Mo Money for Mo'Malley

In an effort to help keep Maryland moving forward a citizen commission is recommending pay raises for both the Governor and the members of the Maryland General Assembly.

Martin O'Malley, who considers himself the most attractive governor in the history of the state of Maryland, supposedly commented while looking in a mirror that he deserves the raise because he is the fairest of them all.

Criticism immediately came from all 14 Republicans in the General Assembly that the elected officials should not be considering a pay raise in a time when tax revenues are declining and liberal spending is out of control. In a retort, someone overheard Delegate Kumar Barve say that he'd take the Republicans' pay raises if they didn't want them and he'd celebrate with a beer.

The hypocritical President of the Senate Mike Miller stated while slicking back his hair that salaries are so low that the members cannot support their families, this despite the fact that most members have full time jobs that pay them hundreds of thousands of dollars per year. Senator Miller's statement violates the original intent of public office that it is a part-time job to serve the public, not a full-time gluttonous entitlement to the public coffers. But sadly that is the mentality of our corrupt elected officials. Show them the money!

Football Draft

We had our baseball draft the other night. No - I didn't draft anyone named O'Malley. In fact, I didn't draft anyone named Busch, Miller, Obama, Pelosi, or Reid. I actually want to win. Therefore, I drafted guys named:

Rivers
Manning
Westbrook
L. White
C. Taylor
Ochocinco
Royal
Curtis
Gates

and some Giants. Unlike the next session of the Maryland General Assembly, this should be a good football season!

Voter Problems

My operatives in Prince George's County learned that many people suspect the Republicans of trying to stifle the vote in this heavily Democratic county by making it rain. I don't think it's true that the Republicans are making it rain, but if it's keeping people from voting for idiocy, I'll take it.

My other operatives throughout the state are also reporting that Republicans are being blamed for various issues.

In Greektown in Baltimore City, I learned that Republicans are being blamed for really low voter turn-out. In Towson, Republicans are clearly at fault for the heavy traffic on the Beltway. In East Baltimore, it's the high crime rate that is their fault. And finally, in Annapolis, it's Maryland Republicans that are being besmirched for Martin O'Malley's lousy haircut.

As you can see from this anecdotal evidence, we'd all be better off if it weren't for that Republican minority in this state. As State Senate President Thomas V Mike Miller once said the Democrats were going to bury the Republicans of this state so far down that it will take 20 years for them to get out. I think he said this to a room full of donkeys.
