Dan Gainor: Baltimore Arena plans an Olympic-sized mistake
- Baltimore is not Beijing.
On track for mass transit?
- Most Baltimoreans define “mass” transit as hopping in the car and praying they don’t hit traffic. Here in Baltimore we have the micro-subway, light rail, buses and MARC.
Dan Gainor: Starting off the Fourth with a bang
- Today, July Third, I’m honoring the Fourth by devoting this space to the Second — Amendment, that is. I’m celebrating one of the most important rights detailed in the Constitution. The right to bear arms is an essential aspect of our freedom.
Dan Gainor: Obama = FDR, Carter or Hoover?
- This is an election year and that means it’s tax time. Your hard-earned money is burning a hole in some candidate’s pocket.
Dan Gainor: A cigar is a smoke, and a politician is a pain
- Mayor Sheila Dixon looks good in red. The color suits her. Not for her clothing, mind you. It’s for her politics.
Gainor: Immigration taking us for a ride
- Want to know what’s going on in the world? Go to the nation’s capital.
Dan Gainor: Pump up the volume about drilling
- Your senators don’t give a darn about you.
Dan Gainor: Lobby tried to kill alcopops
- “Hate the sin, love the sinner.” Not exactly a philosophy Maryland embraces. In fact, it’s just the opposite. Maryland loves sin. Sin taxes — levies on alcohol, tobacco, gambling and more — keep our coffers filled for legislators to abuse.
Dan Gainor: Take this lesson to heart: Public schools have failed
- If you can read this, thank your teachers but not their union.
Dan Gainor: Time to get a handle on racing
- Shout from the highest mountain. I agree with Gov. Martin O’Malley. OK, not a lot, but at least a little. (I’ve been accused of being a bit hard on the Gov. I think he’s a nice guy. But I hear they said that about Pretty Boy Floyd as well. Both showed the same attitude about our money being their money.)
Dan Gainor: Delaware opens arms to spurned Marylanders
- It’s a simple green piece of paper. Hundreds or thousands of them are mailed to Marylanders who contemplate living in a state more free than the one we call home.
Dan Gainor: Fears about fears
- You can tell the days we’re supposed to be afraid — they end in a “y.”
Dan Gainor: We don’t get to pass on retirement
- You can learn a lot about life through sports. You can aspire to be like Cal Ripken Jr. and exemplify the American work ethic. You can manage people like Peter Angelos and Bob Irsay and run your businesses into the ground. And you can retire like Steve McNair — full of class and ready for the next stage of life.
