Just off the wire, and non-attribution, have heard that the Somerset County Commissioners have appointed Sam Boston, currently a County Commissioner, to replace the departing County Manager, Dan Powell (another story in itself). Sam put his name in last time for this position and lost in a "competitive" scenario to Powell, however, didn't even resign his Commissioner's position before doing so.. Do not know the County regulations for filling this "Top County Position", but certainly, regulations must require advertising the job and selecting the BEST qualified?
Sam's background was reportedly with the telephone company, where he pulled wire! The County Manager supervises a rather large organization whose budget is over $50 million!, so in essence, Sam was "appointed" to run a $50 million dollar business with a background of what?? It's the "GOOD OLD BOY NETWORK" on display in Somerset County once again. Sam's Commissioner slot will then have to be back filled, wonder what further pearls of wisdom will result from that selection?

Some Cases Are Better Off In Circuit Court
While I can understand why many of you would be confused, (especially with the Daily Times lack of reporting) as to why this case would be dropped. The best answer I can give you, (after speaking to the States Attorneys Office) is to try the case in Circuit Court. The case was being tried in District Court today and the strategy was wrong.
So relax, don't go on the warpath on this particular case. I'm confident Mr. Cox will soon see his day in Court. Some will understand where I'm going with this but many will not. You'll just have to take my word on it that justice will be served. It just not going to be today.

Captain Obama ... Is It Time For A Black Comic Book Superhero?
Barack Obama has appeared in at least two comic series since his arrival on the national stage.

Less Girl Scout Cookies In A Box This Year
The Girls Scouts have announced that because of the economy, fewer cookies will be packaged into boxes of Thin Mints, Do-si-dos, and Tagalongs. It gets worse. The Lemon Chalet Creme cookies are getting smaller, too.
Perhaps they can give out a cheapskate patch to boot. GO HERE to see what cookies are available this year.
"Breastaurants" A Recession Proof Business
Geoff Williams
Jan 26th 2009
Hooters is finally seeing some competition.
Turns out some restaurant entrepreneurs are realizing that what Hooters has on offer (good food, served by pretty, buxom young women), is a recipe for success, even in the current economic environment. Restaurants like Twin Peaks and Bone Daddy's, both of whom only hire women to serve food, are opening new restaurants and growing in an otherwise, er, flat market.
I wouldn't know this because I'm married, and of course, haven't any opinions on this, but these are women who are apparently, upon sight, able to make grown men drool and stammer like cavemen. And order lots and lots of meat-based entrees to wash their beer down with, apparently.
These restaurants -- that feature scantily-clad waitresses -- have become known as breastaurants, and are liberally borrowing from Hooter's well-established playbook. Hey, all's fair in love and food.

The Daily Times Cover Ups
Let me ask you something Ladies & Gentlemen.
Haven't you noticed that the Daily Times rarely ever reports on CRIME in the City of Salisbury? Did you know that the Salisbury Police Department sends them Press Releases every single day, (if available) yet they refuse to cover anything other than a murder.
They'll cover all the way up to Dover, Ocean City, Cambridge and yes, they'll even cover Montgomery County crime but they will not produce the regular crime right here in Salisbury.
My guess would be that they're under too much pressure from the Mayor's Office to do so and while Salisbury News delivers crime within the City of Salisbury, it simply amazed me how they'd let us share that information while they simply held back and said nothing. Over the years they have done this all too often on many different subjects.
When it came to the Waste Water Treatment Plant, they waited weeks before the story became so large they simply had to report it. We fought for months calling them every single day to pressure them into telling what was going on at the Zoo and this was just ONE article of what would be a series of follow up articles because they only told a part of what was going on. When I called them for the follow up Joe Carmean said, "Haven't you caused enough damage Joe?"
That statement in itself tells you there was lots more to cover but the Mayor put so much pressure on them they dropped the whole thing and even turned it around to make it look like my Wife was disgruntled, fools!
Now we come to Blogs. The Daily Times knows we've accomplished the impossible, or so they thought. Salisbury News has grown so big the Daily Times is laying off employees like there's no tomorrow and like I said earlier in a comment, if they give a link to Salisbury News, our hits do NOT go up for the day. We've accomplished something they never thought could happen and now the Daily Times is a back up or an alternative behind Salisbury News. Yeah, people like Lynn Cathcart who still get the Daily Times delivered to their home are still thinking that they're being delivered updated and local news. Lynn, no your not. You're getting a paper that gets thinner by the day and you come here to get the real news or to see if your name is on the Blogs.
I think back when graffiti was everywhere Downtown and the Daily Times refused to cover it and when they did it was a small photo and a 3" x 1" wide article about it. They didn't want the Citizens to know how out of control things were with Gangs and Crime. God Forbid they expose the Chief of Police and the Mayor.
Then they rag on the Blogs today, while they have numerous Blogs right o their Website. It's OK to rag on the Blogs every day but they're in the same business. The difference between the Daily Times and Salisbury News is, the Chief or the Mayor can't come walking in my door screaming and yelling and cursing like the Mayor did on the Zoo story without walking back out i hand cuffs! The other difference is, Salisbury News delivers real news and information, not covered up crap like the Times does.
Their Editorial yesterday was a complete lie about Bryan Brushmiller. The comments brought out information from the Md. Case Search Files and that's REALITY, Idiots! No one said he was CONVICTED of anything. This is simply what the Daily Times wants everyone to believe and people like Lynn Cathcart sit back and read that crap and think, boy, those Blogs are nasty. No Lynn, the Blogs tell the truth, this one anyway.
In the end we simply have to face the fact that the Daily Times will be around until Gannett simply calls it quits here in Salisbury. We'll continue to encounter articles like this one and they'll slide by and get away with these lies because that's their PROFESSION and they simply and conveniently leave out the name of the Blog they're discussing and think they're in the clear. I will contact my attorneys today and see if we have anything against them because I feel standing by and letting them attempt to crush ALL of us is wrong. They may disagree and then provide facts but I actually think since everyone knows Salisbury News is the largest Blog at least on the Eastern Shore, their intent was us and it's time we stop the slander. We'll see what happens and I'll keep you posted.

High Urinals
A group of 3rd, 4th and 5th graders, accompanied by two female teachers, went on a field trip to the local racetrack, (Churchill Downs ) to learn about thoroughbred horses and the supporting industry (Bourbon), but mostly to see the horses.
When it was time to take the children to the bathroom, it was decided that the girls would go with one teacher and the boys would go with the other.
The teacher assigned to the boys was waiting outside the men's room when one of the boys came out and told her that none of them could reach the urinal.
Having no choice, she went inside, helped the boys with their pants, and began hoisting the little boys up one by one, holding on to their 'wee-wees' t o d irect the flow away from their clothes . As she lifted one, she couldn't help but notice that he was unusually well endowed.
Trying not to show that she was staring the teacher said, 'You must be in the 5th grade.'
'No, ma'am', he replied. 'I'm riding Silver Arrow in the seventh race, but I appreciate your help.'
