Another routine edict has been cast at the court house. It’s that proverbial act known as no-fault divorce, where equal parenting time gets less scrutiny than applying for a Virginia fishing license.

I found your editorial, “A fighting chance for Obama in Virginia?” quite interesting.

“Bad officials are elected by good citizens who do not vote”
— George Jean Nathan

A marriage of 50 years and the lessons it can teach us.

Del. Jeff Frederick comments on the recent special session on transportation.

Can-do candidates become can’t-do presidents.

Gray responds to readers comments.

The wrong thinking behind Warner’s push to support alternative energy.

If one were to peruse the dictionary, one would find a definition of president as “the chief officer of an organization usually entrusted with the direction and administration of its policies.” 

I am a 17-year-old caucasian girl who has lived in Manassas my whole life.

Saturday’s article about DeCarol Davis, the first black female valedictorian of the Coast Guard Academy, who by the way, graduated from a local high school, Forest Park, did not make it to the front page of the Potomac News

It is fairly clear that in the near future there will not be enough gas and oil to supply the world’s “need.” However, instead of addressing this problem head-on, we are trying to build more roads (to “solve” traffic gridlock) and to search for new fields of gasoline and oil (to “decrease” price of fuel at the pumps).

Joe Angsten should not be lecturing Democrats about “competence” in government and his resistance to Obama’s call for “change.”

All right, full disclosure here. I taught English in public high school for 32 years before retiring five years ago. More often than not, when I met people for the first time, especially when I was teaching, their comment on learning what I did for a living was, “I’d better watch my grammar.” Sometimes if I was in a smart mood (which I am most of the time) I would tell them I wasn’t issuing any grammar tickets that day.

I wish to thank Dr. Bukzin D.D.S. and staff for helping me in a time of need. 

Planned Parenthood met at the Chinn Park Regional Library on Tuesday. A small group of picketers assembled outside to protest.

Mourning a road bill.

Much is being made of the cost of the recent General Assembly special session where transportation solutions would have helped residents of Prince William County, and I agree that it is absolutely unconscionable for our representatives to take $120,000 in taxpayer money to accomplish nothing on this all-important issue.

Mr. Brothers III, have you ever heard of “Grandfather Clause?”

Over the years I have read with occasional interest the rantings and ravings written by Mr. Vic Poillucci. I had hoped that aging would have produced better results but his recent letter berating the patriotism of Barack Obama is hog-wash and a bird-call — cheep, cheep and cheep.     

The front page story “Reaction Positive to Webb’s G.I. Bill” in the July 2 Potomac News was a fitting tribute to Sen. Jim Webb, who worked diligently for 18 months to get the bill through Congress.

When I read that Lang Lang would auction off his red Steinway grand piano to raise money for an earthquake relief fund, my first thought was this: How the heck did a panda learn to play piano?

It looks as if Virginia might actually be a contender for influence in the presidential election this November. Only once since 1952 has this state voted for a Democratic presidential candidate, but it appears that Sen. Barack Obama wants to make it twice.

How absurd it is for the Prince William County Sewer Authority to even mention cutting the water off or expecting payment for their not-so-bright mistake.

Sandi Teets sets the record straight on her name and location.

DeCarol Davis deserved to be on the front page of the newspaper

While the media has been covering the student loan “crisis,” advertising the fears of the banking industry that they will be put out of business by the newest market and government trends, few people are continuing to discuss issues from the student borrower side.

Kicking Russia out of the G-8 would be a bad idea.

These are some of the online reader reactions to an article about a protest of Planned Parenthood held outside of Chinn Park Regional Library on Tuesday.
