Extreme heat advisory

The only safe place in Virginia to be today is in water, with sunblock, or in an air-conditioned home. It is too hot outside.

Concealed weapons allowed in bars that serve alcohol!

huh! Yes, you read the title right. Our great state of Virginia's duly elected Republican Governor McDonnell seems to believe and the state has enacted a law allowing anyone to bring a concealed weapon in a bar that serves alcohol.

It is my opinion that this is truly one of the stupidest of moves on any body's part. I can't help but think of the old Dodge City movies where the shoot um up, bang bang in bars killed off a lot of both good and bad folks.

Is this where we are headed. Damn 2nd Amendment.
