Blackface Meets Rickyface


Let's recap. Last February, 35-year old photos emerged of what appeared to be Virginia's governor, Ralph Northam, in blackface at a frat party standing next to someone in a Ku Klux Klan robe. The governor apologized for wearing blackface at the party, then later said he didn't recall attending that party in blackface but did... Continue Reading →

A Virginia Lineup


What the hell, Virginia? When did we become Mississippi? No offense, Mississippi, but yeah. Every southern state has an ugly history when it comes to racism. There are still people in the south fighting the Civil War. My former editor of The Free Lance-Star, Ed Jones (no relation) used to tell a joke that here... Continue Reading →

Hate In The Old Dominion


There are only two governor races this November, New Jersey and Virginia. The Democrats have a lock on New Jersey, but the one in Virginia is a contest.
