I have one question about the state medevac crash that hasn't been answered yet (and god forbid the news reporters would ask it):

Why isn't the fuselage burned?  In all the pictures, you don't see any scorching or charring.  No burn spots on the ground.  Given that a helicopter is largely a flying gas tank attached to a kitchen mixer, I would expect to see evidence of a fire from the avgas.

Why is there no such evidence?

Guess what happens when you don't endorse The One?  You get kicked off the plane.  That's right.  The New York Post, the Dallas Morning News, and the Washington Times dared to endorse John McCain for the election, and their reporters were kicked off the plane.

Once again, the Great and Mighty Gunpowder Chronicle is called upon to perform a public service in the name of defending the Great State of Maryland and its institutions from the deceitful and misinformed attacks of Southwest Delaware's most notorious convicted perjurer and woman beater, otherwise known on these pages as Sebaceous Puss.  In his post "PRMC Takes a Page from Walmart", Sebaceous Puss displays his complete and utter lack of understanding of how health care works, the situation at Peninsula Regional Medical Center, and his complete unwillingness to do any confirmation or investigation of the stories he posts.  For those of you who worship at the foot of the Sebaceous Puss throne, I suggest you re-evaluate your confidence in his over-inflated sense of self-worth, as the facts and the situation surrounding the anesthesiologists at Peninsula Regional is both much different and more complex than the convicted perjurer would lead you to believe.

Hannity and Colmes broke the news tonight that Bill Ayers's book Prairie Fire (a communist manifesto) was dedicated to the murderer of Robert F. Kennedy:  Sirhan-Sirhan.

Let me say that again:  the man that helped launch Barack Obama's Illinois political career in his living room-- Communist and domestic terrorist Bill Ayers -- dedicated his book Prairie Fire to the murderer of Robert F. Kennedy.

Imagine my shock this afternoon when I went out for a quick cup of coffee downtown and found the most recent version of the Campus Connection Online featuring the headline "UMMS Misled State When Requesting Funds for Failed Ambulatory Care Center".  As the state's flagship public health facility, UMMS is a key part of our state's healthcare system.  With it's expansion to include not just the hospital downtown, but also the former Easton Memorial, Maryland General Hospital, Kernan, Mt. Washington Pediatric, and Chester River Health System, UMMS is a major player in the state.  The fact that they may have misled the legislature is disturbing at best.

For someone who claims to be such a phenomenally successful businessman, Sebaceous Puss (our new nickname for Jihad Joe Albero) is really a dumb, ignorant chickenfracker.  He's decided to go on a tirade against police officers using medical leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act.  One would almost wonder how you can operate a business in this country living in such phenomenal ignorance of the law.

You better not dare challenge The One.  After all, he is The One, and you are just one of the little people.  Even if The One dares to walk up and interrupt your day with his entourage of Hari-Krishna like followers in the press, you should bow your head, and address The One with reverence and humility.

Otherwise, he will release the hounds on you.  Claudia Rosett has all the details.

Over at First Things, Richard John Neuhaus has an excellent essay on the real cost of an Obama Presidency on the "culture of life".

Recommended reading for anyone who thinks about these things.

Barack Obama love to tout that his tax plan that will cut taxes for 95% of families in this country.  That's a great claim.  How he arrived at the 95% of the number has never been fully explained, but it sounds great at first glance.  But I think we should take a second look.

Mayonaise Shattuck is going to waive his $18 million severance package under the deal to sell Constellation Energy to Mid-American Energy Holdings.  Of course, let's not forget that he is still slated to receive $10.9 million in "owed incentive payments".  And if he is terminated within two years -- which is likely, since you rarely keep around the failed leadership -- he'll be eligible for another $11.3 million in bonuses and a pension upgrade.

All this for a man who drove his company into the ground through profligate incompetence and nearly brought the nation's oldest public utility (BGE) to its knees.
