No commentary necessary. (WARNING: there is vulgar content in the linked story)

IT'S VIRGINIA!! NOT POTOMAC, NOT CHESAPEAKE!!!!!!!

One of the most irrelevant phrases in 20th Century Virginia political history was:

"The Virginia Presidential Primary"

Its needlessness continued into 2004, but......WHAT? COULD IT BE???

The Virginia Presidential Primary will actually MATTER when we go to the polls tomorrow! WE FINALLY MATTER!! HEY VIRGINIANS! GROUP HUG!!!!

So, what do I hear beginning late last Tuesday night as Super Tuesday finally came to a close??

"Next week is the Potomac Primary!"

WHAT??!!?? THE WHAT??!!??

So, suddenly, the name "Virginia" had been replaced with a nearby body of water. Later on, we are renamed the Chespeake Primary.

Potomac. Chesapeake.

I know some PR lackey in a backroom at some network or blog thought he/she was BRILLIANT coming up with this "title". Except for one little problem.....

I can't speak for those in D.C. and Maryland, but I am INSULTED by having my commonwealth's FINALLY MEANINGFUL Presidential primary be called by something other than the word "Virginia".

So, a message I sent to Anderson Cooper on his blog tonight now goes to the whole media, as if they care about me. :)

"POTOMAC TUESDAY". That's a cool title! Then you have to tell everyone where the primaries are located! For God's sake, you guys assume everyone in Nebraska, Indiana, Wyoming, and San Francisco already know what "Potomac" or "Chespeake" even means in this context!!!

"POTOMAC TUESDAY". Is it too late to change the graphics for tomorrow's coverage?

I should be the guy on the right.......

He's my age. I wanted to be anchor of the CBS Evening News when I was five.

Sorry, Anderson. Move out. You're in my space!! Especially now that Erica's there! She's so cool!

I'm the 360 man, not Anderson Cooper!!! (blog catch-up, part two)

So, it starts out like any Tuesday with outpatient surgery scheduled for the wife. Up early, to the hospital, she goes in, she comes out, she doesn't throw up (Thank God!! She gets big-time ill on anesthesia), and we're home by 10:15.

Procedure goes flawlessly, Mom is really groggy, is in pain, and is nauseated.

I log on to my work computer, and within the half hour, I discover an employee in my department has resigned.

Now, I'm in pain, mentally nauseated, and I wished to be groggy.

So began a day of....

1) Taking care of wifey (meds, soup, crackers, etc....)

2) Damage control at work, by working from home.

13 hours later, I signed off the work computer, and, though still pained, Ms. Witham was feeling better and no longer nauseated.

As for me? I felt better, much more mentally stable, and enjoying the medication that made me feel that way. :) :)

So, my day is spent in the computer chair. 180 degree turn to wifey, 180 degree turn to computer. Stay in chair, take care of the world.

Glad it worked out that way, because I'm still dealing with traveling far from home, so I'm not really ready to spend a week in Turkey. So, Anderson, you can keep that assignment.

But, I'll fight ya for the "360" label. :)
