Hard times
Posted By Max Brantley on Fri, Nov 21, 2008 at 6:43 AM
Is it just me? Or does it strike you as off-key with the hard times for a newly elected county judge, not yet in public office, to include a brand-new gas guzzler (Dodge Durango) as part of her first budget proposal? And one for her top administrator, too?
That would be state Rep. Marilyn Edwards of Fayetteville, about to become Washington County judge.

Trump immigration protest at LR: Quick and fierce
It was not even 24 hours ago that Sophia Said, director of the Interfaith Center; City Director Kathy Webb and others decided to organize a protest today of Donald Trump's executive order that has left people from Muslim countries languishing in airports or unable to come to the US at all — people with visas, green cards,a post-doc graduate student en route to Harvard, Google employees abroad, families. I got the message today before noon; others didn't find out until it was going on. But however folks found out, they turned out in huge numbers, more than thousand men, women and children, on the grounds of the state Capitol to listen to speakers from all faiths and many countries.
