  • After the Storm
    Nov 13, 2009  - This weekend in the wake of the November Nor’easter when the winds have settled and the sun has begun to peek through the gray clouds, Virginians will step out of their front doors into debris-filled yards to inspect the impact of the heavy wind and rain on their property. Many will be faced with th... More
  • The Face of a Hero
    Oct 30, 2009  - Most of us grow up with a desire to look into the face of our favorite hero. Heroes give us strength and inspiration to persevere through the tough challenges of life. They personify for us the richness and potential of life itself. They show us not what life is, but what it could be.   Early on ... More
  • Pink Ribbons
    Oct 19, 2009  - I came to know Margaret Brothers when I was a young attorney, fresh out of law school.  Margaret spoke her mind cautiously, voicing her opinion only when necessary and only in sincerity, a quality that was rare then, and even more rare today.  I remember bringing my wife-to-be in to meet my coworker...

  • Ronnie’s Gym and Window Tinting
    Oct 9, 2009  - Someone forwarded me an email the other day with the subject line “Ronnie’s Gym and Window Tinting.” I scrolled down the email to see a photo of a real brick-and-mortar store with a bright yellow sign advertising – sure enough – a gym and window tinting service all in one. Underneath the photo, the ... More
  • Wins in Healthcare
    Sep 18, 2009  - A poll I came across this week noted that most Americans now want Congress to do nothing rather than to pass the proposed healthcare plan, a statistic that is interesting considering that most Americans simultaneously believe that something needs to be done to address problems within our healthcare ...

  • Remembering 9-11
    Sep 11, 2009  - This week, I stood in Statuary Hall among a sea of other legislators in a ceremony to remember the events of September 11, 2001. As I stood in the great hall shoulder to shoulder with Republicans and Democrats, I was reminded of the myriad of emotions that were flooding the nation as a result of tha... More
  • A Prerequisite for Success
    Sep 4, 2009  - “What about this one?” A woman was pointing at a notebook on the shelf, while her daughter stood next to her carrying a basket of school supplies.   “Uh-uh,” the middle school-aged girl shook her head in disgust, perhaps out of honest dislike for the solid green notebook, but more likely out of p...

  • Boiling Point
    Aug 28, 2009  - Grocery shopping on a day with temperatures bobbing into the 90s and the air thick with humidity is ordinarily out of the question.  Nevertheless, the bare refrigerator coupled with my outspoken stomach had outmatched good sense.  Having filled my cart and lingered a bit longer in the cold sting of ...

  • A New (Golden) Age in Healthcare
    Aug 21, 2009  - It began as a one-room laboratory on Staten Island in 1887.  Its mission was to examine passengers on arriving ships for the signs of epidemic-causing diseases such as cholera and yellow fever. At that time, life expectancy was only 47 years and taxpayer financing of medical research was considered ... More
  • Just Read the Bill
    Jul 30, 2009  - Could you read 2,501 pages in 24 hours? In the unlikely case that you are considering whether you could, let’s put it into perspective – 2,501 pages is almost double the size of a paperback copy of War and Peace. It’s over three times the size of the last book in the popular Harry Potter series. It’... More
