The biggest news to come out of the deposition of House of Delegates Chief Clerk Mary Monahan was that the she did in fact fabricate the documentation to falsely prove the validity of the laws passed during the Special Session.

More here from the Baltimore Examiner.

Marvin Mandell and Spiro Agnew could not be reached for comment.

So, it is okay for the government of the State of Maryland to lie, cheat, and steal at whim to achieve a political end?

Why should we respect these ratfuckers?  Tell me again why they shouldn't all be locked in the State House, and have it set fire?  Tell me again why the Governor and Attorney General shouldn't be guillotined on State Circle?

How can we be a free people if our Government so willingly and blatantly disregards its own laws?

Thy despot's heel is on thy shore is an understatement.

What are you going to do now, Wade Kach and Page Elmore?  The body of government which you so readily defend and hold up is CORRUPT, INCOMPETENT, and TYRANNICAL.  It's time you step up to the line and show you have a set.

The Maryland General Assembly and its members have NO HONOR, NO CHARACTER, and NO INTEGRITY.

Well, New Year’s Day passed without any major hiccups.  All the new taxes are now in effect.  For those of you held captive to the new socialist tax regime because you are distant to a border with a friendlier, neighboring state, you have my compassion.

The Republicans are all atwitter because they will be able to finally depose Mary Monahan, the House of Delegate’s Chief Clerk, over discrepancies in the House paperwork on a Senate adjournment that appears to be in violation of the State Constitution.

This is the first in a series of posts on who I will not vote for in the Maryland Primary.  Since I am a Registered Republican, I will only deal with Republican Candidates.

Part I:  Who I Will Not Vote for in the Maryland Primary:  Ron Paul

Over at O'MalleyWatch.com, Mr. Watcher has a great write up on the deft corruption that Martin O'Malley and his Shin Fein Footsoldiers have brought to state government:  holding conferences before they are approved by the Board of Public Works, then billing aftewards.

Why doesn't this constitute mail fraud?

I want to give props to Baltimore's new mayor, Sheila Pratt Dixon.  Under her leadership, Baltimore City is once again a shining example of the old adage: "You can put lipstick on a pig, but it is still a pig!"

One of the big reasons I have not been posting for a month has been work. But the other has been rage.  Pure, unadulterated, unbridled rage.  The votes by Dels. Page Elmore (R-Wicomico) and A. Wade Kach (R-Baltimore) sent me into an apoplectic rage.  Every time I sat down to write, the vitriol was uncontrollable.  But now, I have calmed down (somewhat) and I can think and write clearly again.

With the dawn of 2008, Marylanders awake to a new state of spending and taxation that will make the big-government Keynesianism of the Great Depression pale in tremendous comparison.  New sales taxes, new gas taxes, new tobacco taxes.  The list goes on and on.  Maryland will now reap the benefits of a Martin O’Malley victory in 2006.  Having squandered a $1.4 billion surplus during 2007, the O’Guvnah created a brand new $1.8 billion crisis deficit through the year for 2008 that resulted in some of the largest tax increases ever to fun an ever-expanding fascist bureaucracy and jobs program we politely call “Maryland State Government”.

In a previous post, I argued that we need to “Starve the Beast”.  That is, we need to deprive State Government of its ability to wage war on the hard-earned income of Marylanders.  In this ongoing series, I will posit ideas and concepts on how we can do this.  This will cause pain, and in some cases, it may seem unfair.  But we must be willing to take the battle directly to the thieves and whores of the General Assembly.  If they thought the Special Session of 2007 was painful, we must make their pain even greater, as they are forced to evaluate every nickel of state spending as revenues fall dramatically.

Wade Kach has taken the time to write to his constituents explain his vote on HB 4.  I produce it here in its entirety without comment (which I will do later in another post).

I hate to say it, but Wade Kach let us down in the House Slots Bill vote.  That bill will send the slots referendum "to the people" in a bizarre move generally not available under the Maryland Constitution.

Unless the Soddomites on the Severn are trying to punt the ball.
