Their mothers would be proud
There’s a group on Facebook for everything.
Have a favorite television show or Weather Channel meteorologist? There’s probably thousands of other people with exactly the same interests.
You can even find some of your local elected officials on the social networking site.
A number of politically active area high school students banded together in 2006 to create a group on Facebook that takes some ill-mannered shots at Democratic Sen. Jim Brochin. The name of the group is too salty for print in family publications or this blog, It attempts to further skewer Brochin with a doctored photo.
So what does a group of 15 students who mostly attended Towson High School have against the two-term incumbent senator that would generate such harsh language?
Apparently it’s as simple as who the members were friends with in high school.
“Our friend’s dad was running against him,” Brittany Talbott, a 2007 graduate of Towson High School, wrote in an e-mail response to questions I sent to all of the members of the group. Talbott, who was the only person to respond to the questions, was referring in her reply to Doug Riley, a Republican former councilman who challenged Brochin for his state Senate seat in 2006.
Who said kids today aren’t politically engaged?
