Tim Joins The DC Examiner Full Time!

"The Washington Examiner announced today that Timothy P. Carney, who has been writing a weekly op-ed column for the paper, was joining the staff full time to oversee a new K Street page.

Carney will write a lobbying column for the weekly page, which will make its debut in two weeks. He also will continue his Friday op-ed column.

“Most reporters write about how much money lobbyists make and what great access they have,” said Stephen G. Smith, editor of The Washington Examiner. “Tim writes about how they affect, and sometimes distort, the legislative process.”

Carney comes to The Examiner from Eagle Publishing, where he succeeded Robert Novak as editor of the Evans-Novak Political Report and served as a book editor at Regnery Publishing. He is also the author of the 2006 book “Big Ripoff: How Big Business and Big Government Steal Your Money.”

“As readers of his Examiner column know, Tim uses documents, databases and good old shoe-leather reporting to follow the money, map relationships, and tot up costs and benefits,” Smith said."

She'll Hate Me Later...But Too Cute To Resist.



Lucy is eagerly in the beginning stages of potty training and very much into brushing her teeth ... and sometimes they happen around the same time in the morning ... before I can get a fresh diaper on her ... and sometimes I just happen to bring my camera up with the new diaper.

April 1, 1920 - January 6, 2009
Our "Pop" leaves behind his wife, 8 children, 33 grandchildren, and 26 great-grandchildren. 
 Rest in peace, we all love you so dearly.
I thank you, God, that I have lived
In this great world and known its many joys ...
I thank you, too, that there has come to me
A little sorrow and sometimes defeat.
A little heartache and the loneliness
That comes with parting and the word "goodbye."
Dawn breaking after dreary hours of pain
When I discovered that night's gloom must yield
And morning light break through to me again.
Because of these and other blessings poured
Unmasked upon my wondering head,
Because I know that there is yet to come
An even richer and more glorious life,
I thank you God that I have lived." 
(Elizabeth, Countess of Craven)
