Award of the State 0
Dan Casey hands out the “2013 Dano Awards for Glaring Stupidity awards” and the Regent is one of the winners. A nugget:
This year’s winner of the former is the first family of Virginia. Gov. Bob McDonnell, his wife Maureen, their offspring and (indirectly) the governor’s sister received something like $165,000 worth of stuff.

Cooch and the Cuckoos, The End 0
Fall of the last cuckoo (updated to reflect changes in the source):
Watch for the exciting sequel, now in the planning stages: Unticketed and Unhinged! Return of the Cooch.
This is the first time in almost a generation that all three state-wide Democratic candidates–Governor, Lieutenant Governor, and Attorney-General–have won.
Cooch and the Cuckoos, the Final Countdown (Updated) 0
The board confirmed that Herring won by a slim 165-vote margin, beating Sen. Mark Obenshain, the Republican candidate in the race.
In Virginia, there is no such thing as an automatic recount, but I expect that Obenshain will request one before the 10-day time limit expires.
Just imagine what would have happened if the Republican Party had gutted out just a few more votes.
Addendum, the next evening:
The forces of reaction and patriarchy never give up.

I posted this earlier, then took it down while trying to shoot some trouble (H/T to George Smith for notifying me of the trouble.)
But it’s so important I’m trying again.

Cooch and the Cuckoos Vex the Polity 0
In this case, it’s one of the cuckoos, Lt. Gov. candidate E. W. “Fire and Brimstone” Jackson, who’s backpedaling.
The evangelical Christian minister from Chesapeake has been on the defensive for declaring in a sermon in Northern Virginia last month that people who don’t follow Jesus Christ “are engaged in some sort of false religion.”
Note that he said it just last week; it’s not something dredged up, as they say, from the deep dark past.
Follow the link for his lame attempts to paint his comments as rational.
I’d like to say more, but I’m rather speechless. I think his conduct speaks quite nicely for itself, though.
Bad News for the Cooch 0
The Richmond Times-Dispatch, usually a reliable right-wing lapdog, can’t bring itself to endorse him. It’s sitting out the endorsements this year.
Cantor’s Cant 0
Explicated here.
Cooch and the Cuckoos Get Duggared 0
Watch the Duggars from some “reality” show or other try to record a spot for the Cooch.
There is a back story. Cooch is scraping an empty carton for endorsements.

Local Republican Hangs Up His Teabags 7
Cory Dillard is vice chair of the Norfolk* Republican Party and was one of the organizers of the teabaggery in these parts. He’s had enough.
He details enough of what in my local rag. A nugget:
