Why can't Elijah Cummings be my congressman?
Ever hopeful that I'll find something worthy of Found Magazine, I tend to pick up many of the discarded scraps of paper in which my city abounds. I find a lot of schoolwork, including (today's find) an unfinished (indeed, barely begun) report on Rep. Elijah Cummings (7th district). I'm stuck with Ben Cardin, who doesn't inspire me to the trouble of making a link. He's a middle-of-the-road democrat who is, I believe, going to run for Senate to replace Paul Sarbanes, who does well enough but also doesn't merit a link. I've heard Elijah Cummings speak at a community meeting once, and I've heard him on the radio, and I like him. A lot. Anyway, I found the unfinished, barely-begun report on Rep. Cummings on my way to the library, which was officially opened for 15 more minutes when I arrived but I was cowed by the dimmed lights and general air of closing shop which pervaded so I left with nothing, not even a mystery paperback. I'm not actually stuck with nothing to read, but I'm damn close; all of my current unread books are ones that just haven't caught my fancy yet, and I don't want to start reading them before they call to me. I guess that's why I'm all of a sudden updating my lj again after a hiatus -- must. keep. brain. occupied. Tomorrow I'll be at the Maryland Renaissance Festival and the library will be open on Monday so I think I'll manage until then. Maybe I'll even get to those snickerdoodles.
