[Grace Cangialosi]

I just read an article in the early edition of the Baltimore Sun that contains extensive information about both incidents involving Bishop Cook.  www.baltimoresun.com

As for the drug possestion, it was never completely clear if the marijuana
was hers.
Tossing around terms like "addictive issues" and wondering if the prior
issue should have prevented her election don't help. I have known the
Bishop, off and on, for several years, and many of my friends are either
colleagues and/or friends of hers. This seems very much out of character,
and the area that all of this happened is an area that cyclists have been
requesting be upgraded.

"Among the repulsions of atheism for me has been its drastic
uninterestingness as an intellectual position." - John Updike

"There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life:
The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that
often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading
to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with
the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs."  ~John Rogers
