While Governor Nero fiddles, and the state starts to burn, believe it or not, the itty-bitty Republican caucus has in fact come up with an alternative budget plan.

Here is a PowerPoint presentation of the plan.

Guvnah Marty The Mick O'Malley, General Secretary of Maryland's own version of the Communist Party USA, is at long last starting to unveil his strategy to overcome the "structural deficit" that a decade of teat-sucking by the General Politburo in Soddom on the Severn has given us.

Imagine my surprise this morning when I log on to baltimoresun.com, and I read a well-balanced and informative article on the Governor's plan to increase Medicaid funding for adults.  As I read Andy Greene's article, I thought I had stepped into the twilight zone.

The Calvert Street Communist Party Newsletter is reporting that Mayor Sheila Pratt Dixon -- who will oversee the first 300-count murder year in Baltimore since Kurt Schmoke was mayor -- is launching a new $2 million anti-littering campaign.

So, on a day where Baltimore recorded its 192nd murder of the year, the city wants to spend $2 million on litter?  Is Sheila Pratt Dixon crazy, dumb, or stupid?
