Bigot?
I just noticed Bill Duvall’s little tirade about my piece concerning Idaho Sen. Larry Craig. While I welcome criticism (I actually love it), I prefer that such criticism actually attack MY ARGUMENTS rather than building a straw man and attempting to tear it down.

The Sublime, the Ridiculous, and the Slumlords
Thursday’s “Tilghman Times” ran an op-ed by two local slumlords that is one of the most amusing pieces that I have ever read. I just don’t believe that the authors meant it to be funny.
Local slumlords Stuart Leer and Robert Malone claim that they, and their buddies in the Slumlord Guild (SAPOA), are victims [...]
Tilghman Times to Citizens ….
… Shut up! Your nothing but a bunch of ignorant rubes.
Three pieces, all by “Tilghman Times” personnel led me to the conclusion that this is really what the management of this paper think of the voters and taxpayers of Salisbury.
The most recent, which put everything together for me was a piece by TT Managing [...]

Now What Will Barrie’s Excuse Be?
Barrie Tilghman loves to hold press conferences and refuse to answer questions from the public or from those “scurrilous bloggers” because she is only “taking questions from the media”. Well it looks like she’ll have to come up with a better excuse now; thanks to her buddies at Miles & Stockbridge and Chief Allan [...]

Craig Says “I’m Not Gay” …
… and I could care less.
What I do care about is the blatant character assassination going on from both within the GOP and from without. Sen. Larry Craig (R-ID) was arrested back in June for allegedly soliciting sex in a men’s room of the Minneapolis Airport. Craig subsequently plead guilty to a charge [...]
Does Louise Smith Keep Her Word to the Public? A Multimedia Answer
Salisbury Council President Louise Smith ran for office telling the public that:
“I believe that Salisbury’s elected officials should be more responsive to citizens and more responsible with our tax dollars. I am equally concerned with public safety, removing contention and government in the sunshine. “

Budget Cuts, From A Liberal?
David Lublin discusses …
… Budget Cuts.
Since when have we read about budget cuts (other than to denounce them) in such Free State liberal stalwarts as “Free State Politics” and “Maryland Politics Watch“?
Could this be the beginning of a better fiscal future in the Free State?

Slumlords Siezing Pocomoke
It appears that slumlords are attempting to do to Pocomoke City what they have done to Salisbury.
The Pocomoke Tattler provides insight into “by the head” rentals south of the Pocomoke.

The Dynamic Duo?
Former Senator Fred Thompson is expected to announce his candidacy for the Presidency on September 4th. According to Robert Novak, former Speaker Newt Gingrich is advising Thompson.
Gingrich, probably the conservative movement’s (definitely the GOP’s) best idea man, could be the missing link to catapulting Thompson heads above close competitors Rudy Giuliani and Mitt Romney.

The Return of Mike Dunn
Yesterday morning I was appearing on Bill Reddish’s show on WICO-AM and I made the comment that Salisbury city councilwoman Louise Smith was little more than “Mike Dunn in drag”. Little did I know that I would be proven more than 100% correct at Monday night’s Salisbury council meeting.
Three characteristics shown above all others [...]
Will Delaware Use Unions to Destroy Charter Schools?
David Anderson of First State Politics reports that there is a proposal in Delaware to force charter schools to use state procurement guidelines for charter school construction. While I still would agree with the idea if the Delaware tax payer were footing the bill, given that Delaware does not provide funding to charter schools [...]
