Nicolas Sarkozy’s Desperate Campaign

Roy Meachum

France’s ban against Muslim women wearing a face veil went into effect Monday. I’m flabbergasted that this was made into an anti-Islam move.

Opening Day

Joe Charlebois

As the local teams had their opening day ceremonies at Staley Field here in Frederick and the Keys opened up on a rainy night, here’s a glimpse of Opening Day from a different perspective.

Debt: The Citizen’s Conundrum

Patricia A. Kelly

In “Of Public Credit,” written approximately 250 years ago, David Hume wrote: “Contracting debt will almost infallibly be abused in every government. It would scarcely be more imprudent to give a prodigal son a credit in every banker’s shop in London, than to empower a statesman to draw bills on posterity.”

Sine Die, Thankfully

Chris Cavey

Mercifully at midnight Monday the gavel banged on the podium and the Maryland General Assembly adjourned Sine Die. The 428th session will be recorded as one of the most invasive sessions for taxpayer and the most directionless session for Gov. Martin O’Malley and the Democrat leadership to date.

Commmissioner's Introductory Remarks at Budget Hearing

Blaine R. Young

On December 1, 2010, this Board of County Commissioners began its term in office with an $11.8 million budget deficit for Fiscal Year 2012 and with a $31 million base structural deficit. With the consent of the commissioners, a Budget Review Committee was quickly established.

The “New” American Civil War

Kevin E. Dayhoff

At 4:30 A.M. on Friday, April 12, 1861, the first shots of the American Civil War were fired at Fort Sumter, in the Charleston, SC harbor. We’ve been fighting the Civil War ever since.

Libya: In Your Face

Norman M. Covert

Apparently the “Buck…” touted by President Barack Obama, stops in Libya, not in the Oval Office. Col. Moammar Gadhafi continues to be in Mr. Obama’s face, surviving both rebels and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Joint Task Force. Reports of his impending demise are apparently exaggerated.

Free Speech

Roy Meachum

TheTentacle.com Editor John Ashbury related once again a conservative asking why he publishes my “liberal” columns. He answered, as always: he believes in free speech as set forth in the Constitution’s First Amendment. I agree.

Pointing Out The Problems

Nick Diaz

Myths tend to perpetuate themselves. One such legend is the one about how every child in the United States has a right to a good public education. Perhaps that one is particularly stubborn because it once was true, or at least mostly true. Not so much anymore, it seems.

The Road to Victory – For Whom?

Shawn Burns

Everyone can breathe a sigh of relief. Our noble leaders have averted a shutdown of the federal government with their last minute budget agreement.

Idiocracy: Congress, the President, and the federal budget

Richard B. Weldon Jr.

New York Democratic Sen. Charles (Chuck) Schumer brought the kind of clarity to the current FY 11 federal budget debate that had been missing for the last several months. Remember, all this talk of shutting down the federal government over an inability to reach agreement on a continuing funding mechanism should have been resolved last September.

RetrO-bama Econometrics

Steven R. Berryman

Having feelings of nostalgia for Jimmy Carter recently? Probably not, as the mind tends to forget the bad and concentrate on the good; we can only call it déjà-vu now, in Spring 2011, of a time best forgotten, when America diluted.

“Roses are red. Violets are blue….”

Michael Kurtianyk

According to the Academy of American Poets’ website (www.poets.org): “National Poetry Month is now held every April, when… libraries, schools and poets around the country band together to celebrate poetry and its vital place in American culture.”

“Hell Bent for Breakfast”

Roy Meachum

The low turnout Tuesday in Thurmont was in some ways inexplicable. The commissioners took their budget show to the northern part of the county.

Going, Going…..Gone?

Joe Charlebois

The Frederick Keys have been a fixture in Frederick since 1989. Most of the fans who attend Keys games have never known a summer without them. They were born either after the Keys’ arrival in town or have moved into the area since.

Explore Carroll: EAGLE ARCHIVE: Civil War came to Westminster three times during the 1860s

Kevin Dayhoff @ExploreCarroll: EAGLE ARCHIVE: Civil War came to Westminster three times during the 1860s http://t.co/6

Last Tuesday marked the 150th anniversary of the first shots fired in the American Civil War -- at 4:30 a.m. on Friday, April 12, 1861, at Fort Sumter, in the Charleston, S.C., harbor.

It may be argued that the war between the states began as early as 1619, when African slaves first arrived in Jamestown, Va… http://www.explorecarroll.com/opinion/5351/civil-war-came-westminster-three-times-during-1860s/
