George Bush couldn't come up with a plan to remove himself off his own toilet, much less get our boys home, and all I've heard from you is that the Dems have no plan for nothing.

You voted for them, but have dogged them out. The highest level of hypocricy.

This is certainly an exciting event, regardless of your party. This, my friends, is democracy in action. The people have spoken.

But to all you Maryland folk who decided to vote for that [!@#$%^&*] O'Malley for governor, I hope you all get to eat crow as O'Malley plunges the state into oblivion just as he did the city, lol. That was the ONLY race I really cared about, so I'm bitter as hell. :(

But oh well. Congratulations to all the winners (except O'Malley of course).

My golly what is wrong with the reply function on this board. Oh well. And that quote got rid of my expletive. How sad.

Yes he's that bad.

1) But 2 years ago, the city school system nearly went bankrupt, having to be loaned a great deal of money. The state even had to take over a few of the schools. Of course it doesn't help when one of O'Malley's cronies steals $3.3 million from the schools. Baltimore city gets the most funding for public schools in the state. Yet where my brothers went to school, they ran out of paper half-way through the school year. And we were in one of the best schools in the city. Carroll County, which gets the lowest amount of funding, has the best schools in the state reportedly.

2) Crime is up and Baltimore, for a great deal of O'Malley's tenure, was #2 on the most dangerous cities list. Throughout his tenure he has gone through many police commissioners, including Ed Norris, who was convicted for mishandling funds for trips to Europe with other women.

I'm sure I can think of more later. Of course, some of these problems are Erlich's fault. And Erlich certainly has his bad points. He mishandled the BGE rate hike situation and could still do more for the bay. But he has kept the budget balanced and with a surplus.

By the way, if Chris Matthews mispronounces Missouri again, I'm gonna smack him, and I'm not even *from* the place.

Dan, that's a damn shame. You just don't know how the electorate will vote, and for whatever reason. I feel for ya, bud. But your firs post just had me rolling this morning. I just had to let you know. Brutal honesty is sometimes the funniest.

I am, and IA. How you can put an A on the end of MissourI is beyond me. But, Matthews is such a damn tool anyway. To see how Joe Scarborough lambasted him was a thing of beauty.

Steve, that is fine if you can't stand Ford. Corker irks me to no end, and I am pissed he won and not because he is Republican. His ads and debates really put me off, Ford dominated him in debates. Yes, I dont fully trust Ford either because his family is well known for fraudulant happenings, but I like what he said way more than Corker.

Ford got a lot of high praise for this campaign and will have to be reckoned with in the future.

I am so glad Corker won and Ford lost!

Ford is indeed a member of a corrupt political family and we don't need that! Uncle John and Aunt Ophelia is an embarrasment for Tennessee. Ford ran as a conservative Democrat while his votes in the congress resemble a Kennedy democrat. He either lied on the campaign trail or he lied in Washington.

I have family from Chattanooga.Democrats who have nothing but praise for their former mayor.

    • I liked when Felicia was over the top and was more Felicia the writer than Felicia the mother figure. Personal taste as always. For me, Felicia was AW to me. She was one of the few constants on a show that was constantly changing.  RIP Denise Alexander. I always liked her on the show despite her storyline never reaching its full potential. The sad thing is I would watch that storyline in a second over so much of what happened on AW from 1986 onwards. Strangely, youtube recommended a AW episode to me last night that involved Mary comforting Scott about Dawn. I really do wish they had found a way to make those two characters work long term.

    • Yes, I like him too. He is a good actor, and I agree with your comments about his personality. I also want to add, I think that he comes across as realistic and IMO sane. Yeah, he's done some bad things, but he seems pretty in control for the most part and not the least bit crazy. I appreciate that type of behavior in someone who can behave like a villain. And I continue to buy that he really does love his daughters. Unlike Leslie who seems to only use and mistreat Eva, I have seen Bill soften when it comes to his daughters. And I do believe he would do what he felt he had to do to protect them. His love for his children, helps make him more layered as a character. I really enjoyed his scenes with Dani today. I enjoyed the show today. I thought that the scenes with Nicole being comforted by both her parents including them switching out to comfort her were sweet and cute. I particularly enjoyed her scenes with Vernon. I love her relationship with her parents. I also liked Tomas/Eva scenes. He genuinely seems to care about her, and I am interested in seeing how things will play out between them and him and Kat.
    • Dani really got on my nerves. Her own life is a total disaster, yet she interferes with everyone else's. What could she possibly say to Ted that will change anything? That will help anyone? And as you said, while she bashes Bill, she wants him back -- all the while knowing who he is and who he's been for years. None of these scenes are pushing me to appreciate Dani. -- OTOH, Bill got some very good shots in at Dani. He won that face-off. -- June is just a ball of cliches and stereotypes to this point. I hope this goes somewhere. -- Martin flies off the handle much too easily, but I did appreciate that he grew calm and subdued, and even sad, with Ted. -- I'm glad Tomas is pretty, because damn, that acting. -- I'm glad Derek looks so good in tight jeans, because damn, that acting. -- LMAO at Leslie gaining entrance to Nicole's house because Nicole wanted the front door ajar so Door Dash could leave her takeout.

    • No, we would really do it.  Those pix were so famous! In early May 1970 Susan introduced Doug Williams to Julie. Her intent was evil. But, it backfired on her. Doug & Julie fell in love. Everyone knows the rest of this story.
    • Doesn't matter if its off topic. No need to point it out. Things will get back on topic soon enough. They always do . . . And I do love the off topic photos from the Bill Bell era!  So thanks.

          Thank you. I didn't realize there was confusion. You cleared it up.  It is more than crazy that this whole conversation is off-topic.
    • Sure!  And we promise, Mr Corday -- we will ridicule those wonderful old episodes daily on social media.   NOT!   
    • "To give her child a name" just means to make the child legitimate and be able to take the father's surname.
