    Your bitterness is showing, especially in the physical descriptions of McDonnell. Let me ask you this - will you or Creigh Deeds be the first one on the cover of GQ?

  2. Groveton, I was inartful with that one and apologize for it. Period. I meant no personal offense. Now, having said that–there will be a physical look change come January. There always is with a new administration, be it Democrat or Republican. Always there is. I don’t know if George Allen will make a comeback, but I guarantee you his boots will. Also, watch for an upsurge in red neckties and flag lapel pins. I am being medicated for bitterness. And no, I couldn’t make the cover of Ragpicker Magazine. And, for the record, I wish Governor-Elect McDonnell and his administration the very best going forward. You, too, for that matter. Merry Christmas. BKD

    You are a great writer. Keep it up. I am sure McDonnell has heard the plastic hair comment before!

    I am hoping to be on the cover of a major national magazine next month - Field and Stream.

    Merry Christmas to you too, brother.

    God bless America and God bless the troops in Afghanistan and Iraq. Obama has had a tough first year. Last night he had to face his biggest decision so far. He made the right decision despit getting flak from his own party. On the Kennedy - Carter scale, it was pure JFK.

    Keep up the good work Mr. President.
