You aren’t misreading things and I am not mistaken about the date. Things have been very busy for your ol’ admin lately, and Friday I just couldn’t get to around to posting the News Stand. But since the Communications Department went through all that trouble . . . might as well post it. It’s good stuff, after all. For example, Terry McAuliffe is calling for bans on lobbyists’ gifts to legislators and for spending transparency. Welcome to the club, T-Mac. We’ll comment on that in due time. The post after this, look for today’s News Stand.
