Transportation Solution

The details of the transportation compromise have been released.

And it looks like the gas tax made the cut.

Here’s the highlights.  The smidgeon of $250 million dollars of General Fund money to finance $2.5 billion of statewide bonds has been lowered to $172 million, which makes it a fragment of a smidgeon of the $72 Billion state budget.  Do that math!  I tried to make another pie chart, but my computer said “I can’t chart ZERO”

Kaine whined again, as if he doesn’t like it as much as he likes his own plan which he never revealed and never submitted.

Hampton Roads regionally has a $200 million dollar annual revenue highlighted by a 2% gas tax (who saw that coming?) and 10-cents per $100 of commercial real estate tax.

  1. So much for the stridently flat-earth, anti-tax House.

    Not that the papers will report it that way. Nope — can’t fool with the meta-narrative.

  2. What about all-appointed, unaccountable regional authorities?

    Did that abonination survive the cut?

    If so, I will be visiting Governor Kaine to remind him that he ran for office promising to veto any bill that created regional transportation authorities AND that he’d veto any new taxes unless the TTF was protected by a Constitutional Amendment.

    Is the final bill HB 3202 - or some other bill?

    Gov. Kaine can do whatever HE WANTS to the final bill - whatever bill that is.

    At the end of the day it is good to be able to have time with the Governor so he may consider fixing BAD BILLS before signing them.

    Dealing with one person is far easier than dealing with the soup opera cast we call the General Assembly.

  3. Who ate the $639 million dollar surplus?

  4. I thought the GOP plan had in it a one-time $500 million allocation from this surplus to TTF.

  5. I don’t think it has the 21 votes in the Senate. Bolling can’t break the tie on this one.

  6. The $500 million from the GF is still there. I have the details of the plan on my blog.

  7. Stop whining guys. Kaine says the plan has “huge problems” - that means it’s good.

    Get on board and help Repubs keep the majority.

  8. Who cares about the freakin Republicans? They are done. I’ll vote for Dick the Dogcatcher before I vote for another imitation Democrat.

  9. Awesome, counting me my wife that’s 3 votes I know of . . .

    Please visit my campaign website at : www.All-Rublicans-Stink.org

    And remember, it isn’t who you elect, it is who you throw out of office that counts.

    This ad paid for by the Democrat Party Friends of Dick the Dogcatcher.

  10. At least with the Democrats, you know you are going to get Dick.

    What the Republicans offer is the political version of a porno re-run from the Playboy channel. You get the same plot, lousy acting, and everything is hidden.

  11. Darrell, you sound a little too familiar with that.

  12. Well, I did live on the West Coast for 20+ years. ;}

    As a member of the California conservatives, I have witnessed the best the Dems can offer. It gives you a good perspective when Virginia politicians attempt cheap imitations. Sorry, they just don’t measure up.

    Why vote for fluff, when you can vote for Dick?

  13. Darrell, I don’t understand? You’ve been critical of Virginia Republicans in most of your comments, but in this one, you say that you have “witnessed the best the Dems can offer” in California and that Virginia politicians are “cheap imitations”.

    Do you mean the Dems here are cheap imitations? Or, did you mean to say that you saw the best Republicans can offer in California and the one’s here are cheap imitations?

    Either way, I think we get your point. Politics, in your view, is better in California. That explains a lot.

  14. Actually you missed the point. The Republicans are sacrificing their own party creed to become Democrats with a different name. They attempt to do so covertly. So if Virginia is to become a liberal state, why pick a bunch of amateurs when you can have the pros? At least the Dems are up front about it.

  15. Darrell is right! Vote us Dems into power and at least you know what you will be getting - pretty much the same thing you now get from Rebublicans in power - only we DEMS will proudly boost that raising your taxes and spreading Socialism is what we stand for!

    I’m pretty sure that is Darrell’s point.

    I mean what Dems do you know that don’t support cradle to grave entitlements such as Universal Healthcare?

    Sure, I understand that there is a great need to raise your taxes - especially on the wealthy, but I admit it!

    So vote for me instead - and throw those dishonest Republicans out on the street where they belong.

    We Dems understand what so many of the masses have failed to appreciate, ruling is our birth right. We are enlightened and we understand how best to spend your money.

    Voting for us Dems is a vote for the greater good.

    Nasty, selfish, and mean spirited Republicans believe that everyone is on their own and if you can’t compete in life then your government doesn’t have any requirement to step in and help you. Some of the GOP hard core neocons will even admit this is how they feel, can you believe that?!

    So Darrell, some of my local MoveOn.org friends are hosting a screening of Al Gore’s terrific documentary - An Intentional Lack of Truth this Sunday morning, can we count on you to join us?

    We felt that was the best time to schedule this because we understand that no rational adult would actually be attending a church where they worship mythical, supernatural beings that no one can prove exist.

    Contact my website for the address in Ghent where you can join us.

Lindsay Proves She Deserves to be Maxim’s #1

Thu, 05/17/2007 - 9:00am story by Molly

Lindsay earned her stripes (literally) as #1 Most Hottest at the Maxim party celebrating their Hot 100 List in NYC last night. She looked smokin’ (and surly) in a skintight rainbow number. Calum accompanied his lady, but she wasn’t about to let him steal her red carpet thunder by walking together (more on those two crazy kids and their recent fighting later). Avril, who came in at #15 on the list, looked like a death mess while Kate Walsh (#52) was infinitely more fabulous with that amazingly adorable puppy in her arms. I don’t know why a puppy was at the party (or whether he should have been), but I know that I love it. Hilary and Haylie (#23 and #89, respectively) held their own, but I gotta hand it to Lohan. Girlfriend stole the show.

To see tons more pics from the evening including all the gorgeous ladies above plus an adorable Sophia Bush Brian Austin Green, Ice-T and Coco, and Kathy Griffin (who somehow didn’t make the list) just

Jennifer Love Hewitt Nude in Playboy
I heard Jennifer Love Hewitt already pose for Playboy, but i think that just a rumour
here is Source
“Jennifer has received some really big-bucks offers for years from magazines, including Playboy, to pose nude,” but she has always laughed off the idea, a close friend tells Star People.

“She always gets offered a cute little sidekick role,” another friend says. “She told me that maybe a sexy magazine layout with her showing her assets might give her a little edgier image, and she might be considered for a femme fatale role.

“She knows she can pull it off, but she thinks casting directors aren’t so sure.”

Beckham´s Bend

12 Jan 07 12:01:32 PM - 179 Views |  comments rss: 

If English football is hype, then David Beckham is its hyperbole. He might have bent a mean free kick in his heydays, but at present the importance of Beckham lies not as much as in his feet as on his visage. His decision to join an unknown club in Los Angeles for a fancy fee is like Leonardo DiCaprio doing the Full Monty in a Paris nightclub. The great game of football will not be any poorer because of Beckham´s latest bend.

Fui convidado pelo meu amigo e parceiro de blog Alexandre Rauta, do Blogadão para o meme “As 5 capas da Playboy que me fizeram babarâ€. Nunca fui de comprar muitas Playboys, principalmente depois de ter acesso a internet. O que não significa que eu não tenha visto inúmeras edições. Bom, de acordo com o propósito do meme, aí vão as 5 que mais gostei:

Março de 2000 - Suzana Alves: a então Tiazinha tirava sua máscara pela primeira vez. Pra mim, o melhor ensaio que já vi na Playboy. Show.

Abril de 2007 - Fani Pacheco: a ex BBB 7 mexeu com todos o cuecas que assistiam o programa da Globo. Vivia dizendo aos quatro cantos que não vivia sem sexo e que estava “subindo pelas paredesâ€. Quando saiu do programa e posou nua, não decepcionou. Grande!

Novembro de 2000 - Scheila Carvalho: A ex-morena do É o Tchan fazia seu último ensaio para a Playboy. No auge de sua forma, deve ter pensado: “Já que é a saideira vou esculachar…â€. Irada!

Setembro de 2000 - Helen Ganzarolli: A assistente de palco do Gluglu, ops, Gugu, posava nua pela primeira vez. A “Mulher Maravilha†faz jus ao apelido. Sensacional.

Julho de 2007 - Ana Paula de Oliveira: A bandeirinha mais gostosa do mundo. Essa é a definição perfeita. Não quer dizer muita coisa, afinal não tem muita mulher nessa função, mas talvez por isso tenha mexido tanto com quem gosta de futebol. Com ela em campo, só sei que foi gol com o grito da torcida…

Como o meme só pede 5, deixei inúmeras capas, pra não dizer quase todas, de fora.

Tops como Ellen Rocche, Sheila Mello, Franciely Freduzeski, Deborah Secco, Syang, Kelly Key, Joseane Oliveira, Sabrina Sato, Cida Marques, Maryeva Oliveira, Regiane Alves, Danielle Winits, Dany Bananinha, Juliana Paes, Pietra Ferrari, Mel Lisboa, Luma de Oliveira, Bárbara Borges, Ana de Biase, Natália Nara, Grazielli Massafera, Fernanda Paes Leme, Rita Guedes, Mariana Felício, Flávia Alessandra, Luize Altenhofen, Karina Bacchi, Gracyanne Barbosa, Carol do Big Brother Brasil dentre tantas outras merecem meu destaque.

Veja todas as capas da história da Playboy no Brasil, clicando aqui

É isso, convido agora o Michel, do Cenário Virtual, para dar continuidade a esse papo.

A book from the Playboy Bunnies

April 10, 2007 at 3:47 pm by Kristi Gustafson

What woman doesn’t want to work it like a Playboy Bunny? OK, there are probably many, but then there are those who look to Hugh Heffner’s “girls” with admiration.

Understanding what goes on in their heads (and their beds) just got a little easier. Three professional Bunnies—one a career-driven diva, one a quintessential party girl and one happily married—get together and dish on everything in “The Bunny Book: How to Walk, Talk, Tease, and Please Like a Playboy Bunny,” by Deanna Brooks, Pennelope Jimenez and Serria Tawan.

The Bunny Book: How to Walk, Talk, Tease, and Please Like a Playboy Bunny

They share insider tricks on how to wow a first date, walk in high heels, look (and feel) great naked, give an unforgettable strip tease, how to choose the right makeup and lingerie and more. Covering the dos and definite don’ts of dating and mating and looking good, this book has expert advice from the gals who know how to walk the walk and talk the talk. 

Here’s a peek.

The Bunnies On:

Beauty Rituals:

Don’t wear too much makeup. Laying it on too thick makes you look like you are trying to cover up ugly.

Working Out:

Girls, don’t ever weigh yourself—you shouldn’t even own and scale! Muscle weighs more than fat, so how your clothes fit and how you feel is a much better way to judge what kind of shape you are in.

Cocktail Hour:

Don’t ever order a drink in a martini glass if you are trying to impress—they’re heavy, hard to hold, and will always spill, especially if you are a little tipsy. Wine glasses always look good, no matter what you are wearing.

Flirting:

If you think that flirting is for the pickup scene only, then you’re missing out on half the fun! We consider ourselves career flirters, and you should make that your goal, too. Whether you’ve been with a guy for five weeks or five years, you should be flirting like you’ve still got butterflies.

The First Sleepover:

Be prepared: carry your own toothbrush in your bag! If you forget, ask if he has an extra one you can borrow—most guys do.  If he doesn’t, ask if you can borrow his—and if he hesitates, just remind him that he wasn’t so prissy when you two were…well…you know what to say!

DesignRchic’s Ideas for Karma’s BR

Wed, 01/31/2007 - 10:59am Post by DesignRchic

UPDATE: I just uploaded all the products listed her in my Fab Finds under “karmasab*tch bedroom ideas.” For some reason, the Crate and Barrell Leaning desk had difficulties going into the Fab Find, but you can go to their website under “Home Office Furniture / Office Desks, Armoires” and scroll down to the Leaning Desk.

Sooo Karma, Here’s my vision for your bedroom. If you’re not going to end up buying a loft bed, or any other bed, my suggestion is replacing the one you currently have in your room with your daybed.

Here are some Black/White/Magenta bed’s in a bag that are on sale at Target (go online).
Not sold out on this one, but you get the idea.Not sold out on this one, but you get the idea.

OK, OK, I'm feeling this one...OK, OK, I’m feeling this one…

My favorite!My favorite!

Here are some pillows you can buy that are also on sale at Target. They’re cheap, and add so much to a room. You can put a few on your black couch and bed.

This one added on 2/9
This pillow is 16.99!! at www.wrapables.com >under “Sale/Decorative Pillows”

I LOVE Whip’s idea of mounting shelves on the wall to save space too! Another way to save space and have a desk, is to EVENTUALLY get something like this Leaning desk/bookshelf. I have one of these in our tiny condo, and let me tell you, it’s perfect for small spaces!
Crate & Barrell $199.00Crate & Barrell $199.00

I’d also suggest getting rid of the brown bookshelf, the one to your left as you enter your room. It doesn’t go with the rest of the room and with mounted shelves, you won’t need it.

I’m thinking of finding a TV stand the same width as the wall between the closet and entryway…

And finally, the layout for your bedroom. I tried to get as accurate as possible with dimensions.

Eva Has Her Birthday Cake, Not Seen Eating It Too

Thu, 03/15/2007 - 8:56am story by Molly

Eva Longoria took a break from all her wedding planning to help launch Bebe Sport (and celebrate her 32nd birthday) in LA last night. Eva was named the face of the new branch of bebe in January, but this is the first big event where she’s strutted her spokesmodel stuff. The Duff sisters were also out with a vengeance (and dare I say, Haylie is really stepping up her game) along with Katharine McPhee and Daisy Fuentes. Random! In other Eva news, her big day, July 7, is fast approaching (okay, fine, like 3.5 months) and she’s obviously excited to gush about her plans. She even recently told Marie Claire that she wants her friend Kenny Chesney to play at the reception. Well played, Eva, cause now it could be totally awkward if he says no.

Speaking of Eva’s big day, stay tuned at the end of March, when we officially launch our Wedding Season 2007 Coverage on all the Sugar Sites!! Good. Times.

To see more of Eva (including her wielding an enormous knife), Hil/Hayl, Brenda Strong and Daisy Fuentes just

Paris Hilton To Play Mother Teresa?

Posted by Sean on February 14th, 2006
Filed under: Movies

I don’t know what it is, but lately it seems like I’ve been reading an awful lot of bizarre news stories that force me to stop and evaluate just how close we are to April Fool’s Day. Hmm… still a month and a half to go. Well, that doesn’t make me feel any more confident in the validity of this scoop, but here we go: according to Dark Horizons, Indian filmmaker T Rajeevnath is interested in casting Paris Hilton as the missionary Mother Teresa, one of the most famous and respected people of our time, in an upcoming movie. Apparently Rajeevnath gained respect for Hilton after she refused to pose nude for Playboy. “Although there are several actresses willing to play the role of Mother Teresa, the most widely respected and loved person, the history of the actress who is finally chosen for the role would have to be analysed thoroughly before she is chosen.” And you’re considering Paris Hilton because…?
