Good grief. This admittedly rambling rant is from the now mayor Gate City, mayor now that the previously elected mayor has been indicted on several counts of voter fraud (and whether he is convicted or not, the election was undoubtedly thrown by someone). Rambling or not, the political machine down there is out of hand: even the legal stuff is just plain creepy.
State of my birth, Virginia. Totally free from crooked cronyism, I can’t ask that from any state or party. But after a wiretapping scandal and now this, jumping the shark is getting dangerously close. Given that this is how they apparently do things down there, I dread to find what the statewide elections with this bunch will produce.
