The History of Time… or How Conservatives Came to Be Once upon a time, millions of years ago, humans existed in small pods of nomadic hunter-gatherers.  They wandered the land following food and good weather. Until, one day, some of the women folk went out in search of something a little lighter to eat than the hairy boar that always seemed to end up in the fire at the end of the day.  Lo and behold, they discovered grapes. This discovery led to...

A strange thing happened to me last week while in a cab. I was fighting waves of nausea as I listened to the DC drivel that was emanating from the cab’s speakers… complete garbage about that tired, yet somehow still effective, lie that Obama keeps spewing about “income equality”. I looked out the window in time to notice we were near the Lincoln Memorial and I remembered his famous words about a house that is divided against itself...

By the time this newsletter reaches you we will have seen, and hopefully lived through, the end of the most raucous, double-down dirty primary season that I have experienced in a long, long time.

Your vote is valuable; be discriminating if you consider using someone else’s guide when you go into the voting booth.  It is well...

The women of Village have done an incredible job during some of the most politically trying times ever and, perhaps most importantly, have left many a lasting legacy. None more so than our immediate Past...

This will be the last Newsletter from the VRW 2012-2013 Board. I just want to say it has been a pleasure and an honor to be your President these last two years. I think our club has weathered remarkably well under these horrible political conditions. But I believe that challenges can make us stronger. I hope I have injected a little fun and humor in our meetings and events to counter the frustration. I I am looking forward to following Theresa...
