1) I see the Virginia Blog Carnival is up this week. Go check it out.
2) Also worth checking out, Virginia Centrist has a post up with his top 100 guitar solos of all time.
3) At a party this weekend, somehow my name came up (alcohol can make even someone boring like me interesting, I guess) and Tom Davisite Nick Meads told my cousin Noah Shussett he was a big fan of the blog.
Noah gave me this comment from the situation: "He seemed like a decent guy, however his red-state style was not nearly as exciting as my beer. If you are going to be a monkey, be a gorilla". Good advice there from Noah.
It's worth nothing that Nick attended the party as the date of one of the Beiter twins, a hot catch indeed in Northern Virginia circles.
4) As she noted here, I met up with Virginia Pundette this weekend, while she was in Arlington. No question about it, she's the best looking blogger in the Virginia blogosphere (actually better in person then the picture). We had a great conversation, and it was good to finally meet up. It didn't occur to me how young she was until we met up though.
UPDATE: 5) I forgot to do a story on my meeting with the Republitarian a few weeks ago. Yes, it's true that he makes his wife wear a burka, but other then that.... they seemed like two really cool and informed young people in the Valley. I really enjoyed meeting them, and Republitarian is moving back to a "Gold" level blog.
UPDATE: Virginia Pundette reports on our meeting.
Those twins are hot. There should be a list of 10 hottest twin/triplets in the D.C. area for reference. They would be top 5, I'm sure.

Nice girls, but they can do better than a mid twenties Tom Davis intern.

I hope the trend of more women bloggers continues. This is a democratic medium, women's voices should be heard.

Josh:
I agree. For...uhhh...those reasons. Yeah.

I have not read much of her stuff, but...
"The bill I’m sponsoring addresses lobbying reform. Other bills include proposals to legalize marijuana, prostitution, gay marriage, and assisted suicide, lift the trade embargo on Cuba, switch to the metric system, and give statehood to D.C."
If her views on lobbying reform are anything like the rest above, I find it hard to believe her place on the political spectrum is actually "left of center" as she states. The "mock congress" she attended sounds more like the agenda for the Supreme Soviet.

I think she was going over all the bills- the rest were not hers.

Nick Meads is hot! He's quite the eligible bachelor in NOVA political circles.

I was almost jealous that you said Virginia Pundette was the best looking blogger till I realized she is 10 years younger than me and doesn't wear a burka.
Posted by: republitarian's wife | February 27, 2006 at 04:20 PM
Maybe Nick should meet Virginia Pundette?
Posted by: Miss Conservative | February 27, 2006 at 04:40 PM

TC- most of the eligible bachelors around NOVA could learn a thing or two about women from you, from what i hear.
Posted by: neocon22 | February 28, 2006 at 09:38 AM
I know neocon...it's true.

this is bens' cousin referred to in the above posting, attempting to clear the air a bit. although my cousin has informed me that the further down the page it gets the less people will read it and my attempt here is futile, as you will see throughout this post: it doesn't really matter to me.
to what i have a problem with: the fact that people may think that i had ill things to say about Mr. Nick, although my words in the post do not clearly reflect this sentiment it was in fact a statement in jest. when i met nick on friday night he was polite, engaging and as i said, a decent enough guy. the fact of me mentioning his political affiliation is a joke i picked up in the past and the few words about interest, well allow me here: i say this about most people, lightheartedly yet true at the same time, any given point, any given place, my beverage is more exciting then most people. some may find a problem with that fact, or even deem it as one has, "pathetic". hey, that's the way i am, i am okay with it, i am okay with people thinking that (and i certainly don't care if people think less of me b/c of that), if you are my friend, you should have been aware of that already. nick if you ever do see this, although my cousin told me he spoke to you this morning and that you enjoyed this whole thing, regardless if that was a brush off or not, if you took offense by that, i apologize. otherwise to everyone, i don't know why i have to be such a miserable bastard all the time, but i can't apologize for it.
the part about my twin-friends, this, my cousin wrote on his own accord. i can't really stop him from finding certain women attractive (no one can do that to anybody for that matter), and therefore can only apologize if anyone was offended/embarassed by it. at the same time, i want to say LIGHTEN UP and expand on that thought, but i think i would be out of line. so i'll leave it at that.
so what am i saying? two things: the first being that my cousin ben is phenomenal at exposing the idiocies of being brilliant which this whole thing is a clear example of. And 2, if you were under the impression that I gave a damn you are quite wrong, I don't even know what a damn is to give it.
I'm the gorilla.

When did NLS become the high-schoolized dating & gossip forum for young NoVA conservatives?
How bizarre.
Styx, you get my nomination for FUNNIEST COMMENT OF THE WEEK. Domo!
How about it, Ben, that would be better than "Weenie of the Week".
