Maryland Politics
Steny Hoyer Is Right About One Thing
House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer is right about one thing - people want a change. Unfortunately for Frank Kratovil, he’s not the change they want.
First District Republicans have already voted for a change. They voted for Andy Harris. There is no doubt that the voters will confirm that choice in November.
Rep. Wayne [...]
The O’Malley Judicial Saga Continues
Like Salisbury Mayor Barrie Tilghman and her continuing saga of the Larson family, Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley continues to attract unwanted attention in the way he selects judges. The only difference is that Tilghman has to make up her stories. Unfortunately for Marylanders, the O’Malley Judicial Saga is real.

Frank Kratovil’s Friends Levy Tax on Workers
The Service Employees International Union (SEIU) has pledged to spend $150 million in the 2008 election. There’s just one problem. As David Anderson noted, the SEIU doesn’t have $150 million to spend on political activity.
Since the government wouldn’t give them the money - the lefty solution of choice - they’ve opted for another [...]
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 [...]
O’Malley’s Big Parade
Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley didn’t get much of a reception on Capitol Hill Thursday. His friends at the Sun tried to put some lipstick on that pig by calling it a receptive, if tiny, audience. Calling an audience of one tiny seems like hyperbole even for the Sun.
Notice that O’Malley didn’t brag about [...]
Big Labor Keeping An Eye On Their Boy Frank Kratovil
One of the things that fascinates me most about writing for a blog is where your readers come from. One of the analytics packages that Delmarva Dealings subscribes to gives me a nice GoogleMaps mashup with markers of where the last 100 or so readers came from. It’s gratifying to see that you [...]
War Declared on Virginia Educrats
The Family Foundation used the announcement of Del. Chris Saxman’s School Choice Virginia initiative to tell the Commonwealth’s education establishment:
Frankly, school choice is coming to Virginia. It’s coming whether the
educrat establishment likes it or not. It may take some time, but as
more and more states recognize the need for educational freedom, the
only question that remains [...]
You Can’t Make This Up?
Sure you can, if your name is Bill Duvall. Duvall, who must have made a legal career never arguing before a judge or jury, has become the “King of Straw”. Rather than argue an actual point with evidence, he simply loves to build up a straw man and attempt to beat it down.
Today [...]
Bigots for Kratovil
Kratovil for Congress shill “Bud the Blogger” doesn’t like Andy Harris’ pollster. Bud claims he’s gay. I say, “So What?”.
Frankie’s boy says that pollster Arthur Finkelstein “married” his long-time partner. Again, “So What?”.
Bud claims that this somehow proves that Maryland Sen. Andy Harris is not a conservative. How? When has [...]
Andy Harris Leads in Poll …
… for a REASON!
A recent poll shows Maryland Sen. Andy Harris with a 16 point lead over his Democrat rival Frank Kratovil. There’s a good reason for voters’ overwhelming approval of Harris. Contrary to some, who seem to believe that the world ends on the eastern shores of the Chesapeake Bay, there are [...]
Why Is Nuclear Power So Expensive?
O’Malley Watch notes that MaryPIRG is opposing the construction of another reactor at Calvert Cliffs. Their reason? Nuclear power is too expensive.
A big reason that nuclear plant is so expensive is because of leftist groups like MaryPIRG fight the permitting process and keep demanding changes until the utility constructing the plant either gives [...]
Frank Kratovil - Man of the Special Interest
Thank goodness for Brian Griffiths! After our favorite Maryland lefty blogger had a hissy over Andy Harris taking a little bit of oil money, my friend and Red Maryland colleague has taken the time to compile a list of just some of the special-interest checks merrily being cashed by Frank “I’m a moderately conservative [...]
Surprise, Surprise! AFSCME Supports Slots
AFSCME, the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, has announced that it plans to support the November slots referendum. What a surprise!
With 35,000 members in Maryland, why wouldn’t they? Slots means more state government spending. More government spending means more bureaucrats. More bureaucrats means more dues-paying members to pay [...]
Frank Kratovil Must Think That The Voters of Stupid
Hypocrisy is nothing new to politics, particularly among liberal politicians. It’s just not everyday that a seeker of elected office manages to display it within the course of 30 seconds. First District congressional candidate Frank Kratovil showed that he can.
In Thursday morning’s Daily Times, Kratovil is quoted:
Kratovil characterized Harris as an extremist who [...]
