Interesting juxtaposition: Marshall Newman in the Pilot
I guess my fellow Hampton Roads bloggers Insider and hrconservative must have had a page missing from their newspapers today :lol:. Both of them chose to focus on the opinion piece written by Victoria Cobb, executive director of the Family Foundation, and a supporter of the Marshall Newman amendment. There is a reason they call … Continue reading Interesting juxtaposition: Marshall Newman in the Pilot
Quick hits
Lamont wins Ned Lamont is the Democratic nominee for Senate in Connecticut and incumbent Joe Lieberman is off running as an independent. I was surprised at the lack of TV coverage last night.

I mean, couldn't the reporter have bothered to bone up just a little on the issues before she covered the meeting? How about just reading the amendment?
