I am back from the GOP state convention. A few thoughts (just mine): Governor McDonnell had an excellent video to speak to the convention (The Governor is apparently in Europe on a trade mission); well put together. Bishop E. W. Jackson gave a stirring speech to endorse George Allen as the winner of the US […]

The CEOs of at least six Canadian oil companies or subsidiaries — in town on a regular annual visit ostensibly to talk about broader issues affecting Canadian oil […]

President Obama, as most president’s are expected to do, had a ceremony honoring America’s Military Veteran’s for Veteran’s Day on Monday. (I am not sure why he chose Monday November 7, 2011 as Veteran’s Day is actually on November 11, 2011. Perhaps he was busy that day.) It is a known fact that many on […]
