Tonight’s Democratic candidate debate was everything a cynic could have wished for. Government retained its power to perform miracles, though no one explicitly promised that it could raise the dead. It is amazing to see how far & easily both Hillary Clinton and Martin O’Malley ran from their records in office. Following are some of […]

Hellraising at Martin O’Malley’s Presidential Launch?
One of America’s most pious gun grabbers, former Maryland gov. Martin O’Malley, will announce his presidential campaign tomorrow at 10 a.m. in Baltimore. As Baltimore mayor, O’Malley spearheaded one of the most repressive police campaigns anywhere. There will be a lively protest at O’Malley’s launch by folks who have not forgotten the endless pointless jailings […]
MP3 Baltimore Riots with Brian Wilson
Talk show legend Brian Wilson and I did a postmortem on the Baltimore Riots on his Libertas Media Project podcast today. I was amused by Brian’s opening riff – claiming that Public Policy Hooligan will soon be a made-for-TV movie that includes Buford Porchdog Mulcoskey as Bill Clinton and Trample the Wonder Rhino as Janet […]
Wild Idealists on Baltimore Streets
Lots of protestors marching in Baltimore today. It is good to see charges filed against the police involved in Freddie Gray’s death. But some of these protestors are wildly idealist.

OK, so I wasn’t in his victory […]

MD Gov O’Malley Too Busy Banning Guns to Control Prisons
Maryland governor O’Malley was so busy laying plans to harass and disarm the state’s peaceful gun owners that he did not notice that a violent criminal gang had taken over a state prison in Baltimore. I look forward to seeing plenty of references to this when he O’Malley launches his presidential campaign. At least […]
