Frederick City is now a DC suburb, but Thurmont is old hill country.
I remember seeing a sign in the 80’s in Cecil County (Ches Bay headwaters) on US Rt 1 saying “Welcome To Klan Country”. Maryland’s an incredible mix.

Rocky & Bullwinkle time!
In the 3rd season Rocky & Bullwinkle, the cartoon heroes sought out the magical hat, the Kerwood Derby. Third-rate actor Derwood Kerby took umbrage at his name being spoonerized, and threatened a lawsuit.
So Derwood Kerby’s lawyer called the animator, Jay Ward, and threatened. Jay Ward replied, “Great! We’ll pay you to sue us!”. The lawsuit was dropped.

Good one. Might drive him cuckoo.
Reminds me of this old chestnut: “I’m not a $Relevant_Scientist, but $Completely_Unfounded_Opinion.”
That phrase should always go: “I’m not a $Relevant_Scientist. That is all.” Or better: “I’m not a $Relevant_Scientist, but I’ll ask $Relevant_Scientists to explain the scientific consensus about $Issue_At_Hand.”
I wish I had scads of money:

I went to camp there at a non-profit camp for Jewish kids. It is definitely Klan country; I was a counselor and a camper there and heard stories about lockdowns from rallies in town.

Dear Kirby Delauter,
Could you please forward me the information where you obtain your drugs? They appear to be some high quality shit.

Stop saying what?
The photo right under the headline for that article is of Kirby Delauter in portrait mode. Subtle!

If you read some of the comments and other stories linked to the News-Post article, you’ll learn Delauter owns an excavating company and tried to jigger the rules so his firm could get no-bid contracts WHILE he sits on the Council. And he’s been known for scraping the topsoil off old ladies’ yards and re-filling them with garbage fill. Can you say “Republican?”
