Ted Stevens Indicted
Sen. Ted Stevens (R-AK) has been indicted by a federal grand jury. Steven, 84, the nation’s longest-serving GOP senator has been indicted on seven counts of falsely reporting hundreds of thousands of dollars in services he received from a company that helped renovate his home.
Unlike our Democrat brethren, we should not defend or protect [...]
If Barack Obama Has A Choice …
… Why Shouldn’t You (and Your Child)?
The greatest scandal in this nation is not high energy prices, or the war in Iraq, or even public corruption (except tangentially). No, as the Wall Street Journal pointed out yesterday, the GREATEST SCANDAL facing the United States is “the profound failure of inner-city public schools” (and many [...]
Is Wicomico County Planning on Stealing Farmers’ Land?
Monday’s Daily Times featured a letter to the editor from a Darlene Hammond of Salisbury. I don’t know Ms. Hammond, nor do I totally endorse her argument. What I do endorse, and so should you, is the idea behind.
It appears that a group in Wicomico County, led by Councilman Bill McCain and those [...]
Shouldn’t the Rules Apply to Brenda Wade?
Smack on the front page of today’s Daily Times we have a story about retired UMES dean Brenda Wade withdrawing her name from consideration for the Somerset County Board of Education. I get the distinct impression that writer Deborah Gates expects us to have sympathy for Mrs. Wade.
With all due respect, why should we? [...]
The PAC-14 Fiasco - Part II …
… Who Will Decide How This Money Will Be Spent?
This winds up being the $64,000 Question. To date the public has been pushed aside, ignored, and even deceived when it comes to answering this question. Remember, the proposal that’s floating around involves the spending of millions of dollars of both your tax dollars and your [...]
Voter Fraud in the Old Dominon
RPV Chair Jeff Frederick held a press conference on Monday to call for a state investigation into voter fraud charges first reported last week in Hampton. In calling for a state investigation, Frederick cited reports of similar fraud taking place in Richmond.
What is most disturbing is the refusal of police to name the non-profit [...]
Hoyer Claims Economy Needs Foreclosure Slush Fund
House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-MD) claims that the pork-laden, slush fund recently passed by Congress is needed to help stabilize the U.S. economy. Of course this has nothing to do with the fact that PG County, which is partly in Hoyer’s district, make up 30% of Maryland foreclosures. Nor does it matter [...]
Salisbury Makes The Big Time
I wish I could have found the letter, but I had already thrown away my papers from the weekend. According to the Washington Post’s “Maryland Moments” blog, someone wrote a letter to the editor which the Daily Times published:
“I wish someone would enlighten me as to why, at the One Stop Job
Market on Route [...]
Mark Warner - Judge for Yourself
Jim Gilmore for Senate has put up a page which is a one-stop shop for the info we discussed in a previous post on how Mark Warner deceived (and continues deceiving) Virginians when it comes to taxes. Mark Warner just hopes that not many Virginia voters bother checking out the facts.

The PAC-14 Fiasco - Part I …
… How Will YOUR Money Be Spent?
PAC-14, Salisbury / Wicomico’s local public access channel, wants to increase your monthly cable bill by $0.85. Personally, I don’t see much of a problem with the amount. But make no mistake - there is a problem. In fact, there are several problems:
How Will YOUR Money Be Spent?
Who Will [...]
The Mortgage Slush Fund Gets Bigger
As details of the $4 Billion slush fund pushed through the House by Nancy Pelosi become public, our collective stomachs should churn. Built in to this growing carbuncle are slop for an ever-growing group of pigs at the tax-funded trough.
Left-wing groups like Acorn and LaRaza will be beneficiaries of supposed spending on “affordable housing”. [...]
The Obama Road Show - Blame America First
This doesn’t need any of my commentary. Just read Jim Hoeft’s piece from Bearing Drift and ask yourself -
Is this who we want as President?
Mortgage Bailout Unsound - What Will Be Cost?
Hans Bader at OpenMarket.org reports that the bailout of Fannie Mae is structurally unsound. Just as distressing is the fact that the announced $25 Billion price tag is a “Wild Guess” at best.

Why Jim Gilmore Should Hire JR
Jim Hoeft of Bearing Drift has presented what is probably the best explanation of how Mark Warner hosed Virginians with a tax increase. Sure, we’ve all seen the video. We’ve all heard Warner explain it away.
The bottom line is that Warner not only raised taxes, he new he didn’t have to. His [...]
Democrats Want You to Pay …
… as long as they don’t have to.
Bearing Drift notes that there is no wonder why Democrats aren’t for tax breaks. Nobody games the system better.
However, there is a new low - even for the Democrats.
While you and I are paying $4+ per gallon, members of the 2008 Democrat Convention Host Committee are running [...]
