Wartime Museum? Is it just another shell game or do they want a million bucks?

Angelina_Apr

Kipp Hanley of the News and Messenger did a great job explaining the recent developments of the proposed Wartime Museum that some day will be over in Dale City.  So far, the County dealings with this endeavor have been shrouded in the haze of politics.  Kipp held up the torch and uncovered a few things.  For starters, and most importantly, the museum wants $200k from us, the taxpayers, for the next 5 years.  Secondly, the CEO hired to oversee all the fund-raising etc. is no longer at the helm  the organization.  However, it does appear that he still sits on the board.  Thirdly, and this becomes a question, why is the director of operations, the same person who is in charge of doling out the arts money in Prince William County?

 

 

Hanley’s article, Wartime Museum gets financial reinforcements, managed to unearth all sorts of information most of us had questions about but couldn’t find the answers to.

Taxpayers were once again bamboozled by the a “land deal.”  Apparently the Hyltons donated the land in exchange for a zoning swap deal.  NO plans have surfaced yet for that parcel of land.  Why was the county even involved?   If the Hyltons want to donate land, have at it.  They shouldn’t get anything in exchange for their generosity from the county.

Pornographers strike back….at Rick Santorum

Rick Santorum really doesn’t pick his battles very well.  He now has gone on record stating that that President Obama has been weak on prosecuting pronography and if he is elected, he will be tough on vanquishing prono.

The empire has struck back with its own video protesting Santorum which can be found at http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/04/09/porn-stars-against-santorum_n_1412456.html?ref=politics&ir=Politics .   According to Huffingtonpost.com:

Porn stars are calling for a national day of, uh, action against Rick Santorum and his anti-porn stance. Of course, the protest won’t involve taking to the streets so much as staying inside with the blinds pulled.

In a video for Jest.com, several of Vivid Entertainment’s brightest stars got together to publicly decry Santorum’s verbal crusade against porn, following up their argument by asking supporters to take part in #wankout2012, which is exactly what you think it is.

I don’t want to sound prim and stoggy but why does this have to enter into the presidential race?  There is only so much that can be done about legal pornography and no president in his right mind is going to tackle something legal.  Santorum really needs to pick and chose his battles more closely.   Isn’t it past time for Santorum to fold up his tent  and take his stuff on home?  I hear his mother calling him.

Post Script:  While I am sure the ladies are delightful, I have left a link for them.  Please go visit them at Huffington Post, rather than here.  Moonhowlings is a respectable establishment.
