McAuliffe The Jokester?
From On High (Free subscription) | 06/01/2009
Who knew? From a Roanoke Times editorial piece on Brian Moran's call for his opponents to forgo campaign donations from out-of-staters: " Former Del. Brian Moran wants to be governor. His first task is surviving the Democratic primary battle against Sen. Creigh Deeds and Terry McAuliffe, former Democratic National Committee chairman and Clinton corny." A Clinton corny? Terry McAuliffe? I thought...

Looking back on Goode.
Waldo Jaquith (Free subscription) | 06/01/2009
A couple of Fifth District papers are taking a look back at former congressman Virgil Goode’s history as a career politician. In the Roanoke Times, Janelle Rucker finds that Goode isn’t saying what he’ll be doing next. I can’t imagine he’d do real well as a lobbyist; he was so ineffective in Washington, and was proud [...]

We miss Lynchburg!
Jessicarrot (Free subscription) | 05/01/2009
Unfortunately, these are the only pictures I got before my camera died. We visited with friends in Roanoke on Friday and then drove to Lynchburg Saturday morning. On the way, we called some good friends and had an insta-party at one of our favorite parks. That is where the pictures were taken of the kids. [...]

Atheist: Don't Call Me An Atheist
From On High (Free subscription) | 05/01/2009
This, from a Roanoke Times guest column , is funny, if confused: Since I and a few others were the object of staff writer Rob Johnson's article "Nonbelievers go through the motions," I would like to respond to some of the article's comments. Johnson continually referred to myself [sic] and others as atheists. Atheist is an inflammatory and derogatory word that many attach to the outspoken, somewhat...

The Worx Band at the Roanoke Civic Center for the 2008-2009 New Year’s Eve party. Everyone had a great time, even better than last year!! I played a little with longer exposures to get the dance movement and the lights flickering on and off. Oh, and load out took 3 hours, so [...]

Another lesson in church/state separation, this time from Roanoke
Rick Howell Speaks (Free subscription) | 02/01/2009
Roanoke Vice Mayor Sherman Lea is a fine individual and a highly effective member of city council. If I remember correctly, Lea got the largest number of votes in the city council election last May. But, as a story this week in the Roanoke Times detailed, Lea's prayer at the start of a recent council meeting was yet another example of why governmental bodies need to end this whole thing...

Vice Mayor Won't Offer Invocation If It Must Be Non-Sectarian
Religion Clause (Free subscription) | 02/01/2009
The Roanoke, Virginia Times reported on Wednesday that Roanoke's vice mayor, Sherman Lea, who is also a minister, is asking that his name be removed from the list of clergy who offer invocations before city council meetings. His request came after council members and the ACLU received an e-mail from a Roanoke citizen complaining about Lea's Dec. 15 invocation which included several...

Heads In The Sand
From On High (Free subscription) | 02/01/2009
It's interesting that the kids over at the Roanoke Times would write this in this morning's editorial (" Scientists disagree on climate change "): "The Bush administration has shown little fidelity to science, much less an open mind about the dangers of climate change." Interesting because they then follow up with this: "The scientific community is in broad agreement that increasing levels of...
