April 9

A man was fatally stabbed in the throat in Pigtown.
And a man was stabbed in the arm and leg in the 2300 block of McCulloh Street in Reservoir Hill.

Dept of WTF?!:
Sun's Sara Neufeld: The city school budget is full of errors, including an item that "shows $6.2 million in salary money to pay zero employees."

Fantasies NightclubGregory Eaton was the armed robber who died at Fantasies Nightclub after being shot by off-duty police. Alex Reiff was also shot and is expected to recover.

Project Exile continues to target felons with guns. Meanwhile, the Blotter lists a shooting Friday morning on W. Lexington Ave., an armed robbery on Friday morning on E. Patapsco Ave., an armed carjacking at a gas station on Glynns Falls Pkwy. on Friday evening, and a shooting Friday night on Ascension St.

Oh, and also in the Blotter... a 10-year-old girl was robbed of her candy at knifepoint while walking to school in Woodlawn on Friday morning.

A 30-year-old man was attacked and robbed while walking along Furnace Branch Rd. in Glen Burnie.

"Do I dare disturb the universe?" Not if I go to school in Harford County.

Chuck posted that "Chocolate War" thing, not me!
Never read it. Maybe I should.

"The Chocolate War" reminds me of what citizen outrage can accomplish in Baltimore: If you're lucky, you end up like the guys at "Rebuilding Madison;" if you're not so lucky, you end up like the Dawson family.

Who knows... Given where we live, maybe it's good to teach our kids not to stand up for anything. Lock your doors, duck when you hear gunshots, and lie when the police ask you if you saw anything.

Wait a minute.

The Sun reported, "... state infuses hundreds of millions of dollars in aid to the city's chronically underfunded schools."

Excuse me? "Underfunded"?!

The budget of just 2 years ago (the lastest one I have) shows Balitmore schools receives more money per student then the state average and Baltimore gets more per student than 19 of the 25 other school districts in Maryland. Yet for some reason, the Baltimore school system is always failing.

"Mis-managed" does not mean "underfunded".

Word. We need to bring back flogging as a punishment for incompetent public officials. I bet then you'd stop seeing millions of dollars going to pay salaries for non-existent employees.
