Using The Wrong Finger

To hold up his jowls.  Our Governor should be using his middle finger.  Because that's what he's giving the citizens of Maine each and every time he tries to end conservation laws, cut down trees, make fun of safety issues and medical/health protections (little old ladies with mustaches).  All to help "create jobs".   Which is Tea Party speak for "give the rich some more money".

This man isn't rich and never will be.  But here he is courting the "Fat Cats" of big business.  Why?  The Governor's business, Marden's: a run down set of shopping centers selling salvage from "out of business" stores, fire sales and during the flood season, water damaged goods; doesn't meet most business codes right now.  He employs retired workers.  People that would be hard pressed to work anywhere else. No union.

Paul LePage is gaining "fame" on most comedy news shows like John Stewart, Colbert Report, and lately on MSNBC.  Mainers like me are just embarrassed.  He's only been in office 100 days.

Reminds me of when I was a teenager and the mayor of Cleveland was doing a news report out in front of the Cuyahoga River (which was on fire) and the mayor's hair caught on fire.  The river was on fire because it was so polluted.  I think he was assuring people it was "okay".  Dennis Kucinich.
