It was said that one man, Richard "Rick" Pollitt, was going to save the peasants of County Wicomico, Maryland from their dark lives of ignorance and barbarity.

It was said he was a "noble man", "competent", and "big boned": statements which the peasants awed and cooed over — until a lone man astride the roof of Rapa Scrapple Factory shouted down:

I say to you once again that an obese man, as Rick Pollitt appears to be, is not qualified as Wicomico County Executive or any leadership position — for he spends his time more affectionately with donuts instead of at the budget and proper planning.

But the proof is in the pudding, so to speak, and the meat and potatoes of Pollitt's campaign are disgorged in readable format on Pollitt's campaign website ricksfriends.com in a 10 Course Dinner political stand for the Wicomico peasants to digest.

Let us taste briefly of each Dinner Course that this man Pollit has put on the table for us:

Course 1. "Public Confidence":

"The first objective…immediately begin the process of restoring public confidence in the elected leadership of Wicomico County."

"I will build a bridge from the executive office to the county departments and…if they adopt my standards of professional efficiency and responsiveness to public concerns, they will continue to enjoy their county employment. Finally, I will build bridges to all of the members of our society to motivate them to a higher sense of ownership of the county’s future progress."

Pollitt then goes on to say absolutely nothing about what these "standards of professional efficiency" are or any other specifics on Course 1, except for building a certain "bridge," of which, again, no particulars are listed — not even its weight bearing safety load.

Pollitt then attempts to empower his intention of doing something by stating:

"This is not trite. This is not mush. I grew up in the village of Allen where every child had a dozen mothers,"

but he first unintentionally characterizes himself through denial, and in the last part shares with us his first qualification for the County Executive job — a familiarity with illegitimate children shuffled from boyfriend to girlfriend, then to one or the other grandparent, next the aunt or uncle, and finally the orphanage or correctional house: all mothers of one sort or another which the family planning principles of Salisbury and Wicomico County encourage and operate according to.

From time to time I will post the other 9 Dinner Courses this man Pollitt has baked up, at my leisure.

The lone man's name? Outraged Richard, speaking of Richard "Rick" Pollitt when he was lumbering along for Wicomico County Executive office in 2006.

Pollitt, a man who created a website: ricksfriends.com, that stated his campaign's promises and principles — a website which he promptly erased, some said devoured, once he was elected.

But hearken closely dear friends and detractors! Pollitt's promises and principles live on at outragedrichard.com in an ongoing series of revived past posts.

Ladies and gentlemen, we bring you in all his folds of glory and empty campaign promises amidst clouds of confectioner's sugar and endless fields of glazed donuts… Pollitt!
