It’s For The Birds
During a harvest moon there are other advantages for the bird lovers of our planet. This is the perfect time to watch the birds migrate past the light that emits from the moon. Some studies have proven that birds rely on the Harvest moon to migrate from one area to another. They have also proven that the birds wait for this moon to begin their migration.
So if you missed the show yesterday, Pete Candland, having decided to go another round with Corey, triumphantly prevailed, leaving Corey to walk away licking his wounds. In a nutshell, Pete wanted to reaffirm the Board’s language to support closing 29 and 234, ONLY when the approved Manassas Battlefield Bypass was constructed per previous resolutions. Corey, of course, fearing that his previous under handed work would be undone, vehemently objected. It was fabulous to watch. Corey tried sooooo hard to set the stage to support his convoluted narrative that ANY road was intended to replace closing 29 and 234.
Forget that ALL previous resolutions and language only discussed closing the road in relation to the 1988 Congressional Manassas Battlefield Preservation mandate. Nope, apparently, you can replace Battlefield Bypass with any old road, even one intended to make PWC the next interstate County truck route! Pete was superb in his ability to call Corey out on his lies in the most effective non confrontational way.
I rarely defend Ken Cuccinelli. In fact, I can’t remember ever doing it but once before and I don’t really remember why I defended him, but I did. This time, I actually have to feel badly for him. How would YOU like to have to follow this clown?
According to the Washington Post, the following events occurred before Cuccinelli addressed the crowd:
People brought yellow lawn chairs with the motto “Don’t tread on me,” and at least one tricorner hat was visible in the crowd. John Whitbeck, 10th Congressional District Republican Committee chairman, raised eyebrows when he kicked off the festivities by telling a joke in which the head of the Jewish religion presented the pope with a long, elaborate document that the Jewish leader said was a bill for the last supper.
