Here are a few Virginia (and national) news headlines, political and otherwise, for Monday, Inauguration Day, January 21. We're all justifiably proud and happy that we helped reelect Barack Obama. We're also incredibly relieved that we dodged the bullet of what would have been an utterly ruinous, disastrous presidency of Willard "Mitt" Romney. Other than being wrong on pretty much everything, remember that Romney was the guy who actually MOCKED the concept of trying to save our planet from ruinous global warming. That alone should have disqualified him, and the fact that it didn't says a LOT about humanity - nothing good. Meanwhile, I strongly urge President Obama to make his second term's #1 focus stopping the "rising of the seas" - the very thing the utterly cynical, sociopathic Romney mocked - and kickstarting a clean energy revolution. There's absolutely ZERO to waste.
