I was on WJLA.com looking to see if there were any more details on the shooting and hostage situation in Alexandria when I saw this. I read it several times and couldn’t quite figure out what that meant. He was mad she was defending his son? Is she a lawyer? Turns out he shot her after she interfered in his beating on HER son. I guess “crazed PG county jackass sent to prison” isn’t enough detail for the average news reader.
Don: Well I used to say something in my profile about not quite being a "tinker, tailor, soldier, or spy" but Tom stole that for our about us page, so I guess I'll have to find another way to express that I am a man of many interests. Hmm, guess I just did. My tastes run the gamut from sophomoric to Shakespeare and in my "professional" life I've sold things, served beer, written software, and carried heavy objects... sometimes at the same place. It's that range of loves and activities that makes it so easy for me to love DC - we've got it all.

Thanks for knocking on PG. Was that really necessary? You just had to add that in there for a little flavor? This blog is painfully bourgie.

Um, it was a PG country jury that convicted him. It’s not a knock, it’s a fact of the case.
