The AFP on WREL: Snow and politics
AFP editor Chris Graham talks Virginia news and politics on WREL’s “Online with Jim Bresnahan.”
The segment begins with … snow. Chris, for one, has had enough of it, though schoolkids aren’t seeming to mind the unexpected days off. Administrators will come SOL time this spring, Chris points out.
The conversation then turns to politics. The 2011 General Assembly session is nearing its midway point. Chris takes us through some of the hot-button issues before predicting a quiet end to the session as legislators prepare their re-election bids for the fall.
The AFP on WREL: Around the ACC
AFP editor Chris Graham talks sports on WREL’s “Online with Jim Bresnahan.”
This week’s segment begins with a look at Virginia Tech and Virginia as they work their way through the ACC. Chris thinks the Hokies might be getting back on track, though Jim says the pressure is on with the conference likely to get only three or at the most four teams into the NCAA Tournament.
The Cavs have had an up-and-down season, but last weekend’s win over Georgia Tech could be something to build on as the midway point of the ACC season nears.
A quick glance at JMU and the local high-school basketball scene wraps us up.

David Reynolds | Baked brains
It was a quiet week in Lake Wobegon, Minn. Ditto for Rockbridgeland, Va. Except here the summer sun was hotter than up north. It may have baked a few brains. How else can you explain our local happenings? We all know that when you spend too much time in the noon day sun the mind can play some strange tricks. With the summer winds blowing in and the college kids having blown out, we end up with too much time on our hands. And just like our kids we create mischief.
