Blogging hiatus

I'll be gone for a couple weeks. Blogging will be light or nonexistent until June 29. Meanwhile here's a recent piece with Jeff Salkin on MPT talking about this column on raising taxes and cutting spending and this column on unsustainable medical cost increases.

When is Maryland going to make it clear that the Mason Doxon line had NOTHING to do with dividing North & South. It was drawn about 70 years before the Civil War to create a true Pennsylvania-Maryland border. Land owners, without a clearly marked line, were paying taxes to both colonies/states. The Potomac River has always been the dividing line. After all, it was the Army of the Potomac that accepted Lee's surrender at Appomattox.
