S.R. Sidarth is definitely a winner.  Before the election campaign began, he was just a University of Virginia undergraduate.  I’ve met plenty of University of Virginia undergraduates, and believe me, I can barely remember their names [just kidding...].  Mr. Sidarth, on the other hand, is now a king amongst college students.  He’s so cool that I asked him to be my friend on facebook.com and he rejected me.  He says he wants to become an environmental lawyer, and after this sudden celebrity, he’s definitely going to get into the law school of his choice.  Rock on, Mr. Sidarth, rock on.

People Who Don’t Like Gay Marriage

That only a union between one man and one woman may be a marriage valid in or recognized by this Commonwealth and its political subdivisions…

Although two gay individuals getting married doesn’t hurt anyone else, some have decided that the idea of two individuals being gay and married is so “wrong” that it must be banned.  Not only is this idea in statutes that already exist in Virginia, but some believe this must be written into Virginia’s constitution to protect the law “from activist judges“.

A Tribute to the Daring Dragoon

Wednesday, August 9th, 2006

In eighteen-hundred-one the Revolution had been won
And Uncle Sam’s favorite son had a job he needed done
Which brought Jack to a lady, both beautiful and smart
Who found his mix intriguing—a scoundrel with a heart!

From the halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli
There was never a leatherneck braver, a Daring Dragoon is he
He’ll halt the bold advance of Napoleon’s attack
There ain’t a French or pirate rogue who don’t know Jack!

From the halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli
Sailin’ round the bloody world to defend democracy
And when ya need a fightin’ man ya’d trust to watch yer back
Just ask the bloke right next ta ya—it’s… Jack!

I just finished watching the last episode of Jack of All Trades, an absolutely wonderful TV series that began in 1999 and lasted a season and a half. There is no doubt in my mind that these were the greatest twenty two episodes of a TV series I have ever seen.

daring dragoonJack of All Trades starred Bruce Campbell as Jack Stiles and Angela Dotchin as Emilia Rothschild. Although I don’t know much about Dotchin, Campbell is best known for being a B-movie king, starring in films such as Army of Darkness while constantly spewing one liners.
