O'Malley answers the call of jury duty
Why is it that you never get feel good stories about Republicans? Wait that's a long conversation I'm not in the mood to start. Our future Governor was off doing his civic duty yesterday as "Juror No. 368". I've met the Governor-elect a couple of times now in my political travels and you just can't beat his sense of humor.
When a judge asked one group of jurors if any one of them was a lawyer, O'Malley stood. "I am a lawyer, my wife was a lawyer. All my brothers are lawyers. Nobody in my family knows how to do anything," O'Malley said.
The Governor-Elect was reading the following books.
I can't decide which one of his books I find more interesting. On the one hand, the Governor-Elect reading about the problems in Washington DC is sort of interesting. But a lawyer reading about the failure of the criminal justice system while waiting to be selected for a jury is definitely one of those poetic sort of things.

Not yet, but I believe he's up for it all week.
