Waldo Jaquith: The legislature?s most prolific copatrons.

June 10, 2009
The more time that I spend mapping the social relationships of legislators via their copatroning habits, the more fascinated that I am by this mechanism of exploring the General Assembly. It really is a powerful tool. (To see one of the ways I?m using it on Richmond Sunlight now, check out HB1721 , SB1436 , or HB2482 , where you can see a graph indicating the average partisan position of each bill?s cosponsors.) Here?s a less thoughtful usage of this data, but no less interesting: a listi...

I'm Surrounded By Idiots: I need video of this: Bobby Orrock got booed down by the House of Delegates.

March 1, 2009
Follow-up to my previous post . From The Washington Post : This year, there were echoes ? distant perhaps ? of Webster vs. Clay as delegates debated clotheslines. The energy-saving bill, sponsored by Sen. Linda T. ?Toddy? Puller (D-Fairfax), would have prevented rule-happy homeowner associations from banning clotheslines. Taking aim at the bill as if wielding a rug-beater, Del. Robert D. ?Bobby? Orrock Sr. (R-Caroline) said Northern Virginians might regret seeing clotheslines strung f...

I'm Surrounded By Idiots: Does Bobby Orrock think his district ?looks like a West Virginia subdivision??

February 26, 2009
Apparently so : The House of Delegates yesterday killed a bill regarding ?wind energy drying devices.? Sounds fancy?until you realize that a ?wind energy drying device? is, essentially, a clothesline. [...] First, delegates amended the bill to make it apply only to community associations in Northern Virginia. That prompted Del. Bobby Orrock, R-Caroline, to join the debate. Orrock said the policy should be uniform statewide and not apply just in Northern Virginia. He said that i...

The Contemporary Conservative: Bill Bolling CARPET BOMBS Patrick Muldoon's campaign with masterful show of grassroots support

November 30, 2008
Bill Bolling CARPET BOMBS Patrick Muldoon's campaign with masterful show of grassroots support Posted by MAXIMUS Incumbent Lt. Governor Bill Bolling just started carpet bombing Patrick Muldoon's misguided candidacy to challenge him for the Republican nomination for the office of Lt. Governor. In a press release sent out yesterday, Bolling indicates he has locked down the support of the conservative grassroots movement and elected officals throughout the state. The carpet bombing of Patric...
