While watching the national news tonight, I was greeted on the screen by the story of one Sheila Dixon, the not-so-Honorable mayor of Baltimore. Ms Dixon faces a multitude of charges pertaining to her accepting favors from a businessman with dealings with the city, and with which she was known to have had a personal relationship. The money and favors she received were apparently spent on herself. Among the things she allegedly obtained was a video game system for her home. If found guilty, Ms Dixon should be removed from office promptly. Governing a city with an extremely high murder rate nationally is difficult enough, and unlike a video game, the deaths are very real.
