You Don’t Have a Friend in Me

29, Dec 2009

When it comes to Facebook, what’s more important: Having a large network of “friends” whom you don’t know? Or a smaller well-connected group of individuals with whom you have real relationships?

Facebook, Twitter Aren’t One in the Same

5, Sep 2009

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been using the Twitter application for Facebook to automatically publish my tweets as my status updates.

Don’t Exploit Metro’s Deadly Accident

23, Jun 2009

Leave it to a liberal to turn Metro’s tragic accident into a political vendetta. Nine people died and 80 were injured in Monday’s collision on the Red Line, a few stops north of where I work.

My regular readers probably wonder where I’ve been. While, if you’re following me on Twitter, you already know how busy I’ve been for the past week.
My best friend Dom visited from Upstate New York, I was swamped with 2009 budget stuff at Heritage, Missy and I went to a [...]

The Republican Revolt Continues

10, Aug 2008

Monday marks the seventh day of the House GOP protest over high energy prices. Republicans are planning to continue the revolt on the House floor until the Democratic National Convention, meaning you have two more weeks to witness this historic moment with your own eyes.
I’ve been on the floor each of the six days, providing [...]
