1. Nice work.
I can't stand to listen to him - he so out of touch and clueless. He's mean.

5. It's an energy company
Named for Virginia, the "Old Dominion", I believe.

"Dominion's corporate roots reach back to the Colonial era through predecessor companies that operated canal and river barging, street lighting, railways, and electric trolleys. In 1795, some dams were built along the Appomattox river for industrial use, beginning Dominion's history.
"In 1909, Dominion began operating as an investor-owned electric utility under the name Virginia Railway & Power Company. In 1925, the name was changed to the Virginia Electric and Power Company (VEPCO), and Dominion was operated as a regulated monopoly. In 1940, Dominion doubled its service territory by merging with the Virginia Public Service Company. In 1980, Dominion Resources, Inc., was incorporated as the holding company for VEPCO." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dominion_Resources

3. Wouldn't it be nice
If the employees who donated all that money to Cantor and President Obama and every other politician instead donated to the American Red Cross?
