Offensive lines: county executive, top aide spar over AFC championship
To some, he might seem a rebel in a Ravens town. But ironically, David Nitkin is a Patriot — a fan of the New England football team, albeit one who works for a county government whose executive, Ken Ulman, bleeds the purple and black of the...Tags: National Hockey League, Tom Brady, Baltimore Colts, Boston Bruins, Boston Red Sox

The tea party's true colors
Doug Mainwaring's article about the tea party, "Why the name calling?" (Aug. 10), was highly amusing. If name-calling is the problem, I'd suggest hey start with themselves.

Palin right about Paul Revere's ride

Palin is wrong about Paul Revere; just ask Paul Revere
With all respect to reader Ralph Schmidt's opinion about Paul Revere, the facts bear out neither his nor Sarah Palin's portrayal of Revere's ride. Ms. Palin attempts to paint a picture of Revere as a provocateur, waving the proverbial red flag in front...Tags: Sarah Palin

Claiming "I know my American history," Sarah Palin on Sunday defended her claim that Paul Revere's ride was intended to warn the British they weren't going to take American arms.
At a stop in New England on her bus tour of the United States, Palin...Tags: Sarah Palin, John Hancock, History

Palin in Baltimore: The midnight ride of Francis Scott Key?

Sarah Palin: A hero to failing history students everywhere
Dearest Sarah, You are my hero! It would have been so easy to say, "Oops, I misspoke. You see, I've been on the road, I haven't slept much, and I have this terrible fire in the belly. Of course, Paul Revere wasn't warning the British…" But no. You...Tags: Sarah Palin, History, Perry Hall

Stewart compliments Weiner, mocks Palin
Last night, on "The Daily Show," Jon Stewart was forced to tackle an issue he hates to joke about: His friend U.S. Rep. Anthony Weiner's (D-N.Y.) tweeting of his own penis.
Stewart and Weiner are old buddies and shared a beach house in Delaware in their...Tags: Sarah Palin, Jon Stewart, Mass Media, Satire (genre), Facebook
