Here are a few Virginia news headlines, political and otherwise, for Thursday, January 26.

Senate panel backs gun buy limit repeal *Liberal, conservative urge sunset on Va. tax credits *Cuccinelli asks Va. Supreme Court to intervene in redistricting suit *Moderate Mutiny ("Former governor wants to impose Virginia "talent economy" on Washington; increase bipartisanship.") *UMW grad hired by Webb *Tow truck drivers to photograph vehicles before towing in Fairfax *New Tool Helps Track Snowplowing *Newest Virginia Beach teachers are warned: Layoffs are possible *Ovechkin's temper tantrum fit for a kid P.S. Also see When Fact Checkers Go Bad...Very Bad, as PolitiFiction...er, PolitiFact fouls up again. Guys, is it really THAT hard to simply fact check a statement like "created x jobs in x months?" It either IS true or it is NOT true? Sheesh.)
