“Buildings don’t teach children. Teachers do.”
Remember where you heard that. It certainly wasn’t from Steve Schuh, the Tea Party Republican candidate for Anne Arundel County Executive.
Reason #5 NOT To Vote For Steve Schuh: 24 neighborhood high schools?
Steve Schuh has a plan for improving the quality of public education in Anne Arundel County. Unfortunately, it’s not a good plan.
Reason #4 NOT To Vote For Steve Schuh: The 3% solution.
Hi. Steve Schuh believes in smaller, less tax-intensive government. He’s officially a Tea Party Republican. That’s his philosophy.

For the record, the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution reads as follows:
A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.
Reason #2 NOT To Vote For Steve Schuh: He’s pro-life.
Once again, these reasons not to vote for Steve are numbered to make them easy to identify. Otherwise, the numbers don’t mean anything.
Reason #1 NOT To Vote For Steve Schuh: The mystery of his Tea Party affiliation.
By the way, I’m numbering these reasons, just to keep count of them, but they’re not in any particular order.
Reasons NOT To Vote For Steve Schuh: The Introduction
Hi. See the person in the picture? His name is Steve Schuh. Mr. Schuh is one of three Delegates, in the Maryland House of Delegates, representing District 31. He’s currently completing his second four-year term. More to the point of this series of articles, he’s running to become the County Executive of Anne Arundel County, Maryland. (I live in Maryland too, but in another county.)
Where have I been?

So you’ve probably been wondering, what’s happened to the regular articles I had been publishing to rid the halls of Congress of the unproductive, inefficient and inept? Am I a fair-weather columnist who only writes when the frenzied excitement of a coming election reaches its pinnacle? Have I contracted a form of political Stockholm Syndrome and have actually become one of the political hacks that have been holding our government hostage?
Nah. I’ve been busy writing a book.

Ah, the Inauguration. Yet another excuse for our government to do nothing, while spending a great deal of money doing it.
Gun Control. The illusion of leadership.

I wasn’t going to write anything about guns. It’s not that I don’t think we need vastly more restrictive gun control legislation, it’s just that I’m still depressed about November’s election. Nothing new. I just can’t get over the fact that, with very few exceptions, we re-elected the same Congress and President that failed to resolve any of the major economic, financial or social crises we’ve been facing. The President is now focusing on his legacy, like any of us really care, and waiting for the economy to recover on its own so he can take credit for it. Bummer.

Hi. I’m writing this for the Next Contestant, my political blog, because it’s about a law we need to pass, a federal law. No, it has nothing to do with the Fiscal Cliff or other big headline topic. It’s about rights of privacy, for all us, but for celebrities in particular.
The 2012 Congressional Elections: What were we thinking?
Saturday, December 1, 2012
With the Fiscal Cliff looming larger and larger on the horizon, people are complaining that it seems to be “business as usual” in Washington, that the election seems to have accomplished nothing. The Democrats and Republicans are still a good distance apart, no closer to a compromise, not really. Meanwhile, our lame (duck) President, rather than demonstrating constructive leadership, has said, “What the heck,” and is going for broke, both figuratively and literally.
