There are only two governor races this November, New Jersey and Virginia. The Democrats have a lock on New Jersey, but the one in Virginia is a contest. Virginia went blue for Hillary Clinton in 2016, and Donald Trump still polls very low in the state. However, the state is not a solidly blue state.... Continue Reading →
Robert Lee is an announcer for ESPN. He's also Asian-American. So what, right? Mr. Lee was scheduled to cover the season opener for the University of Virginia's football team as they take on William & Mary. The brain trust at ESPN was afraid that people would connect Robert Lee, the announcer, with Civil War General... Continue Reading →

In case you haven't noticed, Obama hasn't come for your guns yet but Alison Parker's father is. I dedicate this cartoon to everyone who's first concern after the shooting and murders in Roanoke was for their gun rights. I expect a negative comment or two for this cartoon.
The shooting of a reporter and camera man from a Roanoke, VA television station shakes me as much as the shooting at Charlie Hebdo. I'm sure it shakes every journalist. I know the victims. I don't know them personally, but I know them like I know journalists. Every journalist knows them. Many of us said... Continue Reading →
Virginia's favorite homophobe is back at it again. Bob Marshall is a delegate to Virginia's General Assembly (that's like a legislature in other states, for your civics enthusiasts). In the past Mr. Marshall has tried to ban gay marriage by authoring a constitutional amendment, tried to get a judge kicked off the bench for being... Continue Reading →
