Sometimes hilarious customer reviews of the book at the center of the latest Baltimore Mayoral scandal.

I bought 50 of these and finally my rooftop deck permit got approved. 10/10 would buy again

I can't wait for the next installment in the series - Healthy Holly: Defrauding the Citizens of Charm City. Coming soon to an otherwise empty warehouse near you.

On March 13, 2019, the Baltimore Sun published an article exposing how Baltimore City Mayor, Catherine Pugh, a board member of the University of Maryland Medical System since 2001, has a contract with UMMS to buy this book. The article reports that Pugh cleared $100,000 profit in 2017 by selling 20,000 copies to the UMMS. Pugh reportedly said she has a deal where UMMS buys her books every two years.

Is she still “disappeared?” Or has she returned from her vacation?

[rightwingintelligentsia]

She finally turned up a few weeks ago to resign but haven’t heard much since then.

Did she turn up or did her lawyer resign for her? That’s all I saw. Amazing what she is getting away with.

Pissed off that her mamma, Mayor P. Yew, was told not to come back to City Hall by other big people, Healthy Holly got her boy Herbie, who is also healthy, to hack the City’s computer system and install some nasty Malware that locked up all the machines until they payed a ransom to Healthy Holly. She wants $76,000 which is a really small amount compared to the damage caused to the City’s ability to collect fees and fines. Maybe Healthy Holly is just guided by principle.

I have heard, through a reliable source, that Mayor Pugh and Governor Northam are shacking up at an undisclosed location.

Thieves like this belong in prison.

Hilarious reviews were the situation not so felonious!

The mayor arranged for 100,000 of these books to be purchased by the University of Maryland Medical System to donate to the schools of Baltimore. Somehow most of these were not given out. There is now a mystery hunt for the remaining Healthy Holly books—nearly 9000 turned up in a city warehouse in East Baltimore. No need to buy one of these, about 60,000 are still unaccounted for and the Mayor and School Superintendent should be able to point to these and start distributing them to children and readers as originally intended!.

Were this anyone but a politician (and a Democrat in Maryland) the would already be in jail. She will no doubt end up the next head of the DNC, or at least a big shot at the State level. Our political party hacks revere their most successful criminals, and Maryland has an incredible history of them.

It would be nice to hear why it is that these organizations involved never reported her, but three cheers for the Sun Paper for digging this up.

Anyway, you can bet no one will ever make her cough up the dough that she extorted/bribes that she took. Criminality of her sort never has any risk in this country. Maybe when we start public canings and executions for abusing the public trust...

The best thing anyone can say about Baltimore is that you don’t live there any longer. I know I’m happy that I don’t.

$199 seems a little steep for a children’s book. I can see why it is 2,314,948th on Amazon’s best seller list.
