Invitation to attend Occupiers’ trial this week

Five of the nine people arrested on Nov. 27, following our government's eviction of Occupy from Capitol Park, will be tried in Superior Court, Augusta, beginning at 8:30 on Wednesday and Thursday. I'd like to issue an invitation for anyone who is interested to attend.

Consuming energy drinks at an alarming rate?

Today, I stopped at a gas station to buy gas at $3.97 per gallon. A young man, probably in his mid-20s, purchased a box of allergy tablets, a pack of cigarettes, three energy blend drinks and a high-energy drink. As he complained about the price of gas, he did not blink at the cost of the caffeinated and energy blend drinks. His purchases inside equaled his purchase of gas. It is all relative, I guess.

Why are live naked people bad, but dead people OK?

I guess 2012 will be the end of the world. And, you know, the way things are, maybe it is time.

Throwing trash out of car like spitting on Maine beauty

I grew up in a small town in central Maine, and I have a bone to pick with some of my fellow Mainers.
