I started this blog to talk about local politics, specifically Norfolk politics. It is impossible
to talk about Norfolk in a vacuum, so you'll also find some regional, state, and national politics. And sometimes, no politics at all.
The inspiration for this blog comes from one of Virginia's most respected forefathers:
"I know no safe depositary of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves; and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them, but to inform their discretion by education. This is the true corrective of abuses of constitutional power."
Thomas Jefferson, 1820

I hope you had a wonderful Christmas Vivian!
“2. Do you happen to know the name of the current Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives?”
Where are the “YES” and “NO” options?
Anyway, 12 for 12.
Being a news junkie really pays.

Thanks for the test…I “guessed” on the Dow b/c I have been lookiing at it infrequently…and I got lucky so I was 12 for 12….
buzz…buzz…
12 for 12!
Another 12. Vivian, are still sampling the egg nog?
You bet
Y’all need to join me 
12/12. But I was forewarned about the Dow Jones question. And I love that 30 to 49 age category — that sure covers a lot of ground.
12/12. I guess the lesson from all of the scores posted here is either:
a. only people who score well are willing to post their score.
or
b. people who blog about the news read the news.
Lumen – whatcha wanna bet it’s a?
12 for 12
