Gerry Connolly's Fairfax County Town of Herndon

Celebrate diversity:

Our future.
The Herndon Police responded to a stabbing in the 1200 block of Springtide Place just before 11 p.m. on Wednesday August 20.

Officers found a 40-year-old Herndon woman had been stabbed in the upper torso. The victim was transported to INOVA Fairfax Hospital and was treated and released. "This stemmed from a domestic dispute," said Lt. Jeffrey Coulter of the HPD.

Police detectives have obtained warrants charging Fredy Zuniga-Casceres, 27, with Burglary and Malicious Wounding. Zuniga-Casceres has no fixed address and also goes by an alias of "Illiny," according to police.
 

Failpandering in the Old Dominion

I'm sure that the "genius" reporter from CBS NEWS is to blame for this, but the attempt at pandering is rather funny in and of itself, too:

(MARTINSVILLE, Va.) Would you vote for your cousin if he or she ran for president? Barack Obama hopes so.

Today, he told a small group of supporters in Virginia that he may be related to them.

While describing his family’s background, he said, “You trace back my family on my mother’s side: Scots Irish. There are a whole bunch of those folks here in Virginia,” he said. “All right. So ya'll didn't know, but we may be cousins.”


"Ya'll?" What the heck kinda language is that?

More importantly, when can we expect an EPIC video of Obama a la Clinton to be released?

Update: Upon further reflection, it's occurred to me that this spelling just might be intentional. As in, perhaps Our World's Annointed President was using a bit of his masterful German to make his point.
 

Best Band, Evar!

Yes, it's absolutely true. Beer and toy musical instruments will definitely lead to awesomeness like this:



I'll be on the edge of my seat, waiting to find out which beer company is going to sign these guys for their next marketing campaign. (Big h/t to Preston Taylor Holmes@SMB)

Oh yeah—For those of you who are amongst what we like to refer to as "The Young," these guys are playing this song, which was made by a band you've never heard of.
 

Ehud Olmert's Political Career

Me: ... is so radioactive!

You: How radioactive is it?

Me: This much.

(Yeesh, it must be too early for this stuff. Maybe I'll mosey on over and get some coffee right quick. ;-) )
 

Let's Play: Ragie or No Ragie?

Could it be? Could I have really missed our own Shakeel Bhat, world-famous Islamic Rage Boy, in one of the protest photographs from Kashmir that I highlighted recently?

Loyal reader Arvind says that I have missed him, indeed. And you know what? I'd have to say that I would be sorely disappointed in the proverbial "Powers of Me" if I did!

I'll leave it up to you, the reader to decide. The best way to determine a person's identity, as far as I've been able to tell from the newswires, is their chompers. Their teeth.

On the left, our protester in question. On the right, every mid-res copy of Rage Boy's teeth that I've got on file. Can you figure this mystery out?

There can be only one.
 

Creative Marketing 101

Uh, guys? If your product is so heavy that you need a professional wrestler to hold it up, you might just want to re-think your marketing direction:



While I'm on the subject, I think this game shows off the visually stunning features of the Sony PSP handheld better than any other game in the whole entire world.

I just know Rooster will be picking his copy up tomorrow.
 

YMC-AAaaarggh!

I swear, everybody's doing it these days.

Heck, this photo even made it to the front page of DayLife!

I miss out on all the fun, I tell ya...
