Between and Rock and an Oppressive, Democratic Place
Nothing makes you feel good about your state like the Wall Street Journal pointing at the collective heads of knuckle we call state legislators and laughing. Politicians in Annapolis are scratching their heads wondering what happened to all those chain smokers who were supposed to help balance Maryland’s budget. Last year the legislature doubled the [...]
Yes, Maryland Drivers Stink. But I Can Help!
This surprises me not at all. A survey commissioned by General Motors Acceptance Corp. ranks Maryland motorists near the bottom when it comes to the knowledge of driving laws. In the Atlanta-based financial giant’s fourth annual National Drivers Test, Kansas placed first at 84 percent for most knowledgeable drivers, Maryland ranks No. 42 — and [...]
Governor O’Malley vs. Representative Democracy
This is a really bad idea. Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley signed into law yesterday a measure that would circumvent the Electoral College by awarding the state’s electoral votes to the presidential candidate who wins the most votes nationwide. There are plenty of very good reasons the Electoral College exists. I hope they still teach them [...]

No, I’ve never heard of her or her Cabinet position until today either. She’s spent most of her career after college either as a lobbyist or as a [...]
Jimmie Around the Blogosphere
I have a couple more posts up at The Blue State Conservatives (here and here). Both are about the coming 2006 Senate race in Maryland.
The Bush Budget and 9/11 - Just Exactly The Same
Well, never let it be said that Democrats can’t rachet up the hyperbole. Baltimore Mayor Martin O’Malley yesterday compared President Bush’s proposed budget cuts to the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, saying that Bush, like the al Qaeda hijackers who crashed planes into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, has launched an assault on [...]
