Welcome!

Congress? You reading this? Yeah, I'm talking to you. I'm a citizen and you're kinda sorta supposed to listen to me. I may not have voted for you, but the least you could do is represent me. Anyone else reading this, tell me what you think. This blog isn't just a blog, its interactive so get involved and speak your mind! Literally of course.

The Races - On Your Marks- Wait, New Entry For Governor

Peter Mills had decided to run for governor on the Republican ticket. He is the first GOP candidate to be a career politician. He does not yet have a website or a blog. However, if he represents your district you can read his congressional page here:

Update: The Dawn Hill website is functional, but under development. Steve Rowe's website is uniquely designed, but is deceptively lacking in anything specific. It is basically an announcement speech with donate buttons.
Steve mentions the following:
Steve also knows that problems such as substance abuse, mental illness and domestic abuse are devastating to Maine people and to our state’s economy. Steve will work to eliminate these problems so that the true potential of Maine people and the state’s economy can be realized.

Excerpt over. Haven't seen that one often, and it is good to see. However, it lacks plans or facts or, well, basically anything substantial.

Zelaya's March

Manuel Zelaya is going to have a peaceful march to the border of Honduras from the Nicaraguan capital. It started earlier this day with him and his family. However, how peaceful it will be after that is questionable.

I urge non-violence in this entire situation. I recommend the Honduran border patrol or military or police (whoever monitors such things) to arrest Zelaya as the Supreme Court ordered them to do almost a month ago now.

Surgery Today

I am going into surgery, oh, about thirty minutes from now to remove three very oddly impacted wisdom teeth. May not post for two days.

We Got bin Laden

Saad Bin Laden is dead. He is the son of Usama (Osama) bin Laden. He was killed by a U.S. airstrike in Pakistan. Next question: What are the odds Osama is also in Pakistan? I say 90% just on gut feeling.

Bad news is he wasn't very important. Also, we can't confirm if he was killed. Also, they say the strike occured earlier this year. Also, out of 50 airstrikes since our air campaign started, only 11 got their targets. Is this really the best that the world's undisputed best airforce can do? We have no enemies in the skies! Seriously, if we are being careful, we have the resources, lets try to make sure we have a 50% success rate. For the best armed forces in the world, I think that isn't asking too much.
