McDonnell Administration’s War on Women’s Health: By The Numbers

Pro-choice Virginians knew what they were getting if McDonnell became governor.  That is why some of us were so vocal about his 20 year old thesis from Pat Robertson’s school.  Despite efforts to dismiss McDonnell’s thesis, many of us were not fooled, even though McDonnell attempted to bill himself as a moderate. 

McDonnell is an extremist.  The hospital designation won’t make abortion safer.  It will do what it set out to do….make abortion less accessible.  The anti-choice zealots just don’t have the honesty to say that is the real motive for such a law. 

Stonewall Student Arrested for Sexual Assault

From insidenova.com:

An 18-year-old Stonewall Jackson High School student was charged Thursday with sexual assault, police said.

A 14-year-old student at the school told police that Phillip Andrew McNuss, 18, a person she knows, sexually assaulted her in a stairwell inside the school, which is located at 8820 Rixlew Lane, more than one time between April 11 and April 15, Prince William police spokesman Jonathan Perok said.

Perok said the victim reported the incidents on Wednesday afternoon to school authorities, who then contacted police.

McNuss, of the 10200 block of Jamaica Lane, in the Townes of Ashleigh neighborhood, was charged with sexual battery, contributing to the delinquency of a minor and carnal knowledge, Perok said.

McNuss was held without bond.  Police did not have his court date immediately available.

We don’t usually cover crime.  However, this story affects many of our readers.  Maybe it’s time for some of the curtains to come down.  A 14 year old is  sexually assaulted, (whatever that means) inside the school in a stairwell during school hours?  Where were others?   Teachers, students and administrators?  Were  both students out of class?  What about security cameras?  Don’t they have those in stairwells?   How does something like this happen?

The alleged attacker lives off of Williamson Blvd.  That is a little too close for comfort.  Additionally, this is certainly not the first time that a student has been viciously attacked at SJHS.   If this kind of illegality is going on at Stonewall then security must be upgraded.  Prince William County citizens don’t send their daughters, sisters, granddaughters, and nieces to school to be sexually assaulted any more than they send their sons, nephews, brothers and grandsons to school to be brutally attacked. 

Hopefully the school will have some explanation of how this was allowed to happen on their watch. 

And if  someone is accused of sexual battery and they go to school with my family members, then I guess they should know I will plaster their  face on my blog: 

Reminder: (mainly for Moon)  Everyone is innocent until convicted by a jury of their peers.

Steve Jobs officially launched Apple’s new free iCloud service on Monday, which will replace its $99 a year MobileMe document-sharing plan. “We are going to move the digital hub, the center of your digital life, into the cloud,” Jobs said at Apple’s World Wide Development Conference in San Francisco. The iCloud will store music and other documents on large digital servers instead of your own hard drives, and users can connect to the network anywhere they have internet access.

Now this sounds neat!  Free cloud space.  What is it supposed to do?  Inquiring minds want to know.  More importantly, will it jump-start the Apple stocks that have been laggards lately?
