Jim Gilmore Supports Freedom …
…Mark Warner wants to strip workers of the secret ballot.
Former Virginia Gov. Mark Warner has refused to publicly affirm his support of the so-called “Employee Free Choice Act”. Fortunately for Virginians, Warner was caught on video affirming his support for a bill which would strip workers of their current right to have a secret [...]
Kratovil Shows Real Talent …
… For Talking Out of Both Sides of Mouth
Yesterday, we showed you the new TV commercial unveiled by Democrat congressional candidate Frank Kratovil. Today a few tidbits were brought to our attention that you may find interesting. Blue Dog Frank promises to:
Cut Taxes - Just a few months ago, Frank Kratovil called cutting [...]
Kratovil Promises …
… But Could He Deliver?
Democrat congressional candidate Frank Kratovil launched his latest TV commercial last night. It’s chock full of promises. The only question is, could Blue Dog Frank deliver IF he were elected?
End our dependence on foreign oil? How Frank? You’re opposed to offshore drilling, along with your masters - Nancy Pelosi and Barack [...]

Are There Limits to Biden’s Arrogance?
Joe Biden wants to be the judge over whether you or I should own a gun. The proud original author of the “assault weapons ban”, Biden has no problem with accusing people who cherish their right to keep and bear arms of being mentally incompetent.
Sorry Joe, that’s what courts are for. I realize [...]
Old Mall Still on Hold and the Daily Times Still Can’t Get It Right
This morning’s Daily Times article explaining the the current status of the taxpayer subsidized Village at Salisbury Lakes project (better known to us hoi polloi as the old mall) suffers from a severe break with reality. While I can’t argue with the core subject - the developers’ continuing fight to avoid returning a seven [...]
MD GOP - It’s Time for the Revolution
I know the timing could be better, but Maryland Senate Minority Leader David Brinkley’s announcement that he will step down means that it’s time for grassroots Republicans to demand change. If we ever want to see Maryland become a true two party state, the GOP must begin to offer true alternatives. Democrat-light will simply not [...]
Jimmy Carter Redux …
… Can America afford Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, and Frank Kratovil?
Driving into the office this morning I heard an interview with House Speaker Nancy “Little Tommy” Pelosi. In her closing remarks she stated that she looked forward to the Democrats having a larger majority in January so that she could “end the war [...]
Louise Smith Gets to Take Center Stage
Salisbury City County President Louise Smith may be switching her voter registration. Smith, personification of the “tell me I’m pretty” attitude, gets to take center stage tonight thanks to First District Democrats.
Because Mayor Barrie Tilghman will be out of town for the Obama Love Fest in Denver, Louise gets to stand before the cameras this [...]
Will the Wicomico County Council Defend the Taxpayers?
It is true that 2010 is the earliest that we can expect a vote by citizens as to the abolition of the Wicomico County dispensary. In the meantime, should the Wicomico County Council just sit on their collective collective hands?
Of course not. There are several things that the Wicomico County Council can, and [...]
WCLCB - Spin, Spin, Spin at the County Council Meeting
Wicomico County dispensary board chair Stewart Haemel claims that he’s not a politician. He can sure tell stories better than just about any I’ve ever known. At Tuesday’s County Council meeting Haemel took the opportunity to stand before the TV cameras and tell some real old fashioned “fish stories”. Like watching a [...]
WCLCB - Better Late Than Ever
One complaint heard this morning was that the Daily Times, true to form, charges to take on an issue … AFTER their opinion could have an impact. All too true. However, never one to look a gift horse in the mouth I figure we should take what we can get. There are, [...]
Council Votes to Continue Corruption - Part II
As we noted yesterday, the discussion and vote over Resolution 110-2008 (to ask the legislature for a binding referendum to abolish the Wicomico County dispensary) was confusing to say the least. Last night I had an opportunity to review the proceedings on PAC-14 and was dismayed to discover that Wicomico County Councilman John Cannon [...]
Council Votes to Continue Corruption
By a 6-1 vote, the Wicomico County Council voted down a resolution to ask the Maryland legislature to allow a referendum to abolish the Wicomico County dispensary system. The only council member to vote for the resolution was Councilwoman Stevie Prettyman.
Charges have been leveled that Councilman John Cannon abused his authority in the manner [...]
Martin O’Malley - Energy Proposal is Whistling in the Dark
Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley wants a cleaner, brighter, sunshinier Maryland. Don’t you?
Most Marylanders would say no if it means paying even more for energy. O’Malley, never one to accept the concept of a free market, believes that you should pay more - and be happy about it.
O’Malley’s latest energy proposal seems to be [...]
