Quote of the Day
October 9, 2008
"I am calling on Governor O'Malley to order his campaign to cease and desist with the negative attacks. It is my bet that the people of this great state are sick of the empty promises, tired of the lies, and ready to fight back against the corrosive influences of tainted money and Karl Rove-style politics."

Don Praisner no longer Mariln Praisner's "husband" . . .
because, tragic as it is, Marilyn has passed beyond this life on earth into the mysterious realm of Death. That being the case, Don Praisner is not a husband but a widower. Let's use words correctly in support of raising literacy levels in our community.
