Where in the world is Martin O’Malley, Kathy Griffin asks
Kathy Griffin, the trash-talking comedienne, took the stage at Merriweather Post Pavilion Thursday night and had a scintillating question for the audience: “Do you know where your governor is tonight?” As it turns out, the attendees might not have known, the governor isn't in Annapolis but on vacation.
And no, he’s not in Argentina or hiking the Appalachian Trail — he’s in the Adirondacks. O’Malley has been on a fishing trip with his 12-year-old son Will since Father’s Day, according to his press office. The duo has been throwing lines into Cranberry Lake in New York's Adirondacks State Park for their annual bonding retreat, spokesman Shaun Adamec said.
O’Malley’s press office has fielded several calls from the media in recent days about the governor’s exact whereabouts in light of South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford’s disappearing act that sparked a national scandal. Adamec said most inquiries about O’Malley have been “tongue-in-cheek.”
Maryland's governor returns Saturday — just in time for another trip to a vacation spot, Ocean City. This time, O’Malley will be traveling for work to attend the Maryland Municipal League conference, an annual gathering of local leaders from around the state. Though, aides say, he also will get some beach time with this family. Ahhh, summer.

Pretty sure he pays for his own vacations. Overseas trip was state business - my understanding. And I read a lot of it was paid by feds anyway. Doesn't matter though. if you can see beyond the borders of Maryland you'd understand the importance of overseas econ development.

How quaint, a fishing trip with his kid. I hope he does a better job fishing for federal dollars to help bail out his impoverished state budget.

From his mouth WITHOUT a teleprompter!
This bill is being touted as the Obama bill.
“The problem is can you get the American people to say this is really important and force their representatives to do the right thing, that requires mobilizing a citizenry…..
Under my plan of a cap and trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket even regardless of what I say about whether coal is good or bad, because I’m capping greenhouse gasses, coal power plants, natural gas you name it whatever the plants were, whatever the industry was, they would have to retro-fit their operations, that will cost money and they will pass that money onto the consumers.”
Kerry, Boxer: U.S. ‘Needs’ Cap-and-Trade on Carbon Emissions Even if Energy Costs Rise

“It’s a win-win in so many different ways, we can’t afford not to do it,” Kerry said.“There could be some (price) increases,” Kerry admitted, adding that the “costs of doing nothing could be greater,” including a decline in the food supply. “But there’ll be higher rises if we don’t do it and start to curb these emissions because you’re going to pay more for the adaptations, the loss of food, all the other problems that come along with it.”
Boxer also acknowledged that energy prices will rise.
“In the short run, in the transition, there’s always an up-tick (in prices)”
WE ARE DOOMED!
