November 9

Horrifying blog post at AngerHangover: "... imagine my surprise when I read that I have been summoned to appear as a witness for the state in a jury trial for a man I’ve never even heard of." (Thanks AG)
Akir'e "Angel" Lane
Police are looking for 15-year-old Akir'e "Angel" Lane of Hamilton, right, who went missing after attending religious services in Hamilton on Sunday.

One bogus-parking-ticket-writing DOT employee, the mysterious "H. West" will be suspended today.

Blotter:
"A man was shot multiple times in the upper body shortly after 1 p.m. yesterday in the 800 block of Woodington Road and was admitted to Maryland Shock Trauma Center. His condition was not available. The victim was found lying in the street..."
A man in his early 20s was shot in the leg about 6:40 p.m. yesterday in the 500 block of Dolphin St.; Also, a 13-year-old boy was assaulted by "at least four young males," and in Parkville a man was shot in the head by a teenager trying to steal his Xbox.

Is dancing a crime? A teenage boy was arrested for doing the "Crip Walk."

Maryland has joined California's lawsuit against the EPA, claiming that the federal agency has failed to act in a reasonable length of time to force the auto industry to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions.

RJR has a new boss.

Ugh. Decent article in the Sun about what's going on in Annapolis and why the Special Session is a complete clusterfuck.

I have to say, I was pretty pissed off at O'M for a bit for the whole thing, but now I honestly feel the GA is more to blame for the mess we're all about to go through. Case in point: "To take just one example, the family with a $75,000 income that O'Malley said would pay $167 less in income taxes would, under the current version of the bill, pay $166 more."

F'ing comedy... "crip dance"? Yeah, right. The BPD is gang-crazy right now.

16 y/o Blood doing the "crip dance"? Nah, I bet he was just immitating what he saw in the latest Verizon Wireless Juke commercial - which appears to be a variation of the crip dance - here's a sample of the audition for the performer who eventually appears in the television ad:

sean, i already saw that article. it's what prompted me to ask the question in the first place, because i'd like some more information so i can decide whether or not i should be outraged at the general assembly or not.
