Dewey Defeats Truman
While I have no confirmation, the word last night was that Pulitzer crowd down at the “Tilghman Times” already had an article in the can that declared Gary Comegys as the top vote getter of Tuesday’s Salisbury City Council primary. They were just waiting for the final vote count to dump some numbers into [...]
Mo’ Money, Mo’ Money, Mo’ Money
The belief that Virginia needs to spend more on education is just another example of Dems pandering to their base and hoping to bring in some swing voters to boot. Their attempt to justify tax increases for transportation by claiming that education will suffer is not only old school, but ridiculous on its face. [...]
Leadership …
… or the lack of it. Last night’s Salisbury City Council meeting featured multiple examples of why Salisbury needs new leadership.
After assuring multiple people at the last meeting that there would be additional comments permitted at the February 26th meeting regarding the old mall rezoning, Council President Mike Dunn refused to allow city resident Kate [...]
Do I Have To Vote for Six?
In Tuesday’s Salisbury City Council primary you are allowed to vote for up to six (6) candidates. During the past few weeks I’ve been asked by many voters if they have to vote for six people. NO!
In my opinion, voters should vote for three (3) candidates - the three they want to win [...]
Vote in Threes - Cohen, Smith and Spies
Sunday’s “Tilghman Times†editorial on the primary was chock full of misinformation, for good reason.
This election cycle, the city seems ready to elect a council of critics: We hear a lot about what’s wrong and too little about what will be done to make things right. Issues? So what are they? Voters are right [...]
Ed Gillespie Comes to Hampton
Bacon’s Rebellion covers RPV Chairman Ed Gillespie’s visit to Hampton. Gillespie glossed over his strategy for 2007 - 2009, but seemed to fail in convincing the faithful that we need to roll over for the tax and transportation caucus.

It’s Official! The Slumlord Ticket is …
Comegys
Atkins
Ewalt
Don’t believe me. We knew that the official Barrieland ticket was - Comegys, Atkins, Ewalt. That should provide adequate evidence that the slumlords are supporting Gary and his buddies. Ride by 315 Locust Terrace (just off Waverly Drive) and see who has a big banner out front. Also check out the [...]
Public Discussion?
The house organ of the Barrie Tilghman administration granted her highness a “guest editorial” in Saturday’s addition. In yet another attempt to rebut evidence of her gross fiscal mismanagement of Barrieland’s finances the mayor claims, “We do not need campaign rhetoric. We need public discussion.”
I immediately ran to the library and looked up “public [...]
The Tilghman / Comegys Machine Rolls Into the Primary
If you read the letters to the editor in the “Tilghman Times” you would think that all is well in Barrieland. According to people like Karen Gordy you would think that Mr. Comegys and the Mayor’s record is something to be proud of:

Because Linda Kent (the most knowledgeable person [...]
Amen
Q&O posts on the renewed debate over the Confederate battle flag. To those who are uninitiated in the racial politics of the South, every four years we have this insipid debate as to what to do about flying the battle flag on the state capitol grounds in Columbia, SC.
Would I ever fly one at [...]
Not Very Wide and An Inch Deep
Why is Gary Comegys running for re-election? The city’s debt is almost maxed out. City Adminstrator John Pick let it slip last year that the Mayor (and Mr. Comegys) need a tax increase this year. Sewer and water rates have risen 10% a year for the last few years and three more [...]
Bubba Implodes
Last nights candidate forum sponsored by the Salisbury Career Firefighters Association went off without a hitch, unless you were trying to defend the indefensible. Such was the dilemma faced by incumbent Salisbury councilman Gary Comegys.

Unionistas
Issac Smith over at “The Old Line” believes that the “Employee Free Choice Act” is a great thing. He also probably believes that postcard voting is a good thing as well. What can you expect from a young man who believes that election fraud and the liberal media are urban legends. I’ve [...]
