This has nothing to do with Howard County

I have been thinking about this for a while.  It concerns the format for this season’s television show Survivor and I don’t even watch the show – maybe a rerun here and there but I can’t tell you much about the show except for the regular format.

If you haven’t heard the contestants in this season’s show will be divided into categories based on race and ethnicity.  I understand that their will be a white team, a hispanic team, an asian team, and a black team.  Pretty audacious don’t you think?

Harper’s Choice Candidate Forum

I didn’t get to attend, but this article in the Sun describes the event.  Seems positive to Merdon given the venue and area might be considered hostile to a Republican candidate.  The article even mentions “hostile political turf”.  By all accounts Merdon aquitted himself well.

Merdon used Monday night’s packed house on hostile political turf to attack rival candidate Democrat Ken Ulman on Ulman’s own issue – the touchy matter of redeveloping Columbia’s Town Center.
