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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

As we roll into Day 10 of O'Misery in O'Maryland, we embrace the fundamental LACK of leadership that O'Guvnah represents.  He's less than a pretty face in the State House.  He's a Crackberry addict working hard to bring his spectacular string of failures from Baltimore City to the ENTIRE state of Maryland.

That's right, O'Guvnah's goal is to bring the same crime problems, budget problems, school problems, and cultural problems to the Entire State, from the golden seashore of Worcester County, the mountain majesty of Garrett County.

But today, I want to look at dumbass comment number 1,300,364,223 from O'Guvnah.

The board is set.  Every one grab your behinds and brace your jaw, because now that the General Assembly is in session, we are all about to bent over the table.

Instead of fixing the operations of state government to consume less, the General Assembly-- in all their glorious "kings for 90 days" stupidity -- will continue to spend, spend, spend.

For Maryland State Legislators, money is like heroin.  The more we give them, the more they want.  Don't believe me?  Show me a state office complex that ever gets smaller.

And since our legislature is DOMINATED by liberal Democrats, state government becomes just one more large welfare jobs program for the unions.

So bend over Maryland, grab the K-Y, and clamp down.  It's going to be a rough 90 days.

I was watching State Circle with Jeff Salkin on PBS last Thursday night (yes, conservatives do watch PBS... hey, we pay for it, too.) and I had to listen to Senate President Thomas "Mike" "Man Perm" Miller talk. 

Rarely in state politics do you hear one man speak so many so words, but say so little with so little meaning.

One of O'Guvnah's favorite tools to spur "economic development" when he was Mayor of Baltimore was the use of tax abatements and property tax breaks to prompt corporations to keep their headquarters (or at least major operations) in the City of Baltimore.
