I received the following email from a reader in the beautiful town of Delmar (not sure if it was Delmar, MD or Delmar, DE, but that isn't important):

Might I ask that you refrain from using Delmar in conjunction with, or reference to, JJ?.  Each time I see it, it makes me cringe.  Most people in our small town consider him to be worthless and vile and it really throws us in a bad light.

Because the email was so nice and polite, and I feel for Delmar's pain, I shall willingly oblige their request.

And I wish them all the best.

If member of Maryland's House of Delegates and the Maryland State Senate refused to present themselves for the Special Session?

Would the lack of a quorum suspend business?

Is the Governor empowered to force their attendance using the State Police?

Does anyone know?

Maryland, My Maryland!  The Despot's Heal is On Thy Shore!

This line from our old State song speaks perfectly to the situation we face now in the Old Line state.

As Soddom on the Severn gears up and Marylanders start grabbing their ankles, the fundamental question we should ask: will K-Y jelly be taxed to?

There's a huge brouhaha growing (or brewing?) over the nomination of Judge Mukaskey to be the next Attorney General and the issue of waterboarding.

The problem:  it's all bullshit.

If this report by Craign Franklin in the Christian Science Monitor, it does not speak well for the "drive by media", who can hardly be relied up to do anything investigation-related.

Make sure you read the whole thing.

Peter Franchot, the state Comptroller, and usually a reliable lefty collectivist, seems to be the only elected adult in Maryland state government.

He is urging the legislature to wait until the tax estimates report comes out in December before acting in haste to rape Maryland taxpayers.

Bravo for him!

Justice delayed is justice denied.

In an update to my earlier post "Bad Judge Makes Bad Law" , word is out on the O'Malley Gazette that Baltimore County Circuit Court Administrative Judge John G. Turnbull II has granted a prosecution request to delay the start of the trial of Bryan Keith Rose as a result of Judge Souder's ridiculous ruling that fingerprint evidence cannot be used in the trial.

In the words of Prosecutor Jason League, "This ruling virtually overturns 100 years of jurisprudence with respect to the admissibility of latent fingerprint evidence."

Meanwhile, the family of Warren T. Fleming is denied the opportunity to see his alleged murderer brought to justice.

Justice delayed is justice denied.

Thanks, Judge Souder.  I hope you are never the victim of a crime where the prosecution has to rely on fingerprint evidence.

The O'Malley Gazette is reporting this morning that Baltimore County Circuit Court Judge Susan M. Souder has barred the use of partial prints in the murder trial of Bryan Keith Rose.  Rose is charged in the murder of Warren T. Fleming outside of Security Square Mall in January of 2006.

The order issued by High Priestess Souder is bad law and trumps our jury system.

According to the O'Malley Gazette, the fix is in on the Guvnah's proposed tax package.  Senate President Mike "ManPerm" Miller and Speaker Michael "Double Dipper" Busch feel confident that they can deliver both houses for the latest rape of Marylanders by our "beloved" government.
