I call my mechanic Ed. I don't call him Mr. Marcello -- and for good reason: That's not his name. His name is Ed Martello. Thanks to one of my many readers, Paul Purdum, for pointing out the error in spelling in my Wednesday column, which Mr. Purdum hated, of course, because he's not an Obama fan and, when you're not an Obama fan, you can't possibly see that anything his administration or the Democratic Congress does -- like Cash for Clunkers -- could possibly be any good.

Anyway, Ed Martello -- super guy, savvy mechanic, and he almost singlehandedly got to the bottom of the gas contamination problem that hit the Hereford Zone in June. Here's the WBAL-TV report.
