Entries for the 'O'Misery in O'Maryland' Category

Well, the GOP effort to undo the spectaular disaster of the Special Session was a flop, as I always expected it would be.  As Judge Stanfield ruled, invalidating the legislation just was not the remedy called for in the Constitution for a procedural violation.

But all was not lost.

Revenge is a dish best served cold.

O'Guvnah has been on tear to bring down Nancy Grasmick ever since she followed state and federal law in her attempt to take over 11 city schools that were failing so badly in their education of children, those kids didn't even make good corner kids.

Back then, of course, he was O'Mayor, the boy wunderkind Crackberry Addict, and some $52 million was "missing" from the Baltimore City Schools budget.  And the last thing he needed was was the State Superintendent reminding him of how crappy a job he was doing in the City of Baltimore.

Remember the O'Great O'Campaign O'Promises of 2006, when O'Guvnah promised that he was going to "straighten out" the Public Service Commission and get electricity rates back "under control"?

How's that working so far?  Not so well, as the Calvert Street Communist Party Newsletter has uncovered the newest Public Service Commission Scam.

Liberal Facism.

It's the title of a new book by NRO scribe Jonah Goldberg, and it does a thorough and devastating job of describing how the roots of modern progressivism, liberalism, and age-old facism have their roots in the same tree:  that government always has the best answer, the right answer, and the only answer.

It's the same tree that has sprung forth our current liberal, leftist leadership here in Maryland.

It's Day 15 of O'Misery in O'Maryland, and the payoff begins with O'Guvnah's plans to combat the subprime crisis.  Yes, I said payoff.  Year One of the Irish Mafia's Regime in Annapolis was about consolidating power, and spending the state into a fiscal crisis.

Year Two is all about the payoff to the Dark Servants who put O'Guvnah in power.

On Day 16, we turn our laser-like anger against O'Guvnah on his pledge to not raise tuition at University of Maryland system.  In a year where we are facing massive tax increases, and where the legislature is poised to enact major budget "cuts" (which I have already identified not as cuts, but as slowing increases in spending), it seems to be awfully arrogant to say that college students should get a free pass on feeling a little pain.

O'Guvnah has released his budget, and all I can do is mimic Gomer Pyle, USMC:

"Surprise, Surprise!"

It contains spending increases.

What good is the GOP in Maryland?  Typically, we would see the MD GOP acting as a real opposition party. If they had any coordination, you would see a "shadow" cabinet, real proposals to counter ridiculous budgets and tax increases, and strong opposition to the One Party Politburo that is the General Assembly.

Instead, it is far too go along, get along.

The word is out that O'Guvnah will have to relocate the offices of the Governor to the William Donald Schaefer Tower on St. Paul Street once the General Assembly session is over in April.

It turns out that the pipes in the State House need to be replaced.  Plus, Senate President Mike ManPerm Miller wants to restore the old House Chamber.  So, O'Guvnah needs a new place to think up all the new taxes and spending he wants for the 2009 Session.

But there is problem.  O'Guvnah sold his house in Baltimore in order to move in to Government House on State Circle. So now, he'll need to commute back up I-97 to Baltimore every day.

Since we are on this new "energy conservation" kick here in Maryland, does that mean he will car pool with Mrs. O'Guvnah? Or will he drive a Prius?  Do they come in a bulletproof model?  Only Roscoe Bartlett knows...
