Standing in line in the Rosenberg Gallery, (the Gallery makes up the lobby for the Kraushaar Auditorium at Goucher College) I was waiting for a friend. A friend I had made just two weeks earlier at the same venue, while listening to former General Counsel of the U.S. Navy, Alberto Mora. I was one person […]

I Have Seen The Future Of Harford, And It’s Going To Snow! A Recent History Of The City of Aberdeen’s Internet Presence
“Has hell finally frozen over?” That was my first thought when visiting the City of Aberdeen’s new web site.

“Take Your Child To Work Day” gets a no go from Superintendent Haas
“Take Your child To Work Day”… seems like an easy concept. I can remember as a child I looked forward to the fact that my mom, a speech pathologist in the school system, would take my sisters and I to work on that special day. The whole day was so cool right down to eating […]

Del. McDonough: Illegals Gain Power
Maryland continues to become the worst state in the nation in terms of protecting its citizens against the invasion of illegal aliens.

The Governor and General Assembly leaders support the legislative agenda of CASA of Maryland and other pro-illegal proponents. Once […]
Packing Heat and Painting Keisters: The Paintballer’s Guide to Vengeance
Picture your “favorite” politician in his bulging green Under Armour, protecting his house. Or a boss that just doesn’t seem to listen, let alone care. Picture the ignorant speedster who just cut you off on I-95 south, cell phone permanently affixed to their ear. Picture for just a moment, anyone who has wronged you or […]
