That’s ok Stig. Not like I needed to sleep tonight.

“Maine’s fun-loving Republican governor Paul LePage implied that he makes up stories to confuse the press; in a radio interview, he also said “the sooner the print press goes away, the better society will be.” 

Have an amazing time, Mike and Karen!

He also kept it short. Perhaps he hopes by doing so Trump might actually read it? I think it might still be too long for Trump to read, and perhaps that’s why he felt he had to resort to italics.

Time to dust off that cane and order a new set of ‘cataract’ contacts!

I lost a dog and a cat within the last year. I’m not over either of their losses. I miss them every damn day.
