This a darn good country! Darn good! A convicted felon from Virginia receives an award. It's a darn good country where the hometeam awardee gets a couple lines of recognition in the newspaper and the felon gets all the press ("Protesters greet Vick upon his arrival at awards dinner," March 10). In this darn good country, Baltimore City is in the process of implementing an Animal Anti-Cruelty Task Force, and we get to read about the convicted felon who received his award just outside the city limits. Darn good country.
