Welcome to the January 8, 2007 edition of Virginia Blog Carnival. I'm sorry that it's rather generic this week, but I am unfortunately pressed for time, since I'm going down to Orlando on Wednesday to help out my parents for a couple of days.
Kilo reminds us that it has been one year since the Sago mine disaster... does anyone know how Mr. McCloy, the only survivor, is doing?
Alton presents Beannachtaí an tSéasúir - Greetings Of The Season posted at I'm Not Emeril, which was supposed to be in for the Christmas carnival, but was a little late.
The gracious Leslie Carbone sent in three entries: "It Takes a Hotel Manager?" about parental discipline; "Please... The Man is Being Executed" about the ... lack of professionalism in Saddam's execution; and "So Much for Bipartisianship" which criticizes Congressional Democrats for elbowing Republicans out of the legislative process.
HDW presents Racism as defined by WSU posted at High Desert Wanderer, saying, "seems that the quality of education at Washington State University hasn't changed since I attended." HDW also submitted Design Review - Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler. HDW has a series where he's been reviewing the CSS/HTML of various blogs, and it's a good nuts-n-bolts look at blog design.
Douglas T presents On writing posted at Thoughts on Design. Douglas also sent in Setting graphic design free posted at Thoughts on Design, saying, "My most recent thoughts on design." I like Doug's blog - it's very informative!
Adam presents The Dawn of a New Era of Scholarship posted at Sophistpundit.
Jon Swift presents Who Needs Books? posted at Jon Swift, saying, "For a long time I have been saying that actually reading books is overrated. Now I have an unlikely ally: librarians in Fairfax County."
Nina Smith presents Do second-parents have legal rights? Let's ask Heather Poe posted at Queercents, saying, "Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus, but even he can't make Heather Poe the legal parent of Mary Cheney's baby in this commonwealth."
Charlie Fugate presents 2008 Ruminations posted at Good Sense. Charlie also adds GOP in 21st Century: Back to The Future saying, "First in a series of "planks" for a renewed GOP conservatism." For a third entry, Charlie evaluates the GOP with State of the GOP-As I See It.
Michael Oliver presents Dogwood Pundit: The Media And The Macabre. posted at Dogwood Pundit.
Xyba presents The Impass in Richmond posted at Once More Into the Breach, saying, "Rather that find some workable solution or accept that throwing money at it will be insufficient to remedy the problem, he wants to combine the two houses of the General Assembly to grease the grooves of the legislative process."
J.C. Wilmore presents Why Republicans will be excluded from power in the 110th Congress posted at The Richmond Democrat.
Thanks so much to everyone who sent in entries. Please let me know if you'd like to host a future Carnival!
