He's just doing the job he's paid to do. It happens in private enterprise all the time when executives switch companies and it's no different in the public realm when they switch jurisdictions (or in his case, to UMCP). I say, give him a "special" Penguin Coctail (with the alcohol and maybe some xtra ingredients) and he'll forget all about it. Why would anyone be surprised about Doug Duncan?

Well, former County Exec is demonstrating that he’s all about getting ahead as he gives Montgomery County the shaft.

For years Duncan and others worked to bring a music hall to downtown Silver Spring, eventually getting the state to agree to foot the bill. Now that Duncan is an official at the University of Maryland, he’s trying to take the money promised to Silver Spring to open a music venue in Prince George’s County. Community leaders in Montgomery County have been moving forward on putting a music venue here and expect to use that money as it had been appropriated.

It’s not a shock that Duncan is eager to curry favor with his new masters in College Park, but the speed with which he went from being a supposed advocate for Montgomery County to someone willing to screw us to move his career forward illustrates how devoid of principal he is!

“A Penguin cocktail needs to be made with black and white ingredients.”

If I threw myself off the wagon tomorrow, I’d say Kahlua and vanilla soy milk (I’m lactose intolerant).

Any suggestions for a non-alcoholic Penguin drink? (Please don’t say Pepsi and milk!)

A Penguin cocktail needs to be made with black and white ingredients. Off the top of my head, I'd say Black Sambuca and, what? Pernod? White Rum? Soy milk? I say it's worth experimenting to find out.
