Re your posts 47 and 48, yes, it is amazing that there is a solid Republican in the governor's mansion in Maryland while Virginia is continuing its series of rat governors. Seems like something has gone wrong in the scheme of what one expects.

Well, the people of Virginia voted for tax increases and I hope they get them real good.

I personally don't think that Ehrlich's agenda can survive what with that pit of vipers otherwise known as the Maryland Legislature trying to thwart his every move.

I've always been amazed about why person A will acquire the accent of the place he or she moves to and person B won't.

I concede that a speech accent doesn't necessarily indicate a political stance, and I suppose I overstated the matter. Sorry.

After all, if a Southern accent were what the media and other Southernophobes proclaimed it to be, LBJ, Jimmuh and Slick Willie would've been the greatest thing since sliced bread and CoCo Puffs. ;-)
