do SOMETHING better than her opponent. But let’s put the real blame where it belongs… the only way people like this get into office is because people like us elect them!  Okay, well maybe not “me”, but “us” as a general public voter. ]]> http://www.olddominionblogs.com/rightyblogs/rep-eddie-bernice-johnson-and-krystal-ball-must-share-the-same-ethics-teacher/ A local Lincoln supporter, newspaperman Joseph Medill, had written to Lincoln on August 30th, expressing concern at possible overconfidence in Pennsylvania.

According to Fox, the State Department claimed that the rifles might be used "for illicit purposes." But when asked to explain, State passed the buck to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, which passed it to the Department of Justice, which passed it back to State. The anti-gun Brady Campaign didn't hesitate to give Fox an answer, however. "Guns that can take high-capacity magazines are a threat to public safety," the group's Dennis Henigan told reporter Maxim Lott. ]]> http://www.olddominionblogs.com/rightyblogs/beating-that-same-dead-horse/ http://www.olddominionblogs.com/leftyblogs/president-obama-honoring-the-american-worker/ http://www.olddominionblogs.com/rightyblogs/how-time-affects-ones-memory/
