http://larison.org/2006/08/16/down-with-allen/ n. the principle of good order "Observe the strange inversion of all order and sense! Dignity debased; how vilely is the function of a consul prostituted!" ~The Craftsman Tue, 22 May 2012 20:29:55 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.4 http://larison.org/2006/08/16/down-with-allen/#comment-4417 Wed, 16 Aug 2006 23:24:42 +0000 http://larison.org/2006/08/16/down-with-allen/#comment-4417 I don't typically make the sort of endorsement I made for Webb, since I generally see little point in taking sides between the two worthless parties, but I get the sense that Webb represents my kind of America and has a real respect for his ancestors that is simply lacking in a lot of Americans. It occurs to me lately that George Allen doesn't even know what the question is. Of course, I don't live in Virginia either and have no direct stake in the matter, but my experience during my college days there give me the impression that Jim Webb represents the state better and would represent it better in the Senate.

But since I'm not a Virginian, it's a theoretical question not a relevant one for me...
