Green building, brown bushes: Charlottesville’s colorblind environmental hypocrisy
For all its self-aggrandizing blather of being a “green city,” prioritizing a “more robust tree canopy,” and invoking environmental sustainability, practically speaking, Charlottesville city is pulling emerald wool over our eyes.
Consider CAT’s (Charlottesville Area Transit) “new green facility” (aka the green goddess)—a modern marvel of LEED-certified energy efficiency goodness. So esteemed is this advanced edifice, [...]
F-bomb Tom: Besieged Perriello cracks under “Geithner-gate” pressure
One week after The Schilling Show exposed Congressman Tom Perriello’s clandestine call for the firing of U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, the embattled Democrat has cracked.

Video exclusive: Embattled Perriello promises to intensify “fire Geithner” call
Last week, The Schilling Show exclusively broke a story which eventually went national: Democrat Congressman Tom Perriello says, “Fire Geithner!”

Breaking news: Democrat Congressman Tom Perriello says, “Fire Geithner!”
Democrat Congressman “King Tom” Perriello (VA-05) has officially called on President Barack Obama to “fire” United States Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, presumably for incompetence (see video below).
