Five things the City of Baltimore has to have NOW
Dear Stephanie C. Rawlings-Blake, President of the Baltimore City Counsel.
You’re a public figure and now that you have gone on record that you are the most self absorbed mindless idiot, it’s time for you to get mocked. I might even e mail this to you since you obviously have no clue about the people you are paid to represent. Since you have demonstrated a clear inability to do your job as a public figure, I am offering you a rewrite of your sickening article. You might want to think twice about publishing things you have to have now and focus on what our city has to have now. Save that shit for your personal journal.
1. A Super Police department: “The city should have a police department that is capable of fighting the rampant crime taking over the city. It would make me feel I have done my job and made the place safer for the citizens of Baltimore.”
2. Public Schools that can really make a difference. “improved Education is one of the things that we can offer the citizens of Baltimore as a real promise that we care about the next generation and are willing to make the sacrifices needed to change the priorities of todays youth.”
3. A plan to bring more jobs to the city. “No one should go hungry. We need to work hard to make sure that businesses that come to the city will bring jobs to all citizens”
4. A more intimate relationship with the citizens. “Baltimore needs representation that listens and acts. We need to bridge the gap we have created and make a real effort to reach out to everyone.”
5. A teamwork atmosphere that works together to attack all of the priorities the citizens of the City demand we work on. “Perhaps the most important thing is to say these things and mean it. We need to work together to make sure we are all on the same page and that we can deliver on the promises that we made when running for office. The time is now to make the real changes.
There you go, sweety. There is a little help on that sad article. I certainly hope that you don’t make the same mistake again. Next time, It might cost you your job if it hasn’t already.
Like I said before, people celebrate mediocrity. This is a fine example of this. The next time we hear from her, I suspect that we’ll be hearing her picks for the next American Idol.

Did someone trick her into that little article? I mean, did she honestly know that the sole content would be, well, trivial shit?
Makes me feel better about our city’s representatives, though. I don’t know a personal thing about ‘em and don’t want to.

Actually, I had a friend tell me that it seemed the peice was more snark and attack then a fluff peice. That might be the case. I will have to pull some transcripts from Counsel sessions to see if she was actually gettin stuff done only to be stalled bythe press.
Baltimore has always been a Political Machine city. It still is. If you are part of the machine (rich, property tax paying citizens) then you’re OK. they will send cops around and curtail crime. However—if you’re not—well…you’re on your own.
Sadly, I happen to be part of the machine. what can I do? I can’t beat it—I just joined it.

IMHO, I don’t see snark in that Sun piece. I think that was lighthearted but certainly not snark. It’s disgusting, that piece. You go mail your retort. She deserves it, as does the Sun.
And thank you.
