Ring Around the Immigration Culprit

Tony Soltero

For all the constant talk about the immigration issue, it's amazing how shallow and superficial the discussion about it remains both locally and nationally.


What a Difference a Year Makes – Part 2

Kevin E. Dayhoff

In yesterday’s column I wrote that with the passage of this tax package by the General Assembly, there are now more than ever two Marylands: a rural Maryland that exists to provide quality of life and common sense for the other Maryland – the urbanized areas where reason and common sense have taken a holiday.

What a Difference a Year Makes – Part 1

Kevin E. Dayhoff

The ink had hardly dried on Gov. Martin O’Malley’s signature on November 19 when the peripatetic gerbils powering the Maryland media spin machines went into high gear.

Humor by Tom McLaughlin

Tom McLaughlin

There is a dire warning in a past issue of The Wall Street Journal. Does it foretell a major stock crash? Will the dollar sink below the Indonesian Rupiah, now trading at about 10,000 per?

Superbly Qualified for President

Roy Meachum

Politics' infection has not reached the center of my consciousness. As the Friday morning visits with WFMD Radio's Bob Miller demonstrate week after week, I believe there is much more to life than tracking officials and keeping tabs on wannabes.


10 Dumb Questions I Get – Part 2

Nick Diaz

In this space two weeks ago, I referred readers to three of the 10 dumbest questions that we of the motorcycling fraternity regularly field. In my 37 years on motorized two wheel contraptions, I’ve been asked all of these questions. So much so that I’ve developed some “smart-allecky” replies to them. We paused after Question #3, so now I’m continuing.

Exhaustion Begats Success

Richard B. Weldon Jr.

The special session is over, and the Thanksgiving break has given me much-needed physical and emotional separation from Annapolis, the State House, and the political process.

Church's New Dark Ages

Roy Meachum

"What are we, in the Dark Ages? This is absolutely ridiculous." That was a Baltimore Catholic woman's reaction to the news that the new archbishop had forced the resignation of her pastor.

Celebrate Family and Friends

Chris Cavey

Thanksgiving is a word that evokes many thoughts and memories for each of us. Some have the vision once pictured in elementary school, of Pilgrims and Indians seated at a wooden table piled with food and eyes cast skyward.

General Assembly Journal Special Session 2007 Part -3

Richard B. Weldon Jr.

No amount of prognostication could have seen the mess that this special session became. Called by Gov. Martin O’Malley to address the structural deficit, we found ourselves in the midst of a political test of wills between the House and Senate.


Taxarians at the Gate

Kevin E. Dayhoff

Happy Thanksgiving. We have so many things for which to be thankful. The first of which is our men and women in uniform who continue to perform admirably in difficult circumstances.


Christmas Difficulties

Tom McLaughlin

One of the hardest things during the Christmas season is deciding what to get the parents. I have just finished an article for the local Ocean City fish wrapper about infections in the elderly and I have some suggestions.

Another Political Cabal

Roy Meachum

In a curious way Jennifer Dougherty's dive back into election campaigning may be related to the example set by James E. McClellan. The ex-mayor could have been inspired by Frederick's former political boss.


Turkey and a Bitter Pill

Farrell Keough

With Thanksgiving quickly approaching, it is a time of reflection for us all. Family, friends, health, rights, and many other freedoms we enjoy and should be thankful to have in this most incredible of nations. Only because we were fortunate enough to have God’s blessing and be born in this country do we have the bounty of these privileges and the freedoms that accompany them.
