Fatal Accident On Rt. 50
A vehicle heading East bound on Rt. 50, crossing over near the Shorebirds Stadium to pick up the Bypass was struck by another vehicle and the passenger in the vehicle that was struck has been pronounced dead.
There's been a serious backup for the past hour. Sorry Folks, I've been away from the computer for a little while today. There may be more to come......
Salisbury News Makes Big Announcement
Salisbury News is just a few comments away from publishing our 250,000th Comment. That's right, this is an accomplishment no other publication on the Eastern Shore can discuss because no one has ever come close to these kind of numbers.That being said, THANK YOU Folks! Because YOU are participating, YOU are making a difference. Because so many are coming to Salisbury News, we are now welcome just about anywhere and everywhere with open arms. (you'll learn more about this in a week or so)
I was in a conversation earlier today discussing the Candidate Interviews. They said, Norm Conway would have never done an interview with you in the past Joe but now he HAS TO. He went on to say, he doesn't have a choice any more.
While we're honored someone like Norm Conway and every other Candidate took the time to express their platform, we don't ever want to be in the position where someone MUST do something. However, its because people like YOU who come to SBYNews.com and publish comments, finally, our politicians are now made accountable.
5 years ago the "other side" of the story was never told. Even when we started telling the "other side", many didn't want to believe it. Today, it's a whole new ball game, again, because of YOU.
A quarter of a million comments, that's just remarkable Folks. We thank you for participating and helping us to change the way things are said and done here on the Eastern Shore. Have a great weekend Folks.

OK, here's the deal. If you use the Maryland Case Search link below it will take you to this guys criminal history. I have provided just a small example of what we're dealing with as a community. HOWEVER, as I rarely ever challenge the judicial system, I'm going to do so, two fold.
Number one, why did it take Joel Todd almost an entire year before he charged this guy with child pornography? BECAUSE ITS AN ELECTION YEAR! More importantly, (secondly) why are Judges these days NOT seeing the writing on the wall with these kind of criminals? We have experienced some of the most horrific crimes the Eastern Shore has ever seen, perhaps even in the history of America. Doctor Bradley in Delaware who allegedly raped hundreds of infants and young children and then Thomas Leggs who was released time and time again only to be arrested and charged with the murder of Sarah Foxwell.
Now I'm no Judge and I'm no States Attorney but I am raising a small child and scumbags like Kirt Greenburg need to be taken a whole lot more serious than they are as we have seen the end result of the judicial system not working for us. The system is clearly broken but I say, shame on Joel Todd for NOT charging this man IMMEDIATELY and waiting until election time to bring forth such a case. OUR children have been at risk for almost a year for his convenience.
Again, there's a criminal history that goes into a second page on this guy that clearly spells out the trouble he's seen with the law over many years. There's a pattern here and I personally believe it needs proper attention.

Ehrlich-Kane Campaign Exceeds Fundraising Goal, Shows Strong Momentum Heading Into Fall Campaign
ANNAPOLIS – More than 13,000 donors – 96 percent of whom reside in Maryland – contributed $3.2 million to the Ehrlich-Kane ticket for the reporting period ending August 10th, putting Bob Ehrlich and Mary Kane in a virtual dead heat with the O’Malley-Brown campaign for the period. The Ehrlich campaign exceeded its goal of $3 million raised for the period.
“It is truly humbling that so many Marylanders of all political parties would embrace our plan to get Maryland working again with more jobs, lower taxes, and less spending,” said Ehrlich. “We built a campaign operation from scratch just four months ago, yet ran virtually neck and neck with the incumbent in this fundraising period. The results reinforce what we hear in every community: Marylanders are embracing our positive, ideas-driven vision for Maryland and rejecting my opponent’s attack ads and cynicism.”
The percent of in-state donations and small dollar donations is a strong confirmation that the Ehrlich-Kane ticket’s momentum is fueled by working Marylanders, not powerful interests or out-of-state donors. The O’Malley–Brown campaign has thus far refused to release their percent of small dollar donors or out-of-state donors.
Ehrlich-Kane Campaign Finance Report Facts:
· More than 96 percent of all contributions are from Maryland
· The Ehrlich campaign has in excess of $2 million in the bank
· 14,730 donors made 22,150 contributions to the campaign since January, 2007
· Since April, the campaign received 18,267 contributions from 13,335 donors
· 63 percent of the donations were under $50 and 65 percent were less than $100
· 36 percent of the donors are first time Ehrlich donors
· Since April, the average donation is $171
· Mary Kane for Maryland reports $11,000 in donations
PA Violence Continues; Direct Talks Reported To Be Near
Palestinian Authority Arab terrorist groups have stepped up their attacks in Judea and Samaria as pressure over Israel-PA negotiations increases and rumors swirl regarding an impending move to direct talks.
Two IDF soldiers and a civilian woman were wounded in rock-throwing attacks in the past week. In other such attacks, vehicles were damaged but the passengers escaped injury. In one such case, a driver escaped unscathed despite being targeted by a barrage of Molotov cocktails; the vehicle was damaged.
PA officials recently admitted that Chairman Mahmoud Abbas is under intense pressure to agree to direct negotiations with Israel. Abbas has demanded that Israel freeze construction east of the 1949 armistice line and agree to use the line as the base for negotiations on the borders of a PA state. Only when Israel concedes will the PA begin talks, he says.
This week, two reports appeared to suggest that Israel is under pressure to agree to Abbas's demands. On Friday, the London-based Arabic daily Al-Hayyat reported that Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has agreed to give Abbas 90% of Judea and Samaria for the establishment of a PA state, and to forcibly expel the roughly 50,000 Jews living in the area.
Netanyahu's office has denied the report.
Meanwhile, Reuters reported that Abbas may agree to direct talks if Netanyahu agrees to a PA state with borders based on the 1949 armistice line – an agreement that would leave the PA with all of Judea and Samaria and much of Jerusalem, including the Old City and other historically Jewish neighborhoods such as Shiloach (Silwan) and Shimon Hatzaddik.
The Reuters report was based on a letter written by European Union representative Catherine Ashton. Ashton allegedly said that Abbas would agree to direct talks next week if Israel gives in to his demand.

Immigration Chief: 'We're Going To Get This Right'
The federal government has deported more illegal immigrants from the U.S. than ever before, the director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said Thursday as part of an effort to push back on the suggestion Washington isn't doing enough.
"For those who doubt the federal government's resolve in the enforcement of immigration law, let me say this: We are committed to strong, effective immigration enforcement, and the facts speak for themselves," ICE Director John Morton said.
He said his agency removed a record 380,000 illegal immigrants from the U.S. last fiscal year, and about a third of them were convicted criminals. So far this fiscal year, ICE removed 136,000 illegal immigrants who are convicted criminals, also a record, Morton said.
"Is there more work to be done? Absolutely. Is the problem a significant one, a challenging one for the nation? Absolutely," he said. But "we're in this for the long haul. ... We're going to get this right."
Border staffing also is at an all-time high, and will only increase under a $600 million plan by President Barack Obama to put more agents and equipment along the Mexican border, Morton said.
The measure would fund the hiring of 1,000 new Border Patrol agents to be deployed at critical areas along the border, 250 more Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, and 250 more Customs and Border Protection officers.
From politicians to average residents, many in Arizona and elsewhere say the federal government isn't doing its job despite the increased efforts and deportations.

Ocean Pines Shenanigans
Hey Joe -
Thought you might want to hear the latest in the never-ending political saga of Ocean Pines. It seems that the OP Board of Directors fired our GM last week, giving little to no reason in the press release (as one would expect).
This week we get an email saying that one of the Board Members is taking over as GM, signing a one-year contract, closing his financial planning business to do so.
Isn't this a huge conflict of interest?

Ehrlich Camp Now Dodging Brian Murphy
FYI - I am not connected with either candidate - (Ehrlich or Murphy). I am simply a political observer.
As a freelance journalist for Salisbury News - my general observation as the September primary approaches is that Ehrlich's campaign is loosing steam. Brian Murphy's platform of exposing Ehrlich's track record is now taking its toll on each passing day.
If Ehrlich does manage to prevail through the September primary I predict he will be DOA - (dead on arrival) - on the General election date - as most conservative republicans will then flee to O'Malley.
Simply put - there is not much difference in either candidate as both can be deemed to be liberal.

Extreme Moneyball
Frank and Jamie McCourt blustered their way into a dream life of mansions, jets, and ownership of the L.A. Dodgers. The dream is dying hard
Jamie McCourt's Beverly Hills offices—also known as Jamie Enterprises—are as tastefully understated as the yellow sundress she was wearing on a recent August afternoon. The wall behind her desk is filled with baseball caps, arranged neatly in rows, and photos of her at the Obama inauguration are prominently placed. She pulls out a tribute video from happier days, before her husband of 30 years, Frank McCourt, fired her as chief executive officer of the Los Angeles Dodgers baseball team: Vin Scully, the team's legendary announcer, praises her "brains and energy"; Tommy Lasorda says "she does a wonderful job"; and the dean of UCLA's business school gushes that she is a role model for women who is a "gorgeous, energetic, smart, brilliant person." Jamie is shown hugging players and her sons, and swimming her morning laps at the McCourts' Beverly Hills mansion. At the end, the petite, now 56-year-old blonde says to the camera: "There's that myth about having it all at one time. I don't think that's true, but you can have a lot."

“Outsider” Rob Fisher Caught In The Act!
Rob Fisher, the “beltway bandit” who has amassed a small fortune sucking at the federal teat wants your vote. He’s running for the GOP nod to challenge Rep. Frank Kratovil (D-MD) against Maryland Senator Andy Harris (R-7).
Fisher claims to be an “outsider”. He’s an outsider alright! He didn’t even have a residence in Maryland until AFTER he filed his papers to run for office!
Paul West’s piece in this morning’s Baltimore Sun provides an excellent glimpse into Fisher’s character and why he isn’t worthy of our votes.
Sorry, Kid, First-Borns Really Are Smarter

Previously Unknown Obama Stepsister Dies
Raises question of whether president adopted by Indonesian stepfather
A previously unknown stepsister of Barack Obama died unexpectedly earlier this year.
Internet researchers made the link between the president and his previously undisclosed stepsister, Holiyah "Lia" Soetoro Sobah, after translating from obituaries published in Indonesia. She died Feb. 26.
The obituaries identified Lia as having been adopted by Lolo Soetoro, Obama's stepfather, and Ann Dunham Obama Soetoro, the president's mother.
The surfacing of Lia as an adopted child of Lolo Soetoro and Dunham raises the question of whether Barack Obama himself might have been adopted officially as Lolo Soetoro's stepson while in Indonesia from 1967 to 1971.
Even though Obama makes no mention in "Dreams from My Father" of having had an Indonesian stepsister, the Indonesian obituaries make clear that Obama slept in the same room as his stepsister while the two of them grew up together in the Soetoro home in Jakarta.

TARP Billions Shipped Overseas Can't Halt Global Slowdown
Economists and conservatives reacted sharply Thursday to reports that tens of billions in TARP bailout money flowed out of the United States and into the coffers of big banks in France, Germany, and other nations during the government rescue of the U.S. financial system.
That news came as the U.S. economic picture continued to worsen, with rising unemployment claims and a surge in U.S. homes lost to foreclosure.
CATO Institute budget analyst Tad DeHaven tells Newsmax: “The economy has become increasingly global, so it’s not shocking that TARP bailout money ended up at foreign financial institutions. Nonetheless, bailing out U.S. financial firms was bad enough — that foreign institutions also benefitted from the largesse just adds insult to injury.”
J.D. Foster, senior economics fellow at The Heritage Foundation, said: "The overwhelming force slowing the economy down now is a lack of confidence among American businesses and consumers. The primary reason for that lack of confidence is the policies out of Washington seem completely out of touch with that reality."

Some Candidates Just Have No Class Whatsoever
While Julie Brewington might think she's being "cute" and funny, shoving your sign in front of your opponent just pisses off voters more than anything else. Did you butt into line when you were a kid Julie? My guess is, yes.Local Counties, (around D.C.) Deter Crime Despite Budget Cuts
WASHINGTON - When unemployment is up and police officers are down, crime rates should follow. Or at least, that's what pop psychology might suggest.
"We've seen crime go down in many categories," says Thomas Manger, police chief in Montgomery County, "and we've lost 48 police officer positions in the last three years."
While noting fewer officers has not resulted in more crime, Manger says it has affected how they pursue cases.
"What it has done is limit our ability to react to those crime trends," he says.

Turns Out Walmart Is Quietly Raising Prices
Everyday low prices just got a little higher. A JPMorgan Chase study of a Virginia Walmart (hey, it's a big store, you gotta just pick one to do a decent survey of its inventory) found that in the past six weeks the retailer raised prices on average of 6%, but on some products, as high as 60%.

Federal Workers Earning Double Their Private Counterparts
At a time when workers' pay and benefits have stagnated, federal employees' average compensation has grown to more than double what private sector workers earn, a USA TODAY analysis finds.
Federal workers have been awarded bigger average pay and benefit increases than private employees for nine years in a row. The compensation gap between federal and private workers has doubled in the past decade.
Federal civil servants earned average pay and benefits of $123,049 in 2009 while private workers made $61,051 in total compensation, according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis. The data are the latest available.
The federal compensation advantage has grown from $30,415 in 2000 to $61,998 last year.
Public employee unions say the compensation gap reflects the increasingly high level of skill and education required for most federal jobs and the government contracting out lower-paid jobs to the private sector in recent years.

Andy Harris Press Release
I hate to start off with bad news for America, but the House of Representatives voted Tuesday to pass a $26 billion “stimulus” bill. It amazes me that Congress made a special trip to Washington to spend more money, not to pass a budget or extend tax cuts that are about to expire. The bill even includes a $10 billion tax increase in the middle of a recession! Nonsensical legislation like this is the reason Maryland needs someone in Washington that will oppose Nancy Pelosi’s job-killing ways and stand up for American families and businesses.Andy Around Town
It’s been a great week on the campaign trail! Saturday, I went to the Blessing of the Combines in Snow Hill and got to ride a John Deere in the Parade of Combines! The festival was filled with antique farm equipment, local organizations, and is an amazing tradition that highlights the importance of the agriculture community on the Eastern Shore. I met people at the Caroline-Dorchester County Fair and the Triple Play GOP Picnic in Anne Arundel County. It was a beautiful Saturday to travel the District!
Last Wednesday, I spoke to the Associated Guns Club of Baltimore in Baltimore County. They have over 60 acres of conservation land that is used for gun education and safety training. The members know how important Second Amendment rights are to this country. They need someone in Washington to represent them and what they stand for. Also this week I spent the day in Easton, went to the Queen Anne’s County Fair, and sign-waved in Baltimore, Anne Arundel, and Queen Anne’s Counties.
Breakfast With Andy
We have two Breakfast With Andy events coming up: Baltimore County, this Saturday - August 14th - at the Silver Spring Mining Company in Cockeysville and the following Saturday – August 21st – in Cecil County at Bentley’s Restaurant on Pulaski Hwy. Both begin at 8:30 am and cost $10 per person.
Calling all Volunteers
If you’d like to volunteer for the campaign, please contact Courtney at 410-609-3829 or courtney@andyharris.com. We’d love to have you on board!
I hope you have a wonder and safe weekend!

Delegate Addie Eckardt Announces Mid Shore Cycle Tour
Delegate Addie Eckardt announced today that she will be touring the MidShore by bicycle beginning August 26. She will travel the four counties in legislative District 37B to highlight the uniqueness of the counties, their rich beauty, history and cultural eco tourism and feature the small towns. “Our small towns have to adhere to the same laws and regulations as our larger cities without comparable resources” said Eckardt. “These communities depend on volunteers for fire and emergency services and financial assistance from various groups and organizations for cultural heritage and historical buildings and sites.” I have supported many projects over the years that preserve not only our heritage but our economy as well. As we plan for the future, let’s take advantage of our environment and history and build on our existing treasures.
As an avid biker and nurse Delegate Eckardt advocates exercise as an essential prevention of disease and approach to weight control. Our district is ideal for outside activities like cycling- especially in the early morning.

Eric Wargotz Praises Passage Of Border Bill As Good First Step
Wargotz supports increased action to Secure Our Borders
Annapolis - Today, Eric Wargotz M.D., a candidate for the United States Senate in Maryland, praised the passage of the "Border Bill" that provides $600 million in new funding to increase security along the border with Mexico. "We must secure our borders and this bill helps accomplish that." Wargotz said. The bill includes money for 1500 new border patrol agents, 2 unmanned drones, and military-style bases along the border.
"While this bill is a good first step, we have much more work to do to secure our borders." Wargotz added. "For thirty-four years Senator Mikulski has failed to secure our borders. It is time for new leadership."
Wargotz supports increasing the number of border patrol agents, expanding the use of technology to assist the border patrol, and building a fence to secure our borders.
