I'm back

So it has been over a month since last I have written anything, for which I apologize to those who have been frequenting this blog. The dreariness of this most cruel winter finally wore me down, and it dulled my passion and energy. As many of you know, I reside in the state of Maine. That in itself should explain the suffering I've endured this past month.

As the constant storms of snow and ice blasted this state, I could not but help wonder how anyone could believe in the Global Warming theory. Looking out upon the frozen tundra that once was my yard I laugh at the insanity of it all. Al Gore has spoon fed the loons so well, that even after seeing the evidence before them, in their yards, driveways, and on the terrible roads, citizens of Maine still take up his mantra with gusto. The next Hippie who trys to sell me this Gore aid is most definately going to get a pasting. I've never been much for Kool Aid to begin with.

In any event, it has been a harsh season to say the least. Couple the nasty weather with the "Storms" out of our capitol and you cannot help but forgive my lack of enthusiasm. It seems with each new inch of snow, we gained a few million dollars to the Deficit. The soloutions put forth by our Represenatives have been weak and full of such deception they have made me physically ill at times.

For example: The legislature required all government agencies to make cuts so the budget could be balanced. The first thing we saw was The Senate Leader from Freeport saying that " We have cut to the bone" and that "taxes need to be raised." When the Govenor said " Try again" and "No new taxes", the reaction was typical. The Democrats dragged up to the state house every hard luck case they could find and paraded them before the legislature. The affect was to be expected and our Reps bent against this display. Don't get me wrong, I don't want to see anyone suffer needlessly. I am pretty callous but not cruel. What I object to is that instead of making the appropriate cuts to their agencies, the Department heads, in the hopes of avoiding cuts altogether, played upon the sympathies of the people with this disgusting " Protest". They used the very people they are supposed to be helping in a very demeaning fashion, simply to protect their small fiefdom of supposed power.

So this last month has been a tough one for me, thus my lack of writing.

On a good note though John Frary got the requisite number of signatures to get his name on the ballot for the US Congressional 2nd District seat. Good job that.

I'm back though, so expect more ravings from a madman soon.
