Governor Larry Hogan first noticed the lump while shaving. One day it wasn’t there, the next you couldn’t miss it: a golf-ball-size mass bulging from his neck, just above his Adam’s apple.
“Honey,” the governor called to the first lady. “Take a look at this.”
It was Saturday, June 6, 2015, the final day of a trade mission to Asia, and the Hogans were in their hotel room in Tokyo preparing for the 14-hour flight home.
“Does it hurt?” the first lady asked.
It didn’t. But its size and sudden appearance were troubling, so the governor had it checked out Monday morning on his return to Annapolis. Doctors initially thought it might be only a cyst, but—just to be sure—a physician ordered an MRI. Hogan was alone in the doctor’s office, waiting for the results, when a radiologist, a general surgeon, and an ear-nose-and-throat specialist filed into the room together. “We have some bad news,” one of them said.

Joe, you put 2 of the most contrasting governors on the same page: Hogan the Great and O'Malley the Terrible.
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing the difference a few years make.
And look at the parallels in DC right now. New republican president coming in (like Maryland) after the Kool-aid drinkers realized they no longer liked the taste. If it wasn't for disenfranchised Democratic voters, none of them would be governor/president. And each of them by-passed the media and used social media to get the word out.
And the MSM JUST DOESN'T GET IT!!!!
Yes, the media is the opposition party.
