St. Paul Follow Up

Hmmm. Could the disturbing events at St. Paul – Minneapolis been more disturbing that we may have originally thought?

The article from Pajamanews.com suggests it was a dry run for a future attack.

Reading through this story you will note that it claim that there were multiple reasons the captain of the flight decided to call the authorities and have these men removed from the flight.

And that seat belt extender.  What ever became of that item….?

MD Republican Party Convention

Both the Washington Times (Steele takes active role in Maryland politics, eyes 2010) and the Baltimore Sun (GOP’s next step is focus of caucus) cover the Maryland Republican convention that is being held today in Annapolis.

Later today we should know who is going to replace outgoing party Chairman John Kane. It looks like the Chairman’s race is between two candidates:

• Jim Pelura, an Anne Arundel County veterinarian
• John White, Anne Arundel businessman and 2006 Congressional candidate

I believe that either candidate will be a good choce as we regroup and gear up for 2008 and 2010. Hopefully one of our Republican representatives in Annapolis or Howard County Central Committee members will drop us a line with a recap of the event (hint, hint.)

For the good news, it looks like Michael Steele is going to stay active in Maryland politics, from the Washington Times:

“I’m just trying to make sure our party gets back on its feet and stands tall,” Mr. Steele told The Washington Times. “If we don’t do the groundwork now and pull ourselves up, 2010 won’t matter and 2008 won’t matter, either.”

I hope he runs.
