Special Commentary by Chris Graham [email protected] I’m a Unitarian – if I can say that going every so often to the local Unitarian Universalist fellowship makes me a Unitarian. Actually, those who know even just a little about Unitarians at all understand perfectly well how Unitarian that makes me. If you’ve been paying attention to…

Special Commentary by Chris Graham [email protected] I’m trying to make sense of why Senate Republicans have filibustered legislation that would rein in market speculators who have helped drive up the price of oil well beyond natural supply-and-demand forces. They do understand that it’s an election year, right? And that taking the side of Big Oil…

Stop the Presses column by Chris Graham [email protected] I don’t know about you, but whenever I’m speaking into a live microphone at a public event, you know, it’s just hard to resist the temptation to drop an f-bomb here and there. Good news – next time I’m in Norfolk, I can drop as many f-bombs…

Item by Chris Graham [email protected] The streaking Luray Wranglers have moved up to #3 in the Summer 16 rankings of summer college-baseball teams, and the just-as-hot Waynesboro Generals are not far behind. The Wranglers have won six in a row, including a win over last week’s top-ranked team in the country, the Vienna Senators of…

Story by Chris Graham [email protected] “Radical centrist.” The words don’t seem to go together, but then you listen to Mark Warner describe the concept that he’s trying to sell, and it makes a lot of sense. “We’re going to have a window in January of ’09, whether it’s McCain or Obama, and if we can’t…

Yet, their valiant efforts are too seldom recognized and appreciated. There’s no question where to begin – with a group of men who came to the rescue at…

The Top Story by Chris Graham [email protected] How’s this for a juxtaposition? Wayne Theatre Alliance chairman Bill Hausrath calls himself “an eternal optimist,” while I’m an preternaturally-pessimistic political realist. But while Hausrath is wondering aloud if the Wayne project can survive without already-promised city funding coming as expected, I think it can, or rather, that…

Fear and Loathing in Waynesboro column by Chris Graham [email protected] Let me write my 91st column on that stupid downtown stoplight, and hope that somebody actually pays attention this time. Alright, it’s not actually my 91st column, but I’m getting close – and I have to say that there’s no way I’m the only person…

Compiled by Chris Graham [email protected] WINNER: The eaglet we’re reading so much about I tell you, I’m glad to hear about the now-famous eaglet is recovering from the surgery at the Wildlife Center and all. But seriously … Are we that hard-up for anything substantive in the news business that we have to write about…

Fear and Loathing in Waynesboro column by Chris Graham [email protected] I’m trying to resist the temptation to wonder aloud if tattering on the freedom to ride a moped in Waynesboro sans chapeau is a better-to-do-with-our-time kind of thing or not. Because I didn’t realize until I read the editorial in today’s News Virginian that city…
