Three “New Contributors” to BD

JR Hoeft | April 21, 2008 | Comments (7)

I’m pleased to welcome to the Bearing Drift team Jane Dudley from Conservativa, Chris Obenshain (Old Zach) from SST, and Shaun Kenney from his namesake blog.

They join Brian Kirwin, Norm Leahy, Georgie Gale, The Squeaky Wheel, and myself at offering news, analysis, insight, and perspective on the goings-on all across the Virginia political spectrum from a conservative point of view.

Along with other groups such as the Jeffersoniad and the Old Dominion Blog Alliance, Virginia possesses a wealth of talented bloggers on the right. BD is pleased to be a part of and continue that tradition.

We’re glad you’re here, Chris! As for the podcast thing…training sessions will begin a 5 a.m. tomorrow with calisthenics and a four-mile run. I mentioned that to you, right?

Meanwhile Squeaky Wheel is being touted on Virgine Beach Dems as a new contributor. During the announcement they played up his contributions to Bearing Drift to bolster his standing.

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!!!
