Annapolis Capital Punishment

I just had to print this again, not that Joe's choice words need to see more ink--or electrons, but it's just so, well, it's so gross. Joe is a decent fellow, and we've even had some pleasant conversations, but for years, his useless and poorly-written blather has earned him his living and taken up lots of space in our local paper which could otherwise have been occupied by something meaningful, not to mention factual (At least now they do check his atrocious spelling before printing). Both he and Eric Smith are unaccountable to anyone or to any standards, yet they get columns--and even a cartoon, to write about whatever they please! What's wrong with this picture?

In response to my piece about The Capital in which I wrote, "Now, if only they could get rid of Smith and Gross" here goes Joe, and my comment:

Well, Joe, who would not love your job? You can write whatever you want, without any regard to facts and without any accountability and you get paid for it! We the readers of The Capital, have suffered your vapid and inane writings, and along comes a fellow who publishes a blog (without pay, mind you), and you finally get to tell readers what you have really thought of us for all these years. Way to go, Joe.
