Annapolis Capital Punishment

Will ironies never cease? Todays local newspaper has a big feature on Exec John Leopold that begins with how the Exec begins his day by...ta da...reading the newspaper. As if to say, wow, he's great, he knows what's important and he reads us!!! We're important. That's right, if you want to know what goes on, read the newspaper. Ummm...okay. I read it and it's....murky.

In the newspaper's desire to cover both sides of the man fairly, it gets weirder. For example, our own Mayor Ellen Moyer has her own thoughts about her county counterpart:

"There's no communication," Ms. Moyer said. "There's no sense of communication in what the city has to offer to help."

Pot. Kettle. Kettle. Pot. Black. Pot. Kettle. Black. Cauldron......good grief! Gee Governor O'Malley, what do you think about President Bush? Dunnnh! By the way, what can the city of Annapolis do to help the county? I can't ever remember a county executive and a mayor getting along.

Funniest of all is local Chamber mouthpiece Bob Burdon who has a few not too kindly things to say about the Exec, and former Mayor Dennis Callahan weights in too. Read it and laugh....or weep.
