Virginia Politics On DemandAbout
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!!!

The Magazine - March 2010:





Reach out? You mean the way the Republicans did who were tripping over themselves to announce how they were going to block it? Please.
The GOP strategy of sticking its fingers in its ears and ignoring reality isn’t really a sustainable one, no matter how well it’s served the party in recent years. It’ll collapse soon, hopefully before it does anymore damage to the state. The party is welcome to damage itself beyond repair, though. Couldn’t think of a more deserving lot.

Love ya man. Just hate the term “flat earth”…always have.
Regardless, you were a full two hours ahead of RK and DPVA at coming up with a basic anti-Republican message. Congrats!
JR, isn’t that funny. We actually write what we think, and it doesn’t change when the Party blasts an email.
Quite different from the Democrats’ whining on cue.
I can understand that being an itchy appellation, J.R., but I think it’s pretty apt, here. Faced with a mountain of evidence, the GOP House is choosing to ignore it all to hold tight to a belief that ultimately retards progress.
And as to the order of things with RK and DPVA, I think anyone would be hard pressed to ID any message coordination/groupthink effect on my writing. I’m pretty comfortable as a partisan Dem, but I ain’t running a reprint service
