Virginia's Libertarian candidate for governor, Robert Sarvis, called himself an alternative to the two traditional candidates for governor in a public forum on campus last week.
Civil rights trampled, procedural rules ignored and voting privileges denied and restricted. It may sound like the government of Zimbabwe or Russia, but this is instead the usual business of the Virginia General Assembly, which is now in its spring 2013 session.
I'm not sure about you, but I was more passionate about following news of Hurricane Sandy than I have ever been about this election.

Missed Obama's State of the Union address? Here are the cliffnotes:
Captivated by the first of many radiant sunrises he would see during his nearly ten-week stay near Kenjak-e Olya, Afghanistan last summer, journalism professor Robert Hodierne said that the evening sunsets were probably just as spectacular.
As I will be attending the University of Richmond in the fall as a freshman, I decided to look at the school newspaper, The Collegian. I was hoping to see more about politics and economics, but the paper is largely dedicated to the current happenings of the school. One article that stood out to me, however, was "Iran Threatens World Peace."
It may seem like a contradiction for someone who promotes inclusiveness and tolerance to speak out against honoring Victoria Cobb.
The article last week suggesting that Victoria Cobb should be denied her leadership award immediately struck me as wrong on numerous levels. Most obviously, the authors express dripping intolerance for someone they view as intolerant. In case you missed the irony, they, who champion tolerance, refuse to tolerate someone. It's easy to tolerate different views that are tame, or don't affect you, but if you truly value tolerance, the test occurs when a view comes along which really hits you hard.
Former Virginia Gov. Timothy M. Kaine returned to his career as an educator, teaching law and leadership at the University of Richmond Jan. 11, six days before his term in office ended.
In 1853 Herman Melville ended his renowned short story "Bartleby, the Scrivener" with the famous line: "Ah, Bartleby! Ah, Humanity!"

Last weekend I went downtown with a group of friends with the intention of going clubbing. Because of a plethora of club rules, we didn't get into any of the clubs we visited, and the night was a bust. I understand why such rules must be implemented in clubs; after all, loud music, scantily dressed women and drunken men can be a lethal combination. But, on this particular night, the alleged "rules" were not applied to everyone. Last weekend, I was a witness to racial profiling during my first (and last) experience at Tiki Bob's Cantina down in Shockoe Bottom.
Republican candidate Robert F. McDonnell convincingly won Virginia's gubernatorial race on Tuesday night, defeating Democrat R. Creigh Deeds and ending years of control by Democrats in the state.
For those of us who follow Virginia politics, 2009 has been a year of Republican demagoguery, fear-mongering and partisan bickering that has contributed substantially to the failure to achieve an intellectually honest debate about the issues that actually matter to Virginians, such as transportation, education and economic growth. In the forefront of this non-accomplishment stands Bill Bolling, the lieutenant governor of Virginia who -- despite his pathetic record -- is seeking re-election.
