No O'Malley, you clown, this move doesn't demonstrate the strength of Maryland. What is does demonstrate in the demand for international travel by the only job sector experiencing growth. That sector being the government employee ticks seeking trips on the taxpayer's dime.
ReplyDeleteNo O'Malley, you clown! This move does not demonstrate the strength of the Maryland economy. What it does demonstrate is the demand placed on international travel by the only job sector experiencing growth, the federal employee ticks in suburban MD/DC. Traveling by the way on the taxpayer dime.
ReplyDeleteContrary to the average local yokel, some of us do travel to seattle and would rather fly from BWI rather than PHL. Alaska Airlines is a pleasure to fly and they don't do low altitude fly by's over the mall.
ReplyDeleteI'm in for a one way ticket! Washington is way ahead of Maryland in lower taxes, gun rights, human rights, and economic growth and jobs.
ReplyDeleteToo bad they will have to "bobtail" back to Maryland!
