With our state in so much trouble, how can they justify using $300,000 for a study on a private east-west highway that will be of little use to most of the people of Maine? What will the state get?

I thought our governor was smarter than that. I’ve increasingly seen what idiots we’ve got in elected office.

About the war over in Afghanistan: They don’t care about us. We should pull out right now and let them kill each other. It’s a waste of time.
