First Eagles, James and Virginia share an intimate moment. Love is in the air. A second chick should hatch today. The proud First Eagles are parents of young eaglet already.
Do there seem to be a lot more eagles these days? This is a good thing.
What the first egg hatch on the Richmond Eagle cam.
Chick flick. The chick hatched at 7 am Monday morning.
Oh! First Comment!
damn–that comment was for the Kathleen Parker thread. Gnomes on my keyboard.
Pick it up, replant it and I will take it off here. @Emma
Looks like Mr. Granville-Smith is at again…300 acres mid-county for a “world-class neighborhood. My a$$.
What good is a world class community if we don’t have enough schools, first responders and police? Our schools are overcrowded and we’ve seen fire stations and police stations put on hold. Give me a break.

Mom!!!!
We saw a eagle flying around yesterday morning in our nieghborhood and they have been spotted at the dump too 🙂
By the way, Moon how is your brother and family doing?
They are getting it together, REd Dawn. Thanks for asking. My little brother just got back from there. He is speechless over the damage. The insurance company put them up in a nice condo in a nice part of town for now and they will have to rebuild.
They really can’t go digging through anything because of the thousands of nails lying around. The dog is good and I hope she is being doubly obedient to the master who saved her life.
They are still in my prayers and if I can help in anyway I would love to! I know people have asked but I wish you would rethink about setting up a care fund for them that we can contribute too!!?? You might feel akward about doing so but maybe Elena could set something up to where we can contribute toward a gift card of some sort…
‘Don’t Re-Nig,’ the racist anti-Obama bumper sticker, appears real
By Eric Pfeiffer
PostsRSSBy Eric Pfeiffer | The Sideshow – Fri, Mar 16, 2012
An image purporting to show a racist, anti-Obama bumper sticker on the back of a vehicle has been garnering lots of attention on Facebook in the past 24 hours.
The bumper sticker reads, “Don’t Re-Nig in 2012.” And in smaller print below, “Stop repeat offenders. Don’t’ reelect Obama!” The sticker also features an image of the Obama campaign logo crossed out.
Several viewers have claimed the image has been digitally altered. After all, it seems shocking that someone would proudly display an openly racist image on their vehicle in 2012. So, is the image authentic?
In short, yes.
It’s still unclear is the image of the vehicle has been altered in any way, but a website called “Stumpy’s Stickers” offers the bumper sticker for sale for $3. And as The Root points out, the site also several other racially insensitive items for sale as well. The urban myth debunking site Snopes says it cannot yet determine the origins of the photo, but also points out the availability of other similar t-shirts and bumper stickers.
There is even an eponymous “Dontre-nig.com” website that appears to have crashed. Going to the page brings up a “Bandwith Limit Exceeded” warning message. I checked the domain registration service site WHOIS, which listed the site as belonging to an anonymous owner who purchased the URL through the company DomainsByProxy.com, based in Scottsdale, Arizona. The company specializes in keeping the names of Internet domain owners private.
And as one astute Facebook reader pointed out, the bumper sticker is not only offensive, it’s pretty dumb. After all, if you take the top message at its literal meaning, to not renege in 2012, would mean to in fact re-elect President Obama.

Sure are a lot of bigoted cowards who hate Obama not because of his policies but because he is black.

The column is called “The Sideshow”……that’s really all you need to know.
Regardless of what it is called, there are a bunch of inappropriate references being made from race to religion to other things that just don’t seem important. So much for the denials that the hatred has anything to do with race for some Americans. Their cars don’t lie. Their t-shirts don’t lie.

Too bad he only faces life in prison. He needs to be executed. Boris Alfredo Juarez Ascencio is the killer of Mickey Hernandez.

Heaven help us!! We knew this was coming, but it’s now official. So nice to see him going against the GOP “plan”. 👿 Doesn’t he know it’s Bolling’s turn, not his. Tisk, tisk, Ken.
http://www2.insidenova.com/news/2012/mar/22/ken-cuccinelli-files-va-governors-race-ar-1786162/
Ken plays by Ken rules. He doesn’t mind screwing over Bolling. After what I have seen this past legislative session, I would say its not either one of em’s turn. Its back to the Democrats for sure. Last session probably did more to make certain I never vote R again than I can even explain. I am not saying never because I never say never but darn close to it.
The Republican legislation made me ashamed to be a Virginian.
@Lafayette
I am going to have to find a good picture of a horse’s ass to post every time we mention Cuccinelli.
If anyone as one, please email me.
I think this one would work just fine.

Al Sharpton’s mother passed away yesterday morning but he kept his promise to be in Sanford, Florida. He said he mother would have wanted him to be there. He said she always told him if he didn’t stand for something, he would fall for anything.
Those might just be real good words to live by, Mrs. Sharpton.

A good observation.
Seems they placed a new power plant into Dick Cheney’s Exoskeleton yesterday!
I am not even going to comment other than to wish former VP Cheney a speedy recover.
Did anyone else catch this article on the Executive Chef at the Governor’s Mansion? Seems as though he left or was fired back in February, but the public has not heard boo about this story. They say even insiders were kept in the dark.
I found would thing from the article very interesting..
“In 2000, Schneider was charged with felony embezzlement and found guilty of petty larceny embezzlement, according to court documents.”
Don’t they do criminal background checks at the Governor’s Mansion? Most convicted felons are lucky to land a job of any type let alone one at our GM. Funny, we have local convicted felon and he loves to invoke himself into government and be closely linked with a supervisor. Convicted felons loose they voting rights. Unless they pay meg bucks to have them restored. So why are convicted felons so closely connected to those running our government?
http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/dc-politics/va-governors-chef-leaves-amid-investigation/2012/03/24/gIQA5v5qYS_story.html?hpid=z3
Was that a rhetorical question, Laf?
^one thing from the article
Whew, what a day!
Santorum loses it and goes totally ballistic. Obama is caught whispering sweet somethings in the ear of his Russian visitor. The New Black Panthers, or something like them, are adding fuel to the racial situationl. Sharpton, as usual, is in there because he can NEVER shut up. Vile signs at today’s demonstration in front of the Supreme Court. And that’s only what I, “little me”, happen to know. Who knows what else!
Only good thing was the stockmarket.
That is a great report, punchak. You sure saved me some time. Be careful or you will get a permanent job!!!!
Several groups have renounced the new black panthers. They have placed a bounty on Zimmerman, dead or alive or so I have heard. Someone should slap an injunction on those thugs. (and a gag order…screw free speech as far as they are concerned.)
The bluebells near the creek along Piper Lane (near the airport) are blooming. They can be seen from the car or you can pull over and walk to the creek.
Censored, how long will they bloom? Do you have them in your yard?
I havent been out yet to check on mine.
M-h, I don’t have them. I think our yard is probably too dry. I’m not sure how long they bloom here. Some sites say three weeks.These are mainly blue with some pink. Blue = mature?

Record Number See Romney Negatively; Obama Outpaces Him in Popularity
By Greg Holyk | ABC News – 4 hrs a
Mitt Romney trails Barack Obama by 19 points in basic popularity as the 2012 presidential contest inches closer to the main event, with a record 50 percent of Americans in the latest ABC News/Washington Post poll now rating Romney unfavorably overall.
Thirty-four percent hold a favorable opinion of Romney, the lowest for any leading presidential candidate in ABC/Post polls in primary seasons since 1984. His unfavorable score is higher than Obama ever has received; it’s been exceeded by just one other Republican candidate this year, Newt Gingrich, and by only one top candidate in 28 years, Hillary Clinton in 2008.
Obama, for his part, remains above water – 53 percent favorable, 43 percent unfavorable in this poll, produced for ABC by Langer Research Associates. It’s Obama’s third consecutive month with a rating more than 50 percent positive, after dipping to 47 percent in September, the lowest of his presidency.

Not lookin’ too good for Romney. Obama’s going to kick Romney’s butt come fall!
@Starryflights Wow, it’s a Barbie fashion show! Or maybe the average voter is mentally a 16-year-old.
@marinm
Wow, National Rifle Association selling hoodies made especially for carrying hidden weapons!!! That’s great. A bit expensive though.
There is no new news. Everything is old news and speculation on the outcome of the Supreme Court on ACA. We will know when we know. Not much left to say about the Trayvon Martin situation either. The Zimmerman side has come out, the Sanford Cops have come out. Martin story stays the same.
The pilot going postal is news but sort of National Inquirer type news. Glad there were 2 of them and a back up. I guess there was no sky marshall on that flight.
I was on that flight last time I went to Vegas. Another reason to add to why I have hung up my wings. Nut burger pilots.
Why no story on the Supremes? Its just bloviating from both sides at this point.
How you don’t have an hour-long political analysis show on MSNBC is beyond me.
Are you absolutely sure he doesn’t?
They can’t afford me.
Re: the Supreme Court case, I kinda hope that the Supremes overturn the health care law so that we can start getting for-profit insurance businesses out of running our health care system. Other developed nations of the world do not allow for-profit businesses to manage their health care system.

If any of you have an interest in being truly creeped-out, apparently Arlen Specter’s memoirs reads a lot like the Caligula screenplay. I mean….super creepy.
That’s nasty. Thanks for imbedding bad thoughts in my mind, pokie. I will get even.
It has been a long time since I had a shiver go up my spine. I swear to God I had one reading some of the “highlights”.
Give an example of just one. You have set off something horrible in my mind. Lets just get a focus on it. Maybe it will go away.
So last month, Obama submitted his budget. The house had a vote this morning, and it failed 414-0. Close!
I just heard something about why the Democrats voted against it but I sort of shut it all out.
From NARAL Pro Choice America:
Hall of Shame: The Gyno-Governors
“You just have to close your eyes.”
That’s what anti-choice Gov. Tom Corbett (R-Pa.) had to say about women who don’t want or need to view an ultrasound image that would be required by a forced-ultrasound bill in the Pennsylvania legislature.
Forced-ultrasound bills are just one way governors are practicing medicine without a license. Corbett joins his colleagues Gov. Sam Brownback (R-Kan.), Gov. Bob McDonnell (R-Va.), and Gov. Rick Perry (R-Texas) as four “Gyno-Governors” who practice medicine without a license, each in his own way.
The repugs are going to pay a steep political price this November for their war on women.
Well, your argument is so detailed and well thought-out….it’s really impossible to argue with!!
I hope he is right. Lots of women are pissed off over the various issues that have come up, like Gov. Ultra-Sound, Contraception, etc. It isnt a good way to get votes from mainstream women. Actually, it doesn’t matter about the True Republicans and the True Democrats but it really sucks with the Independents and young people.
Well, if he’s wrong, you’ll hear me laughing if you’re anywhere inside the county!

@SlowpokeRodriguez
Ok, refresh so I can listen for the sounds of laughter. I forget which you are banking on.
Let me get this straight….you don’t think that the woman vote is going to be affected at all because of all the attacks on reproductive rights, etc? Governor Ultra Sound lost no street cred? Rush got accolades for calling Fluke a slut?
Where is Mrs. Rodriguez? Mrs. Pokie? Sic him!
I’ve been wondering – is there a word for a male slut?
Also – what if Limbaugh had been female?
