December 15, 2010
Fruitcake is forever 
Kevin E. Dayhoff
I’m not a psychic and I have never read much of the work of Michel de Nostredame. However, as December stumbles to a close and writers begin to run out of evergreen material on the Top 10 best uses for fruitcake, or do Christmas trees have a soul, our keyboards will often drift aimlessly to the real meaning of the past year and what the heck will happen next.

December 8, 2010
Historic Changes in Carroll County 
Kevin E. Dayhoff
On Monday, Carroll County’s first five-member Board of Commissioners took the oath of office: Robin Frazier, Haven Shoemaker, Dave Rous, Richard Rothschild, and Doug Howard.

December 1, 2010
The Republican Farm Team 
Kevin E. Dayhoff
In the days following the November 2 state and national midterm elections, pundits have superficially opined at great length as to the depth and meaning of the phoenix-like resurgence of the Republican Party on the national level.

November 24, 2010
Thanksgivings’ Traditions – Past and Present 
Kevin E. Dayhoff
Today, historians bicker over when and where the first Thanksgiving took place in America; and pundits opine upon its meaning. According to some, the roots of our American Thanksgiving tradition began when 102 Pilgrims left Plymouth, England, in July 1620 to escape religious persecution.

November 18, 2010
Immigration Reform 
Kevin E. Dayhoff
The new Congress may have a better chance at enacting comprehensive immigration reform than the Democrat-controlled Congress of the last two-years and since the election of President Barack Obama.

November 17, 2010
Arizona Boycott: The Other Side 
Kevin E. Dayhoff
“I’m glad you are not boycotting Arizona,” observed New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson last Saturday at a breakfast presentation at the Capitolbeat statehouse reporters’ annual conference in downtown Phoenix, AZ.

November 10, 2010
“Truth will out…” 
Kevin E. Dayhoff
Now that the 2010 Maryland gubernatorial election is mercifully over, many have already begun setting their sights on the upcoming session of the Maryland General Assembly.

November 3, 2010
Obama’s apocalyptic midterm malaise 
Kevin E. Dayhoff
The euphoria of November 2008 and January 21, 2009, is a distant memory as even the most rabid supporters of President Barack Obama resort to their favorite spin machinery and demagoguery to digest the 2010-midterm elections.

October 27, 2010
Juan Williams: The Victim 
Kevin E. Dayhoff
Please add my voice to the hue and cry over National Public Radio (NPR) abrupt firing of the award-winning liberal commentator, author, and journalist, Juan Williams, last Wednesday.

October 20, 2010
Patch in the Newsroom 
Kevin E. Dayhoff
If all politics is local, certainly the same thing can be said for the news. In an era when more often than not, your local newspaper is owned by some conglomerate a half a continent away; and the journalists that make decisions that affect you on a daily basis have no clue as to where your community is on the map. Now comes another experiment in news delivery – Patch.

October 13, 2010
Hold A Constitutional Convention? 
Kevin E. Dayhoff
Unbeknownst to most Marylanders, this November 2 you have the chance of a lifetime. No, I’m not just referring to whether you wish to continue the public policies and governance of the Gov. Martin O’Malley or try a different approach with former Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich, Jr.

October 6, 2010
A Return to a Forgotten Past 
Kevin E. Dayhoff
A discussion on civility has been the subject of civilized society since the beginnings of language and the written word.

September 29, 2010
Maryland’s Sound and Fury 
Kevin E. Dayhoff
The Maryland gubernatorial general election is a little over a month away and jobs, taxes, business climate, the cost of utilities, and the economy are continuing to take center stage in this election’s signal-to-noise ratio as critical issues.

September 22, 2010
Fight Coming Over Highway User Revenue 
Kevin E. Dayhoff
Municipalities throughout Maryland are currently considering the passage of a resolution that calls for the state to restore the draconian cuts in Highway User Revenue and State Aid for Police Protection to local towns and cities imposed by the current administration in Annapolis in order to balance the state budget.

September 15, 2010
The 100 percenters and the seethers 
Kevin E. Dayhoff
Now that Maryland’s primary election is over and the general election is only six-plus weeks away, I only have one question left for some candidates and single issues interest groups: Is there anyone left you can annoy – friends, family, poisonous reptiles?

September 8, 2010
Recovery Summer – NOT 
Kevin E. Dayhoff
Conservative populist political pundits have predicted that Republicans will do well in the fast-approaching midterm elections, and, to a great extent, even the most cursory examination of history indicates such a prediction is a safe bet.

September 1, 2010
A Curious Tale of Unequal Treatment 
Kevin E. Dayhoff
As the 2010 Maryland gubernatorial contest muddles-on, comes the curious tale of two tragic incidences at separate juvenile justice system facilities, with two profoundly different results during the administration of Gov. Martin O’Malley.

August 25, 2010
So far, no silver bullet 
Kevin E. Dayhoff
Various polls of the Maryland gubernatorial contest continue to show incumbent Gov. Martin O'Malley and his Republican opponent, former-Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich, Jr., in a statistical tie should the election be held today.

August 18, 2010
Remembering Mike Eaton 
Kevin E. Dayhoff
Almost everyone can reminisce back to the days of their youth and recall the influence of a favorite childhood teacher. For me, I loved school and I have a number of favorite teachers; however, the first among many may very well be my 12th-grade English teacher, William Granville (“Mike”) Eaton.
