....all the politicians who've risen to national prominence from Maryland are massive tools?

First Spiro Agnew, and now Michael Steele? What gives?

1. If you guys would ditch the blatant speed traps I'd love it.
Nothing like a cop sitting literally 30ft past a Speed Limit sign changing the speed from 50 to 35, and then not even giving you time to slow down. I got bagged once, and then was ready for them every other time, but what they do is just a low down dirty shame. x(

And yes, Steele is a major tool. But lots of states churn them out. Don't feel bad. :)

6. The good ones from here do tend to toil in obscurity
although Steny Hoyer is trying hard to be prominent.......

We have even had some actual decent Republicans like Mac Mathias, Connie Morella and Gilbert Gude...
