Baltimore Mayor Sheila Dixon was indicted on 12 counts today including theft and perjury. Apparently she stole gift cards people had donated to be given to children in need and gave them to her family members. Can you say heartless ho?
My father also has observed attempts at corruption filter down from her office to his. Though when she was indicted today he did make a feeble attempt to defend her saying that sometimes corrupt politicians do actually benefit their constituents through good work.
That being said, I think that it is a good thing that our Mayor seems to be heading in the direction of Blagojevich. She has always struck me as pretentious and unhelpful. She is good at filling potholes and sucking up fallen leaves in swanky neighborhoods, but while she has presided the Baltimore PD has remained out of fucking control. I also heard today that shortly after being elected Mayor she came to the restaurant with a squad of assholes and reeked havoc. She called the place racist because other tables got their food before her table (hello? other tables did not munch on plates full of appetizers). She also got someone to sleuth out the owner's home phone number so that she could ring him up and bitch him out about the manager's incompetence in front of the manager's face. To top it all off, while the manager was profusely apologizing, one of the women at the table barked "talk to the hand" like she was in Clueless or something equally hair-brained but much more enjoyable as fiction.
Plus, the guys in the kitchen seem to hate her. And as I've said before, I generally respect their opinions on all things Baltimore.
