- Gov. Martin O'Malley, a presidential hopeful, has taken on yet another "pop issue," proposing that Maryland provide foster care to several thousand unaccompanied Central American minors, lest they be sent to "certain death."

Frankly, given our recent perceived indifference, that wouldn't be taken seriously by many of our neighbors in any event.
