Kind of a brief one, but I didn’t get to use this trope last night, so what the heck:
The Baltimore Sun has a good summary of the “Healthy Holly” scandal that’s threatening to take down Mayor (and former state Senator) Catherine Pugh.
There’s also a “special section” that collects links to their other stories. My personal favorite so far:
How the rise of the self-publishing industry contributed to the problems for Baltimore’s mayor
I’m not kidding. That’s an actual headline from an actual article.
Come on. It’s Baltimore, gentlemen: if it wasn’t this, it would have been something else. Grifters gonna grift, and technology doesn’t change that.
