Like of lot of central London the area has had its ups and downs....

Deeds, a state senator from Bath County, has been the candidate on everyone's lips in the final days of the Democratic primary between Deeds, Brian Moran and Terry McAuliffe. Deeds has made big moves in the primary recently, but momentum means very little if his supporters don't get out to the polls....

The Wall Street Journal may be getting more expensive. The business paper has been making headlines of late for growing its revenues behind a pay wall while other papers are bleeding ad revenue. But is the Journal the exception to the rule, or just ahead of the curve of paying more money for content? Speaking at the Digiday: Networks conference in New York, Brian Quinn, the Journal's vice president...

Every time I've stepped over the Big River I've been hit by the " Gary West " phenomenon and now it's starting to hit my In Box too. So far this Democratic candidate for the 94th House district is doing everything right! Peninsula folks can't stop talking about this guy who hopes to bump off current Republican Delegate Glenn Oder. This includes one Pat Murphy, who in 2007 jumped from the...

The ADP National Employment Report covers "nonfarm private employment" and comes out a bit in advance of Bureau of Labor Statistics data. The current report revises upward by 54,000 the estimate of job losses in March-to-April job loss, and estimates April-to-May job loss at 532,000. So it appears that, even before the massive job losses that should follow the bankruptcy of GM, the U.S. economy...

First, it started with rock songs that cultural moron John Miller thought the best "conservative rock song" of all time.
