Here are a few Virginia news headlines, political and otherwise, for Saturday, August 4. Also, check out President Obama's weekly address, in which he "tells our Olympic and Paralympic competitors that the American people could not be prouder of them, and thanks them for reminding us that we are one people, and by working together we can achieve great things."

*Poor Mitt, We Know How He Feels (If Dems talked like right wingnuts do about Barack Obama, they'd say crap like "Mitt Romney isn't really a Mormon. He's an atheist who only went along with his father's faith so he could duck the Vietnam draft...")
*Obama, Romney spar, from afar, over taxes
*More upheaval on tap for Va. Republicans?
*Kaine touts 'all of the above' energy policy; DCCC goes after Rigell in attack ad
*Hansen: Climate change worse than we thought
*McDonnell: Fix health care once by fixing it right ("Virginia is leading reform innovation")
*Goodlatte campaign manager says lawmaker will debate Schmookler ("Schmookler said he would prefer a series of debates in the 6th District's major population centers of Harrisonburg, Lynchburg and Roanoke.")
*Big stars descend on Virginia for busy campaign Saturday
*New lanes open permanently on Va. side of Capital Beltway between Wilson Bridge, Springfield
*Va. man appeals to Supreme Court over DUI conviction
*Cuccinelli slams door on weekends in jail for felons
*Region's congressmen go on recess miles apart on looming 'fiscal cliff'
*Dulles Rail board called 'dysfunctional' (Or "corrupt," or both, you decide.)
*With merger talks under way with W&M, what's in it for EVMS?
*Gabby lands in the record books
*Nationals, Marlins split doubleheader
