The SB2 Virus

Kevin E. Dayhoff

Last November the Maryland General Assembly inadvertently installed a “Trojan Virus,” now named “SB2,” on the critically important Maryland technology industry.


“To moratorium or not to moratorium…”

Alan Imhoff

Recently I had the opportunity to attend opening night of the Maryland Shakespeare Theater’s fast-paced, hilarious two hour production of the Bard’s complete works (abridged).

Presidential Elections Past

Roy Meachum

Registered Frederick County voters received a notice from the elections board last week: Enclosed was a list of candidates for federal jobs, including wannabe delegates to next summer's party conventions and the gang trying out for the Board of Education.


The Power of Weenie Numbers

Nick Diaz

In all my years of teaching middle school mathematics, I’ve been exposed to many an “impossible” problem which can be solved by studying the pattern involved. Some people have been endowed by our Creator with the ability to notice, recognize, and apply such patterns to solve given problems. Most people, however, must be taught these skills.

Trash, Manure, and Politics

Richard B. Weldon Jr.

No, the title of this piece is NOT a game of “which of three things is not like the other,” mostly because the differences are so insignificant.


John McCain Facing Forward

Steven R. Berryman

The Florida Republican Primary contest is now behind us and it certainly was a watershed event. John McCain won large. Rudy Giuliani bowed out afterward despite having wagered heavily in that state, chock-full of retirees from New York. This may have been the arena where McCain’s age was a trump card. What does he face going forward?

Another Jennifer Mess

Roy Meachum

Jennifer Dougherty and my columns have been through a lot. They supported her the first time she ran for mayor; then she thought she had the talents and temperament to make a good county commissioner. They sat out that one. In both instances, voters decided otherwise. The third time proved a charm although something else for other Fredericktonians.

State of the State Smoke & Mirrors

Chris Cavey

Recently Gov. Martin O’Malley delivered the State of the State address to the applause of a Democrat-dominated General Assembly. In case you missed it, the speech was about 40 minutes of infomercial to which the press paid little attention. Here are a couple of nice highlight.


Step Up To The Plate…

Joan McIntyre

Okay! This is a first for me, so bear with me and I'll do my best to keep you informed in a fair and balanced way. Yeah, right! Like I don't have any opinions. That will be the day. Those who know me are now spitting out coffee all over their computer. Those that don’t will learn soon I’m not shy about opinions.

Senator Robert Hooper – R.I.P.

Kevin E. Dayhoff

Last Thursday, former State Senator J. Robert Hooper, (R., Harford) passed away from colon cancer while surrounded by his family at his home in Street. He served in the Maryland Senate for nine years.

Bill Clinton a Drag

Roy Meachum

There are others out there: People who believed William Jefferson Clinton ranked some where close to Thomas Jefferson in ranking U.S. presidents by brain-power. I felt that way. Once again, the man is proving that intelligent does not equate to smart. His performance in his wife's campaign demonstrates how very dumb he can be.


A Labor of Love…

Farrell Keough

Breaking News: Group able to accomplish acquiring and building football field for local children without government help.

Presidential Wannabes – The Democratic Field

Richard B. Weldon Jr.

My last column dealing with the presidential race broke down the GOP field and offered worthless advice, but no less worthy than the advice being offered by big whig media pundits. This week, the fickle finger of foolishness is pointing at the Democratic Party presidential wannabes. They’d be wise to duck.

WE GET LETTERS!

WE GET LETTERS!!! An Adamstown resident takes issue with Roy Meachum's column, posted last Tuesday, on the upcoming Maryland primary. CLICK HERE!!! CLICK HERE!
