Child Porn Suspect Dead in Sykesville

It's not often that Carroll County makes the national news.  And when it does, it's usually not good.

Today I noticed one of the top stories on CNN was that a former GOP aide accused of possessing child pornography was found dead.  When I clicked on the article, I realized that the news was reported by the Carroll County Sheriff Department.  Oh, boy.

Apparently, the suspect, a former aide to Lamar Alexander, the Republican Senator from Tennessee, was identified by his IP address as distributing child pornography.  The suspect was found hung in his parent's basement in Sykesville.  Two terrible incidents for those parents.

Come on, Carroll County!  Let's make the news for good reasons!

It's A Small World After All

On Friday, Republican Delegate Robert A. McKee resigned his seat as the delegate from Washington County after authorities searched his home and confiscated his computer.

The FBI's cyber crime unit entered his house with a warrant and seized the said computer. Everyone knows that when the FBI seizes your computer, it's because of child porn. McKee did not initially admit to the wrong-doing, only saying that he was getting help.

What the FBI's cyber crime unit will find on former Delegate McKee's computer is an email from me. One of my other past-times is writing biographies for Republicans on Wikipedia. I sent him an email asking him if he could provide me with his high school because it was not listed on his Wikipedia page, which I subsequently found to be South Hagerstown High School. I never heard from him, but apparently he was busy doing other things.

Here's a little hint to politicians - when you get elected, everything you do is observed, monitored, and investigated. If you have skeletons in your closet (Mr. Hoyer), then you need to do the right thing and step down immediately before you embarrass yourself and your state or country and your party.
