Baltimore Elects Sheila Dixon

The residents of Baltimore have once again proved that the dirt that they stand on is smarter than they are. On Tuesday, they overwhelmingly elected Sheila Dixon to continue as the Mayor of Baltimore.

By electing Mayor Dixon, they endorse the high crime in the city. Sheila's actions, if anything, have helped increase crime during her tenure in office. Baltimore leads large cities in crime and almost seems to be proud of this ranking. Outside of Super Bowl XXXV, Baltimore hasn't been number one outside of contracted syphilis & gonorrhea cases, prostate cancer, and erectile dysfunction. So it's only natural to cheer for your strength.

By electing Mayor Dixon, the people of Baltimore have excused her ethical violations. These include hiring her sister in City Hall for a no-show position. This includes providing no-bid contracts to her other sister's company.

By electing Mayor Dixon, residents endorse her plan to reduce crime and help our schools by "working together". Not sure what the hell that means. Is she saying that previously, she was working against the people of Baltimore? That would seem to be the case. Recall that the Baltimore City Board of Education misplaced $54 million. I told them to look in that envelope in the top left drawer, but they never listen to me.

To make matters worse, Sheila was charged by contender Keiffer Mitchell with election fraud when she visited several polling places perhaps to pump up votes - an election violation called electioneering. She did not deny the allegations. Nor did she deny the alligators.

Finally, in her acceptance speach, Sheila said, "I want to thank everyone who voted for me, regardless of which button you pushed." What do you make of that? WBAL radio played this over and over trying to determine what was said and what she meant. Sounds like Sheila being Sheila. As Forrest Gump said, "Stupid is as stupid does."

So where does this leave us? I think the election of Sheila Dixon will help turn this city around 360 degrees. And what Baltimore City school-educated person doesn't like the sound of that?!!!
