… (so sayeth Jim Geraghty, at least) at the way that Maryland probably will have to raise taxes to fix its budget shortfall, while Virginia will instead be trying to decide what to do with its budget surplus*: but as a Maryland resident I am finding that I don’t quite find the joke all that funny. Particularly since Governor Martin O’Malley (D) is apparently planning to go for raising the gas tax again; which is to say, something unimaginative and counter-productive.

Well, as above: so below.

*I cannot wait for Tim Kaine to run for Senate next year, by the way. I absolutely cannot wait. And may O’Malley end up doing for Maryland and the DGA what Kaine did for Virginia and the DNC.
And this is exactly why I picked up and moved my family out of Maryland two months ago. We had been wanting to move for at least the last two years, but this was our first chance to actually do it.
We’re ecstatic living in our new “red state” home. It’s beautiful here and in two months we haven’t had to hear – not even ONCE – about who got killed today on the evening news.
Goodbye and good riddance, Maryland.
Just wait till people have to pay $8 to cross the bay bridge, the Eastern Shore may secede.
