HOLLIFIELD: Media glare causes mom to go &Britney’&
My mama has gone Britney in the glare of the media spotlight.
STEGON: No better choice for Hall of Fame than Art Monk
When I was in the fourth grade my teacher assigned the students to write a letter to our favorite Redskins player the week before Super Bowl XXVI against the Buffalo Bills.
KENT: Musicians Jumping On The Country Bandwagon
I open a music magazine and Jewel is discussing her new country album, being put out on the new offshoot of Big Machine Records and how she's always been country.
BLANKENSHIP: Latest on politics and dim bulbs
From Slick Willie to Trick Hillie: Elect one and get both. How could we be so stupid- I'll vote for anybody who can beat that pair. Bill is due to reap $30 million soon from a recent financial deal and Hillary has more skeletons in their closet than Mafia bosses ever did.

KERR: The fall and rise of Virginia’s Democrats
There are times in politics when your prospects get so bad that there is nowhere to go but up. No matter how trite that may sound, it's exactly what happened to Virginia Democrats in the 1990s. They didn't face a total collapse, but rather a slow but steady decline. In politics, that can be one of the most painful experiences imaginable
HOLLIFIELD: Oh no Mom, say you didn’t
As a small town's newspaper editor, it's never pleasant when you're scooped on your own Mom.
STEGON: Bring back the Opie and Anthony Show
Some things are just stupid, kind of like when I sewed a home economics project to my shirt in the seventh grade. Other things are just dumb, kind of like anything Homer Simpson has ever said.
KENT: Keith Urban, Ambassador of Hope
There's only one thing we get from that grim sense of satisfaction of being there to watch someone rise to the top ' watching someone fall back down again. We love underdogs, but we HATE former underdogs. Some of that falls on them becoming the establishment; some of that is having a new underdog to root for. We love Britney as a fresh-faced-if-naughty teenager; we make fun of her as she goes nuclear.

With This Ring, I Freak Out
It's almost wedding season! This might not make sense to the unmarried masses. "But Paul," they say with an eyebrow reaching for the heavens, "isn't wedding season in the summer-"
Coming: County Taxes for Dog Parks-
If you're like me, when the idea first surfaced that our community of Aquia Harbour should finance and build a dog exercise park, I snorted--much as a bulldog often does-- but more in derision than habit.
If writers strike continues, what will happen to Oscar-
So how awesome were the Golden Globes- All those celebrities dressed to the nines, the great acceptance speeches and, of course, you heard about how what's his name showed up with old you know who- Oh right. None of that happened.
Kalahari not right for Virginia
Celebrate Virginia South (in Fredericksburg) is hoping to open a Kalahari water park. Are you wondering what this has to do with celebrating Virginia- So am I.
Those who doubt Brooke Point need to think twice
For those who thought the Brooke Point High School girls' basketball team would not win a fourth straight district crown, you might want to think again. After dealing Mountain View High School - their first district loss on January 11 - Brooke Point is just two games out of first place.
