One thing I didn't say in my previous post is something I don't mention often enough:
I am honored by the friends and allies I have in the Virginia blogosphere, in particular the members of the Jeffersoniad. Scott, Shaun, Jason, Mike, Leslie, Rick, Krystal, Jay, Jim, Jim, Jim and Jim, Jane, DJ - and I know I've left someone(s) out, but you get the idea. These men and women are true patriots, gracious and thoughtful, who can disagree without malice, and who are wonderfully able to explain political points without being dogmatic and arrogant.
These are men and women of character and integrity, and while we may not always agree, I know I can be confident in their honor and their friendship.
Thanks, guys. I am blessed that I'm associated with you!
