Wishful Thinking
It's refreshing to me that somebody other than myself doesn't like Robert Ehrlich. Thanks, Brian Morton (Political Animal, Sept. 25). I'm up to my ass in Ehrlich--every third vehicle I see on the road has an Ehrlich bumper sticker; every third house has an Ehrlich sign on its lawn or front window. Every other small store that isn't in an enclosed mall has Ehrlich on its window.
The gang of loudmouthed right-wing assholes infesting AM talk shows make it sound like Kathleen Kennedy Townsend has a portrait of Lenin on her wall. I wish, like Alan Keyes and Newt Gingrich, that Ehrlich would be history after November. I wish Marylanders would look very closely at Ehrlich's voting record (which rivals Tom Delay's). I also wish it would rain beer.

This was published in a newspaper?
Maybe I'm out of touch, but it doesn't seem to me that this kind of disgusting, meaningless venom is likely to help KKT very much.
“No,” cried Ernest in anguish. “It sounds so damn silly! She said: ‘I thought you were Church of England,’ and I said: ‘I was brought up Church of England, but for many years I have been an Abou Ben Adhemite.’ And would you believe,” added Ernest wonderingly, "that woman had never heard of Abou Ben Adhem!”“Go on!” said Anna, biting her lip. “And who was he when he was at home?”
“Abou Ben Adhem?” exclaimed Ernest, stopping dead. “He was the bloke who said to the angel: ‘Write me as one that loved his fellow men.’ Abou Ben Adhem has been the great religious inspiration of my life,” he added gravely.
“Well, I hope he inspires you now,” said Anna, without any great confidence.

Silly, silly boy. Of course she doesn't have Lenin's portrait on her wall. That would be way too obvious.
She wears it in a locket, around her neck.
Hey everybody! It looks like the 'Rats are gnawing at their tails over Ehrlich's popularity...

I had not heard of this paper before the Ehrlich-Townsend debate. One of the worst of the racist questions came from the representative of this City Paper.
My house proudly displayed an Erlich sign until some low-life, wild-eyed, left-wing nazi demonrat stole it!
I don't see many Ehrlich signs down here on Rt. 50, going into Ocean City. However, about a month ago there was a letter in one of our "freebie" local papers, in which the writer said that he personally saw State Highway Administration workers removing Ehrlich signs from fields well off the highway along Rt. 50.
