According to the Richmond Times-Dispatch.
I’m assuming he’s getting the chair, he chose the chair the last time he was scheduled for execution. If, for some reason, he changes his mind, he’ll get the liquid styrofoam instead.

Not really, but one can dream.
The Supreme Court of the United States has declined to hear Paul Warner Powell’s case, so his execution should be scheduled (again) shortly.
Special thanks to commenter “Fred” for keeping me up-to-date on his case’s status at the Supreme Court in the comments section of the Paul Warner Powell page of [...]

A month ago Dave Marsden was saying that he was living in the 37th district, now he’s saying he will “eventually” move to the district.
In this vain, I’m hereby announcing my intention to run against State Senator Edd Houck (D-17th). I don’t live in the district currently and I more than likely won’t be in [...]

Why? Because apparently the prosecutor isn’t supposed to refute the defendant’s bizarre arguement that the prosecution is supposed to do the defense’s job.

Looks like those crazy teabaggers are trying to draft Virgil Goode according to The WaPo.
It wouldn’t surprise me at all if Goode decided to run since he’s been using his campaign money to pay for campaign stuff through September (the end of the last reporting period), including phone and internet service, web hosting, and photography. [...]

Because you look like a dork when you do. And this is a tip that Laurence Verga needs to take to heart:
ALBEMARLE COUNTY, VA – It is clear from the State Senator’s [Robert Hurt's] finance report that he is the preferred choice of Richmond lobbyists and Washington insiders. However, their support will not buy the [...]

WUSA9: Virginia Nursing Shortage May Be Less Than Expected
And as for all engineered crises (or should that be crisi?), it’s just another attempt to grow the size of government:
