I’ll be collecting the refutations to recycle next time someone makes a similar, but opposite, claim.
Super Bowl I
No link, just a story I might as well tell here.
The first Super Bowl, in 1967, wasn’t called the Super Bowl, and it was played at a back-up location a month after it’s scheduled date. Continue reading “Super Bowl I”

The high cost of energy from wind kills 2 jobs for every one created.
AT: Witness time: Did Eric Ciaramella have a conflict of interest on Ukraine’s Burisma?
In this context, the deposition of the 18th House Witness, Michael Atkinson, may be of some interest. Atckinson is the inspector general to whom the whistleblower blew the whistle that started the impeachment investigation. Adam Schiff’s committee interviewed him, but the transcript has never been made public.
WSJ Endorses Alan Dershowitz
Link to source BEHIND PAYWALL.
The House of Representatives did shockingly shoddy work in investigating and drafting its articles of impeachment against President Trump. One facet among others of their embarrassment received much attention in yesterday’s question-and-answer session during the Senate trial: The “Corrupt Motives” Doctrine.

Well, just received my Va Driver License renewal notification with the “Real ID” option. What fun, what fun.
To “upgrade” to a Real ID license, I need to renew in person, show a US Passport (or other federally approved ID), or a Social Security Card (which says right on the back, “Not a Valid ID”), and a birth certificate (if it had a picture it would be worthless and I don’t remember signing it) or voter registration card (I remind you that in 2012 Mickey Mouse was a registered Va voter in Richmond), plus two forms of proof of address, e.g. a utility bill or a mortgage statement.
Is that what it has come to? In the days of automatic bill pay and online everything, the proof that I have a street address depends on copies of bills?
Wait, wait! How about the renewal application that the DMV just mailed to me? Isn’t the fact that I am holding in my hand something mailed by the DMV to me at my current license address good enough to prove to the DMV that they have my address? Sheesh.
BTW, if you think Americans are “free”, just try to leave.
A Tale of a Stinky Little Fish
Only YOU can prevent fish decimation….
Dear Virginia BoatU.S. Member:
Legislation is currently under review in Richmond to fix how Virginia manages an important forage fish, Atlantic Menhaden, which is vital to the health of the Chesapeake Bay. We urge you to ask your state legislators to pass the bills that will transfer the authority to manage this fishery from the General Assembly to the Virginia Marine Resource Commission (VMRC).
You can easily send a message to your state representative and senator by… or paste the link at the end of this email into your browser address bar.
Currently Virginia is not complying with Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission (ASMFC) regulations on the management of menhaden. Healthy, well-managed menhaden stocks support a healthy Chesapeake Bay. Unfortunately, menhaden have been targeted by commercial companies that have violated the ASMFC’s harvest limits.
VMRC has the expertise to make science-based fishery management decisions for the menhaden fish stocks as it currently does for all other saltwater fisheries managed in the state. The transfer of management authority to VMRC will not have a negative impact on the menhaden fishery, but instead will ensure Virginia’s timely compliance with ASMFC’s interstate fishery management plan as do all other neigboring states.
Please speak up now and share this information with your fishing and boating friends, neighbors, yacht clubs and marinas.
And now for something completely different
Minor apologies to Monty Python.
Does Falwell really think Virginia residents of any county want to shift to West Virginia over gun rights and for anti-choice government? If they want their public education to drop even further and to lose the tax monies they get from Richmond, feel free.
Are the invited counties contiguous to WV? Or is Chesapeake gonna be a territory in the vein of Guam?
Mideast peace plan resembles a real estate deal: will it work?
YouTube: Dershowitz says charges against Trump are ‘outside’ of impeachment offenses
I’ve seen several comments in the Forum that misrepresent Dershowitz’s remarks in the Senate impeachment trial. I provide the video for the record, then, but even more for Dershowitz’s remarks themselves which I regard as excellent and informative.
