Football
In Other News
Okay, I also have a job and sometimes that keeps me busy.
The Baltimore Ravens played the Pittsburgh Steelers over the weekend. Here is an article about the game. Now, I think you would be hard-pressed to disagree that the Ravens never get any respect. When the Ravens won the Super Bowl, the only "football analyst" to pick them was Sterling Sharpe, and the only reason he picked the Ravens to win is that his brother, Shannon, was on the team.
Typical of Sports Illustrated, they think the Steelers are the best team ever. Right behind them are the Dallas Cowboys. ESPN, however, is not much better. Can you guess the sources of this article?
Big Ben Sacked 9 Times, Steelers Blanked By Ravens
BALTIMORE (AP) -- While sacking Ben Roethlisberger nine times, the Baltimore Ravens slightly reduced the Pittsburgh Steelers chance of successfully defending their Super Bowl title. Though still considered one of the best teams in the AFC North, the Steelers did not play well against the overrated Ravens, who, despite their nine wins, struggled throughout the game.
The Ravens troubles have haunted them all season. With Brian Billick's job on the line, he made some quick changes, firing offensive coordinator and long-time friend, Jim Fassel. Billick now controls the offensive play calling, but many wonder if this is enough. Though offensive play has improved slightly, many wonder if it will be enough to stop the surging Bengals.
McNair, thought to be the answer to the Ravens offensive problems, only threw for 140 yards, whereas Ben Roethlisberger, one of the best quarterbacks in the league over the past few years, threw for 214 yards. Baltimore, trying to find their grove, was forced to put Kyle Boller into the game. The Ravens struggled with penalties throughout the game, losing 87 yards on 10 penalties. Pittsburgh, which maintained good ball presence, only suffered 4 penalties for 28 yards.
The Steelers had some impressive drives showing that they are still in the driver's seat. Nate Washington received the ball 4 times for 49 yards, one catch alone for 27 yards. Also on the receiving end was Cedrick Wilson, also with 4 catches for 49 yards. The Steelers defense showed to be more formidable, shutting down Jamal Lewis, limiting him to only 66 yards. In the field, Todd Heap was held to 58 yards and 7 catches and veteran Derek Mason was held to 5 catches for 43 yards.
The loss was a minor setback for the Steelers. However, fans should not be dismayed as they play Tampa Bay and Cleveland at home, both winnable games. Also on the schedule are the Panthers who are in the midst of a major slump, losing to the Redskins yesterday. Following this game the Ravens come to Pittsburgh, where the Ravens have struggled. A strong showing throughout the remainder of the season could easily vault the Steelers into the playoffs.
The Ravens, however, have tough games at Cincinnati, Kansas City, and Pittsburgh, with home games against the surging Browns and Bills. Most analysts agree that the Ravens will need to do more to make a run at the playoffs, faint as their odds may be. A poor showing in the standings surely will end Brian Billick's career in Baltimore.
Meanwhile, in Cincinnati, the Bengals proved why they are the best team in the AFC North with a decisive win over the Browns, 30-0. The Bengals have the Ravens in their site and with a few solid wins, could easily swing ahead of the Ravens.
Dixon on Baltimore
When asked about the Ravens chances of winning it all, Baltimore mayor-default Sheila Dixon, said that she hopes the Ravens can really play above the rim and have a good chance of winning the NAACP Championship.
Ms. Dixon also said that she wants to increase state funding to city schools. Ain't that great? City schools already receive an average of $9000 per student per year. We could send these kids to private schools cheaper than that. Why are we, as taxpayers, sending them to drug-infested, bullet-ridden insane asylums?

A New Congress
Steny Hoyer
Steny Hoyer, the bigot from Southern Maryland who thinks he can say whatever he wants without consequence, which seems to be the case, is getting the cold shoulder from the Baltimore native Communist House Speaker, Nancy Pelosi.
Nancy Pelosi is seeking to fill the House Majority Leader position now that the Democrats have retaken the House of Representatives. Hoyer is the current Minority Leader, which would lead one to assume that he would become the Majority Leader, but Pelosi, known for her unexplainable and irrational decisions, endorsed former Marine and now anti-American John P. Murtha of Pennsylvania, as the House Majority Leader over Hoyer.
Steny Hoyer, who is pictured above with one of the members of his staff, was then incorrectly labeled by the Baltimore Sun as a business-friendly moderate. They forgot to mention racist and bigot. When asked about a possible correction, the Baltimore Sun, never shy about inserting editorial opinion into its journalistic reporting, told the requester to go pound some sand in a red state.
Brain Drain
Baltimore's new mayor-default, Sheila Dixon, said that she is concerned about a "brain-drain" from the city as Martin O'Malley takes his cronies with him to the State House. Expect the hypercritical Democrats to be silent when O'Malley fires all of Governor Ehrlich's appointments, despite their earlier lawsuit against the Governor when he did the same thing.
Anyway, here's a message for Ms. Dixon - the brain drain from Baltimore is not going to start when O'Malley becomes supreme ruler of Maryland. The brain drain began decades ago and has only gotten worse. The brain drain began when hard left-wing liberal extremists tried to institute socialism as the government of the city and tax all of the working people so that they could do "income redistribution" for all those blessed souls that just don't feel like working. This began the great flight to the suburbs where taxes were much lower and crime almost non-existent. This brain drain isn't going to start now.
Think about it - working or living in the city: if you had the choice, would you:
A) live in the suburbs where there's little crime and lower taxes, or
B) live in one of the most violent cities in America and pay taxes through the nose?
A) work in a congested city where parking is expensive, a city that is not business friendly, because the city wants to tax them through the nose, or
B) work in the suburbs where there is free parking and a business-friendly environment? (And did we mention less crime?)
A) work in the suburbs close to your home where there is less crime and lower taxes, or
B) work in the city and tolerate an inhospitable mass transit system where city residents prey on commuters to steal their money? (I am stating this with experience. A 12 year old once got in my face on a crowded subway train, stood on by bag and said with nonsubtle racist attitude, "I'm standing on your sh*t, b*tch, wha' you gonna do 'bout it?")
I think most of the people with brains have already figured it out. Baltimore City is not the place to live if you like to live.
Despite the criticism of her lack of intelligence, Sheila Dixon says she has plans for the city and looks forward to being the new mayor. Many things could happen to this city and perhaps not all of them are bad.

The State of Race
Howard Dean on African-Americans
Howard Dean, the Chairman of the Democratic party and former candidate for President, is one crazy character. He basically lost the Presidential election when he went nuts on stage and started screaming. It's really fun to listen to.
And you absolutely have to listen to this remix. Hysterical!!!
Now, Howard Dean has never denied that he is a racist communist, so we will have to make the assumption that he is one. First, he is the former Governor of Vermont, a known hot bed of communist activity.
Secondly, is discussing the Democrat's success in the mid-term elections, he criticized Maryland
Democrats to make sure they "do not have another Michael Steele problem." Perpetuating the racism that is integral the Democratic party, they want the African-American vote, but they do not want them in office except for the token show pieces.
My Irish Eyes are Blood-Shot and Watery
Newly elected Governor Martin O'Malley, in an excellent show of timing, released information concerning his drunk driving arrest the day after he was elected. Arresting officers stated that O'Malley reeked of alcohol and was chumming on tobacco to mask the smell of the beer.
Martin O'Malley was then given a sobriety test where in his drunkenness after he refused a breathalyzer test. Why do most people refuse a breathalyzer test? Because they're drunk!!! In the field test, he nearly lost his balance in a heal-to-toe test. He was then asked to stand on one leg and count to 30. Rumor is that he claimed he was a Baltimore City school graduate and it wasn't fair for him to recite complex math, especially when he's stinking drunk.
O'Malley's father, a extraordinary wealthy Montgomery County lawyer, requested a motion to suppress the evidence. The judge granted the request. Why would someone request to suppress the evidence? Because they're guilty!!! Why would someone grant a request to suppress evidence? I can only think of 2 reasons - O'Malley's father either had some way to blackmail the judge or the judge had received political donations to from O'Malley.
Pete's Dragon Franchot
Peter Franchot, the guy that won the State Comptroller position only because he didn't call Donald Schaefer grandpa or Janet Owens Old Mother Hubbard. However, we all know that this guy is a total nut. He's the only Comptroller that I know who ran on a Pro-Choice platform. As Governor Ehrlich said, this guy obviously doesn't know what the position is about. I will contradict that by saying that Mr. Franchot is setting himself up for his own Governor's race in 2010 or 2014.
Mr. Franchot, being the policy advocate Comptroller-elect, is now discussing how we are going to combat global warming. What is his input going to be? A tax on combustion engines? When asked how he is going to fund Thorton, he said the old fashioned way. This is a euphemism for an increase in taxes. Expect a raise in property taxes against the "wealthy" people in Maryland. Sounds good except that he'll probably define "wealthy" as people with a household income greater than $60,000. If you and your spouse make $30,000 each, you're wealthy. This sucks, doesn't it?!!!
Look for a commuter tax, too. If you work in one county and live in another, bamm!!!! It's going to hurt. Peter the Robber Baron said to relax and it won't hurt that much. Isn't that what they say in prison???
New Mayor's Plans for Baltimore
Baltimore's new mayor-default, Sheila Dixon, says she has some great ideas for when she becomes mayor. Not only will all of her family members get jobs (since when has nepotism in Maryland been a problem???), but she also wants to improve the city schools.
Hark! What a great idea! I think O'Malley, Schmoke, Burns, Schaefer, D'Alesandro III, McKeldin, Goodman, Grady, D'Alesandro, Jr, Jackson, Broening, Preston, etc... said the same thing. If you are a former city school student, these are the previous mayors of Baltimore. If you're an educated realist, you'll know that they all failed miserably. If you're a Democrat, you know they worked hard to help the working people of Baltimore.

New Mayor Of Baltimore
Baltimore's New Mayor
The saying is that no good deed goes unpunished. Well, in this case, even a bad deed won't go unpunished. By electing Martin "Show Me The Money" O'Malley as governor, Sheila Dixon now becomes the proud mayor of Baltimore.
Chris Rock has a wonderful skit where he says that his mother was yelling at him as a teenager to stay off of drugs because if you are on drugs, what are you going to do with your life? Rock replied, "I could be Mayor!" referring to federally convicted crack user, Washington DC Mayor Marion Berry.
Anyway, all I can say to the people of Baltimore is that you get what get. I predict that Baltimore will be destroyed in a blazing inferno started by incompetent family members running the Department of Public Works. If you're not familiar with Sheila Dixon, check out this previous blog post: Baltimore is in Trouble

Oh-No Malley!!!
Say it Ain't True!!!
So it looks like Ehrlich is going to lose to Mayor Martin "Ain't I Pretty" O'Malley. It also looks like Michael Steele is going to lose to Ben "Tax & Spend" Cardin. Pass the Zoloft. I heard that in his victory speech last night, O'Malley claimed, "I know I did an abysmal job as mayor and I'm totally incompetent as a public official, but you ladies know I'm sexy and I plan on being sexy for a long time to come! Thank you for voting for me!"
Hot under the collar Mike Miller was heard saying, "Yeah, we taught those f**kers a lesson, didn't we? Like I said, we will bury the Republicans and the 2-party system for 20 years!!! Remember, it's not voter fraud when you tell the people that you are safe-guarding their right to vote!"
Predictions
Here are my predictions should, in fact, the election process validate their victories:
1) Sales tax will increase to 6% so that we can provide more services to people that just don't want to work, God bless them.
2) The General Assembly will all of a sudden to decide that they are no longer against the slots bill and will approve the one submitted by O'Malley that, curiously, has Bob Ehrlich's name on the bottom crossed out, and it signed by O'Malley in crayon.
3) Greg and Dave will be able to get married.
4) The death penalty will be repealed and at the same time, they will make it easier for 12 year old girls to get abortions. Interesting how it's okay to kill an unborn child, but not a murderer, but I digress.
5) All of Sheila Dixon's family will have jobs in city government when she takes over as Mayor.
6) Corporate taxes will increase so that they pay their "fair share". In 10 years, many corporations will have moved to North Carolina. To combat this loss of tax-base, the state will raise taxes. More companies will move to North Carolina, causing the state to increase taxes to keep up with the loss of tax-base.
7) In Carroll County, the state will close the airport in Westminster and confiscate the land. (For graduates of city public schools - an airport is where airplanes land). The land will then be
Interesting
1) On Channel 13 when O'Malley was voting, he finished and went to kiss his wife and she turned her head, so he kissed her cheek. It's a good thing that years of rumors of his infidelity are not true.
2) CNN and AP reported that O'Malley and Cardin were victors with 1% of the polls reporting in. These polls showed Ehrlich and Steele ahead. Makes sense to you, right?
3) A new website was created to help Marylanders who need to cope with the election of hard-left wing liberal extremists. Go here.
Going forward, this blog will continue to operate as a watch dog site to show the hard-working people of Maryland what the evil rulers of the state are doing. Stay tuned!

My continuing exit polling is showing that Bob Ehrlich/Kristin Cox and Michael Steele are leading by a landslide over Martin "Tax it All" O'Malley and Ben "free drivers licenses for everyone" Cardin.
However, someone has found a flaw in my exit polling. I have interviewed people who:
A) Have jobs
B) Have families
C) Are concerned about their future
D) Want the good economy to continue
E) Want to provide our troops with their needed supplies and pay

Election Day
Election Day
Today is election day and if you are a Republican, you should be out voting. If you are a Democrat, don't worry, you can vote tomorrow!
There have been some concerns at the polls today. Some stations are showing that not all polling machines are working because they forgot to send extension cords.
Fortunately, my exit polling shows that Ehrlich/Cox and Steele are far ahead. To those who are voting for O'Malley and Ben "I love illegal immigrants" Cardin, Judge Judy and Wheel of Fortune are on tonight - stay home and don't miss their exciting new episodes!!!
My sister-in-law called me and for school board in Harford Country, the form said to "choose no more than 2". She chose 1, but the program would not let her do that. The election judges were confounded and recommended that she choose an additional person to circumvent the problem. Yikes!
Someone called WBAL and said that his neighbor and he went to vote and posed as each other. No one questioned them nor asked for identification. This is illegal, but it proves that anyone can go in and vote as someone else. Fortunately, Democrats do not listen to WBAL, but most of them are well-trained in voter fraud. O'Malley held classes for the past 2 months.
O'Malley Endorses...

BUZZ BUZZ
Unless something odd happens, we will not know who the Governor or Senator are for several days. A poll cast by the left-wing liberal extremist MSNBC showed that the gubernatorial race (that's the race for Governor if you're from a Baltimore City school), was dead even at 45% each.
The same poll showed that Ben 'me amigo' Cardin and Michael Steele are 1% apart, but with the +/- error, it is dead even, too. When Cardin's supporters were asked to comment, most said, "Aye carumba! No hable Ingles, si."
With the election results hanging tonight, the buzz words & phrases being thrown around will be "Voter fraud", "Dirty tricks", "voter disenfranchisement", "not counting the votes", and "stole the election". Word on the street is that both parties have hired their lawyers to sue the other side once the election results are given. Neither side will concede the election, while both sides will declare victory.
The best thing about election day? No more stinking political advertisements. We're all sick of them!!!!!!

While he tried to explain the transaction to her, she stood there and cried.

Ben Cardin Who???
Cardin Gaffe
Asked about the Patriot Act, Ben Cardin recently said something to the effect that the act did not concern him because it was enacted before he ever came into office. I envision the conversation something like this (and use your best Hanna-Barbara dumb-guy character voice):
Reporter: How do you feel about the Patriot Act? (this is a typical report question. They want to know about feelings rather than facts)
Ben: D-oy, the Patriot Act doesn't concern me, 'cuz I wasn't in Congress yet.
Reporter: Mr. Cardin, you've been in office for 28 years.
Ben: D-ya. What's yer point?
Reporter: The Act was passed in 2001 and further provisions were reaffirmed in 2005 and you actually voted to fund the war.
Ben: Ayee, what?
Reporter: And you voted against taking action in the first Gulf War when Saddam Huessein attacked Kuwait. Then you voted against a Republican plan to start withdrawing troops from Iraq, despite that being one of your platforms.
Ben: Hey - dat's not fair. Stop using my voting record to make me look stupid!
Reporter: Can you give us some details about your plan for Maryland's transportation problems? For example, could you comment on the plans for the purple line?
Ben: The purple line? I've heard of that!
Reporter: Can you tell us about it? Where will it be?
Ben: D-oy, I don't know. How am I supposed to know that? Just because Michael Steele knows all the details, hey, wait a minute! Yer still trying to make me look dumb!
Asked about the Patriot Act, Ben Cardin recently said something to the effect that the act did not concern him because it was enacted before he ever came into office. I envision the conversation something like this (and use your best Hanna-Barbara dumb-guy character voice):
Reporter: How do you feel about the Patriot Act? (this is a typical report question. They want to know about feelings rather than facts)
Ben: D-oy, the Patriot Act doesn't concern me, 'cuz I wasn't in Congress yet.
Reporter: Mr. Cardin, you've been in office for 28 years.
Ben: D-ya. What's yer point?
Reporter: The Act was passed in 2001 and further provisions were reaffirmed in 2005 and you actually voted to fund the war.

Truth Hath No Value In Politics
I See No Evil, I Hear No Evil, But I Am Evil
Quote of the day: in reference to Martin O'Malley's drunk driving arrest when he was a law student and his failure to disclose it to the public, State Fraternal Order of Police President John "Rodney" Bartlett, Jr. stated, "Although his arrest and acquittal 20 years ago on a driving under the influence charge may be irrelevant to his ability to serve as Governor, his ability to tell the truth completely and without qualification is extremely relevant."
This really complicates matters. We are now going to bring being able to tell the truth into the election? I fully expect Martin O'Malley does not maintain the ability to tell the truth. But then again, that seems to be a characteristic of most politicians. If Martin O'Malley is going to be held to the higher standard of truth-saying, he might be in trouble.
Mr. Rock-n-Roll O'Malley, I recommend that you come clean and release your law application.
Scary Halloween Surprise!!!

Okay, so Halloween was a couple of days ago, but there's still good stuff to share.

Isn't it too bad this doofus didn't get to be our President? Everyone makes fun of GW, but is this guy any better?

Poll Results
The Sun Still Sucks
The Baltimore Sun sat on poll results for several days as they did not know what to do with them. The results show that Ehrlich and O'Malley are dead even. They are baffled by the results and wonder how Marylanders could be so stupid.
Apparently, previous polls had shown that their beloved Prince Martin O'Malley was maintaining a 14-15% lead over the dastardly Republican. Hark, the new poll shows them at 47% - 46% with a margin of error being 3.5%, statistically speaking a tie. What would any good liberal propaganda newspaper do with this information? Nothing! Don't let the truth get out. As The Sun has always practiced, they don't let the truth get in the way of a good story.
It was reported that The Sun was forced to release the results of the poll because the polling company threatened to release it to the public if The Sun did not do it.
An article in The Sun by Andrew Green and Doug Donovan, 2 guys known in the journalism world as vocal hard left-wing liberal extremists, criticized Ehrlich for his "relentless attacks on Mayor Martin O'Malley's record on crime and schools". In typical 'non-racist' hypocrisy, the article focused almost entirely on skin color. It stressed that the black turnout must be high to defeat Governor Ehrlich. However, little was mentioned about how white turnout would defeat O'Malley. Rather than focusing on issues that will turn out voters, The Sun continues to make this a race issue. Shame on The Sun. But should we expect anything less from a bunch of bigots?
Private Dumb-Dumb
John Kerry thinks that everyone in the military is an idiot. This is what he said/inferred the other day when he said, "You know, education -- if you make the most of it, you study hard and you do your homework and you make an effort to be smart, you can do well. If you don't, you get stuck in Iraq."
Kerry, a condescending former war veteran, has never been shy about disparaging our military members. He once threw his medals, medals that most soldiers are proud to own, over the fence of the White House. He also exaggerated his accomplishments in Vietnam, only to be discredited by his own members. And can we even count how many times he has voted against funding for the military?
It's a Technicality!
Jim Smith, the liberal County Executive for Baltimore County, thinks he has found a way to legally break the law. What, you ask? Campaign laws forbid anyone from contributing more than $6,000 to any one candidate. Jim Smith, being a Democrat who's above the law, donated a ton of money to a slate with the intention of moving that money to Scott Shellenberger. One of those slates, Baltimore County Victory Slate, show that Smith was the only contributor. All of these slates, in turn, were directed by Jim SMith to then send the money to Shellenberger.
When asked about why he broke the law, the Smith campaign responded that Scott Shellenberger is an outstanding candidate and will bring a strong partner in Baltimore County's
renaissance. What the cuss does that have to do with the question? Are they saying it's okay to break the law if it is for a good cause? Are they taking their morals and values from Madonna?
All in all, no one seems to be anxious to investigate or charge anyone with any wrong doing, further proving that the Maryland Democratic machine runs more than just the General Assembly and the courts. This is why we need to get these crooks out of office.
Don't Forget To Vote
Do not forget that there are new voting rules in place designed to ease polling station congestion.
Republicans - remember that your day to vote is on Tuesday, November 7th.
Democrats - remember that your day to vote is on Wednesday, November 8th.
