Gov. Paul LePage called on Mainers to help law enforcement rid the state of drug traffickers Wednesday, at one point citing a new law that allows residents to carry a concealed handgun without a permit.

I usually feel sorry for citizens of states like TX where the government is full of psycho neck biting tea baggers. The people of Maine deserve what they get, because it’s no secret that LePage is FUBAR and yet they keep voting for him. As a New Yorker, I feel like a piece of Mississippi moved into the northeast.

A good friend of mine moved to Maine when she retired. She is incredibly liberal. She and her husband actually contemplated working in Harlem in the 1970s as part of America Corp. Every time I hear something about LePage I think about them and wonder how hard it is for them to have HIM for Governor.

with candy and soda!

This man of all people grandstanding about obesity? That is rich. It also serves as a reminder to all of us about what happens when the opposition to Republican chicanery is divided by self aggrandizing vanity runs. I’m looking at you, Senator Sanders.

Learn the lesson we had to learn. Split ticket voting, meaning running three candidates doesn’t strengthen your vote it splits it. The knuckles daggers voted for LePage and the rest of us divvied our vote between the two “not LePage” candidates.

A third party run will take voters from Hillary before it takes votes from Trump.

President Barack Obama’s administration polices school menus but kowtows to powerful food groups by letting taxpayers finance junk food.

To be fair, this is actually true. Did you know that the real cost of a McDonald’s Big-Mac should be around $12? And that regardless of whether you eat there you subsidize every Big-Mac by about $7? (Not my numbers, so they could be a little off, but it’s probably about right). Should watch the documentary “Cowspiracy”.

Have you ever tried Moxie? Not soda, not in a million years would that be considered soda!

Figures.

But old berns doesn’t give a shit about that!

It’s all about him. He kind of reminds me of trumpet
