Turning over a new leaf?

JR Hoeft | April 1, 2008 | Comments (3)

On Sunday, I learned that John McCain is actually a Kennedy Democrat from Sen. Joe Lieberman; so, I said to myself, if McCain can do it…so can I! Welcome to the new Bearing Drift — putting the “pro” into Virginia progressive politics!

Update: April Fools! (about us, not about what Sen. Lieberman said)

Today we also learn that there has been a dreadful bureaucratic and wasteful mistake at the Virginia Capitol and Jim Riley reports of a scuffle in Washington DC.

Oh, and the Squeaky Wheel is now writing for VB Dems.

All goals have been met.
All customers are completely satisfied.
And all pigs are fed and ready for flight.

THANK YOU for changing back your page today, LOL. I certainly did a double take yesterday when I saw “progressive” up at the top of the page!

About

Bearing Drift was established in 2004. The name comes from the relative motion of objects at sea. If there is no bearing drift, and the distance between you and the object is closing, there will be a collision; therefore, action must be taken.

Most navigation rules state that the best course of action with constant bearing and decreasing range is to alter one's course to starboard - the right! Therefore, most of us at Bearing Drift ascribe to this rule - if it looks like the ship-of-state is going to wreck, move right; you can't go wrong!!!

Sites like Bearing Drift have now become important players that candidates and voters can no longer ignore. - Ryan Nobles, NBC-12

"Bearing Drift has become an indispensable source in the campaign, providing not only pointed conservative-oriented analysis but extended podcast interviews analyzing the directions in which the campaigns are headed.
