monoblogue —
Authority: 430
This month’s WCRC meeting featured a speaker well known to most of those attending, State Senator Richard Colburn. But first we had to take care of the usual business, and for the most part it went as normal (our secretary was again missing, and he had the copy of the minutes.) One item on the treasurer’s report ...1 day ago -
Rutledge joins chorus questioning stimulus numbers

Authority: 430
Here’s an easy one, but you need to start someplace. It may anger the voters in Maryland’s 18th Congressional District but that’s the price paid for speaking out. Oh wait, Maryland has only 8 Congressional districts? Well then, carry on Jim: Republican U.S. Senate candidate Jim Rutledge today called for a ...2 days ago -
AFP meeting wrapup

Authority: 430
Since the Maryland GOP made mention of various local chapters of Americans for Prosperity in their convention reports last week, this may perk up their ears when they find out what’s going on locally. On Thursday the Wicomico AFP chapter met with about 40 people in attendance. They had a jam-packed speaker schedule ...2 days ago -
Making plans for the Governor’s office

Authority: 430
Since he can’t get in to measure the drapes in Martin O’Malley’s office, I guess this will have to do for Pat McDonough as an announcement he’s in the race. Perhaps I missed the formal affair where he threw his hat in the ring for Governor? Anyway, it’s good to know right where he stands on the issues. Try ...5 days ago -

As most of my faithful readers know, last weekend marked the occurrence of our most recent state convention .

Don’t call it a comeback…
Maryland Politics Today —
Authority: 116
Don’t call it a hiatus either…well at least not a complete one. Let me explain the inactivity. A large part of it is due to the fact that I am now attending Towson University. The other part is due to Comcast really gumming the works on my internet connection when I first moved to Baltimore. The other ...6 days ago -
Slicing up the Shore

Authority: 430
Yesterday I posted on the gerrymandering “silver spring” of the Swing State Project proposed to wipe away the GOP from Maryland’s Congressional delegation. He (or she) also did the same for Maryland’s General Assembly. At the moment the composition of the House of Delegates is 104 Democrats, 36 ...1 week ago -

monoblogue —
Authority: 430
I’ve held this in my back pocket for a few days but since the second-to-last post featured GOP candidate for Governor Larry Hogan and the subject isn’t exactly stale, I’ll run it now. Hey, it even ties in with what I said at the county’s budget meeting last week. So I excerpt from the Hogan release: Larry ...1 week ago -

No Pr0n Policy at UMD
Epsilon Clue —
Authority: 115
A while back, I mentioned that a student group at the University of Maryland was going to show a porn flick . A state legislator got bent out of shape at the thought that 18-20-year-olds might be thinking about sex, and threatened to cut off state funding to the university. Eventually, the university was told to come ...1 week ago -

Well, we tried as best we could but the bad guys prevailed 220-215. Not that I didn’t expect Pelosicare to pass, but what pisses me off is they got the fig leaf of bipartisanship because of one Republican voting “yes” – Rep.
