  1. Let me see if I understand this, it is ok for Obama to wear out his 747 running all over the world taking untold amounts of people along, and having the public pay for it and on the other hand have a governor use a state aircraft within the state and it makes news. Shows the democrats for what they are in complaining about one while turning a blind eye towards another.

Doug Thompson published his first story and photo at age 11 -- a newspaper article about racism and the Klan in Prince Edward County, VA, in 1958. From that point on, he decided to become a newspaperman and did just that -- reporting news and taking photos full-time at his hometown paper, becoming the youngest full-time reporter at The Roanoke Times in Virginia in 1965, and spent most of the past 58+ years covering news around the country and the globe. After a short sabbatical as a political operative in Washington in the 1980s, he returned to the news profession. Today, he is a contract reporter/photojournalist for Lee Enterprises, shoots news and sports video for area TV stations, and owns Capitol Hill Blue.
