Barack Obama, his wife, Michelle and their two children are human beings that have hearts that pump at 60 beats a minute.

A portraits of the ladies in church, who exemplify faith.

A simple thank you just isn’t enough for our fabulous 2008 Dale City Parade Committee.

I have been listening to National Public Radio in the mornings when I wake up. One subject that has been getting a lot of attention lately, both on NPR and in Washington, DC, is school reform.

Newspapers are meant to be bastions of fact in a world often swayed by rumor and innuendo.

Why do people think the media is biased in favor of Barack Obama?

Oh my, just what are the whacky, freaked-out, liberal George Bush haters going to do when he is out of office. My goodness, Mr. Remener and Mr. Chandler (who both had their wild rantings published in this paper recently), I ask you just what is going to occupy your time after January 20? 

This is in response to the letter, “No desire for your sympathy or respect,” by Ruben Pineda.

Thank you for the front page coverage of Stephanie Hopping with the American Life League, protesting Planned Parenthood’s meeting at Chinn Park Regional library.

I itch.
As I write this, I am trying mightily to keep from removing my fingers from the keyboard and raking them across the ugly, raised red patch on my shin.

Twice a year. That is how often Manassas City Police get to practice their firearm skills.
That makes us nervous.

Virginia Tech had its fingers crossed.

Your July 21 Opinion piece “Hot air fuels energy” quoted from another newspaper sounded much like a parody of the oil industry PR releases of 10 years ago.

Riddle: When is a bird sanctuary not a bird sanctuary?

For better or for worse, and probably for better, the divisive, demagogue-rich issue of immigration (illegal or otherwise) has not reared its ugly head within the national presidential campaign — at least not to the extent that it dominates the far more important issues of the economy and war.

Looking at some of the positive in Prince William County.

Obama opens up offices in Woodbridge

It was not a pretty scene last week as I laid down on an emergency room bed two days shy of my 40th birthday.

If the top 10 most effective people in Congress are Democrats, and the Democrats control both houses of Congress, why is the Congressional approval rating in single digits and falling? (I guess it’s the Republicans fault.)

Could Mr. Gary Jacobsen be any more disillusioned? Mr. Jacobsen, before you go out bashing Republican Congressmen please keep this in mind: the current Congress is controlled by the Democrats. Here are just a few examples of what the “effective” Democrats are all about.

This is in response to a recent letter by C. P. Brothers III.

If you need a reminder of why healthcare remains such a centerpiece of the fall election campaign, meet Kathryn McGinn of Woodbridge.

Ok, so at first this may sound a little silly. Action in Community Through Service will sponsor a fashion event today.
