Virginia Blog Carnival!
It's that time again! The day before the Democratic Primary between former Secretary of the Navy James Webb and longtime Democrat and businessman Harris Miller, for whose sake I will firmly not mention either candidate this Monday morning.
For those unfamiliar with the Virginia Blog Carnival, this is the best of the best for the week from the up-and-coming all the way to the long established bloggers. It is non-partisan, and it doesn't even have to be political. For those interested in hosting in the future, shoot an e-mail to Chad Dotson over at Commonwealth Conservative at jbehan -at- verizon.net.
Now onto the Virginia Blog Carnival!

Cheap Passion and Celebrity Worship

"We Will Beat Them With Our Tanks And Our Shoes!"

The Only Good Terrorist is a Dead Terrorist
by SkepticalObservor (James Young)
Finally, James Young celebrates the death of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi -- good riddance. While it may not win the War on Terror, it certainly sends a message: if you kill innocents, your remaining days will indeed be nasty, brutish, and utterly short -- courtesy of the United States Armed Forces.
That's it! Hope everyone enjoys the VBC!

BTW, Why am I on top? Not complaining, just wondering if it is because you like me best.
If so, i'll try to send a better effort next time.

Thanks, Shaun.
