Honestly, I shouldn’t even be wasting electrons on Jim Gilmore. We have dozens of mildly competitive races across the country where a candidate does not have a 21 to 1 cash-on-hand advantage. That is, for every dollar Jim Gilmore is clutching, Mark Warner has $21.06. The ratio of Gilmore Dollars to Warner Dollars is roughly [...]

Fairfax County’s schools may pass the grade with flying colors (and pass on grades that invoke sheer agony), but according to a new study by the American Lung Association, Fairfax fails at air quality, ranking 23rd in the [...]

After a slew of angry fusillades over the General Assembly bills that are coming in, I have good news.

David Poisson is in.
