It will be very entertaining to watch the MD politicians try to turn way-too-humid Maryland into a desert by signing silly laws!!

Prepare for a long list of lame excuses when the Earth, in direct defiance of Maryland law, refuses to dry up!!!

Maybe they’re going to turn it over to silicon life forms?

(I escaped from MD a long time ago)

Too bad, because the R was actually a good leader.

I absolutely agree.

This bozo has to be a one term governor or the state of Maryland may never recover from the damage he’ll cause. What’s funny (in the weird way, no, make that the really weird way) is that you can’t find a soul that admits to voting for MOM, yet he’s in power. Seems lots of Maryland’s libs are moving to Pa. after voting this buffoon into office because he wasn’t an R. Too bad, because the R was actually a good leader.

We may be the only three conservatives left in the state – four, including my spouse.

Five, including my wife, and I’ve got relatives running around here somewhere. We may be able to fill a small conference room.

Though I’m not a Republican, and have a real mixed-bag of political beliefs, I voted for Erlich both times. Everyone knew, coming into this last round of elections, that Erlich was going to get smoked. His election in the first place was an aberration, as KKT was an appalling candidate for the Dems. A lot of blue voters had the common sense to vote for Erlich, even if just that once.

Nonetheless, I think Erlich deserved to be re-elected. He got royally shafted by the State Houses. They went out of their way to thwart his agenda, and even made public events of overriding his vetoes. It was really pathetic. Even my wife, who normally votes pretty blue, voted for Erlich, because she simply can’t stand O’Malley, and thought that Erlich did a pretty good job the first four years.

It’s a crying shame. On the plus side, we get to listen to Bob and Kendall every Saturday morning, completely ripping O’Malley to shreds on his latest idiocies!

We may be the only three conservatives left in the state – four, including my spouse. For the uninitiated, Dufus O’Malley raised our taxes this year, “just in case”. And if I’m not mistaken, y’all will be getting the opportunity to see more of him in the future. I believe that underneath his slime and the oily snakeskin, the man has presidential aspirations. (He thinks he’s pretty!)

We live in a blue wasteland of idiots here, who actually believe the government can do a better job of it, and therefore want the government to take care of them… I come most recently from California, and this place makes me shudder in horror at the lockstep mentality.

This should be obvious to anyone who has taken high school physics and thinks about the issue for a while.

These decisions are not based on scientific knowledge or rational thought, they are based on greed and politics.

Ha, I just got done watching a couple of epis of SGA, I needed that laugh… especially after reading this nonsense about MD. To think I was actually looking forward to moving back there in a few months.

So if CO2 is the cause, what has happened and why do the computer models not agree with reality? Has anybody thought that maybe they should check the computer models against what is, before relying on them.

So sad science has become this political. Wasn’t it Stalin who first starting using science for political reasons?

How ’bout we just have all the liberals hold their breath from breakfast to lunch? Tha t should do it!

No state has attempted a 90% carbon reduction, but hardly anyone who will consider this bill now will be alive to see if the goal is met. They also won’t be around to see if the nonexistent technology that the reduction depends on is ever even invented.

Well that right there is what it is all about. Make me lord high god of the earth and I will insure that everything will be a paradise after we are all long dead. Yes you will suffer but just imagine that paradise that will follow. I don’t have a problem with someone with such goals. My problem lies with all the stupid people that believe and follow such people.

I’ve always advocated a very simple test. The global warmers set out a ten year plan. They make a prediction as to the climate in ten years time if their plan is followed. We follow their plan but and this is key, not a single one of them is allowed to benefit from it in any way what so ever. In ten years if at least 60 percent of what they say comes true we elevate them to great status and wealth and allow them their proper place in history and government. If it doesn’t come true we execute them. I’d be willing to bet very few if any of them would accept such a deal because they all know it’s a complete sham.

The boy mayor who failed to reduce the murder rate in Baltimore now thinks he can reduce an entire state’s carbon emissions.

Hey Bryan, he’s brought it to Annapolis too! I guess murderers figured if they got away with it while he was mayor, they would while he was governor.

why did the voters in Maryland put this doofus goof in the Governor’s Office in the first place?

They wanted ‘change’.

And Hope! I hope they get the change they hoped for.

And Rendell’s no great shakes, either.

Attila (Pillage Idiot) on February 20, 2008 at 12:27 PM

Rendell’s bought and paid for by Gamesa, the Spanish wind power giant, to whom he’s turned over the western highlands of Pennsylvania. Industrializing the scenic rural highlands is no skin off his teeth, as those districts vote Republican anyway.

Before he takes a senior position with Gamesa, Rendell hopes to get a cabinet appointment in the Hillary administration, hence the recent race-baiting cracks a la Bill’s Jesse Jackson comparison.

The primary effect of tax breaks, renewable portfolio standards, and other public subsidies to promote inefficient, unproductive and dead-ended technologies is to increase taxes, double or triple the cost of energy to consumers, and divert investment from more efficient, productive clean technologies to these less efficient ones.

They pander to the crazies and if it works the way they want they get the big nanny state govt. handouts that ensure it stays that way.

What the heck was his campaign slogan? “And now for something completely different!” ?
