  • Miles vs. Dirty

    Green Miles

    I work for the National Wildlife Federation. While The Green Miles is my personal blog, I do like to share some of the fun things I get to work on ... and getting to debate a global warming-denying sock puppet definitely qualifies:

  • What the world sees

    Fishersville Mike

    Don Surber opines on President Obama's struggles with health care reform.

  • What Potholes?

    From On High

    Don't drive down I-77 (I say down because the southbound lanes are much worse than those northbound) in Bland County unless you're wearing your safety helmet.  The road condition is that bad, now that the winter weather and accompanying salt have done their things to the asphalt.  It's borderline hazardous [...]

    Amidst the whirl and rush on health care, Iraq’s votes are slowly being counted, but we do have some initial trends out of the released partials (Institute for the Study of War). Here’s what we have so far: State of Law (Maliki’s list): 74-79 MPs Iraqiya (Allawi’s List): 69-79 MPs INA (formerly UIA, essentially [...]

  • American Idol results 03/17/10

    Vivian J. Paige

    Although it was St. Patrick’s Day, Irish eyes failed to smile on one contestant in Wednesday night’s results show. The remaining  twelve competitors took on tunes from The Rolling Stones – not my favorite band – on Tuesday’s show, and some fared better than others. Strange show opening: Simon took on [...]

The only sense such lopsided numbers make is that people are very angry over recent events at HRT and think [...]

  • Any means necessary

    Virginia's 5th District

    Nancy Pelosi said the other day that they would pass health care by any mean necessary and I believe her.  She and her cronies will stop at nothing to force this upon the American people, even though all polling shows that citizens with a resounding majority don’t want it.   But [...]
