Poor Richard Part III

It gets worse every day. Poor Richard missed a button on his orange jump suit. That was quite a shopping list he had going in to Hannaford. Gin and Tonic and a few bottles of wine. He told the cops that he was hungry. Looks like he was thirsty to me. From what I'm hearing on the street, he's been shoplifting for months. This was the first time someone actually called the cops on him. This guy has clearly lost it. Todays BDN poll showed that 95% say he should resign from the City council, but not Richard. He has "no comment". I really find it strange that after being caught red-handed, and admitting the theft to the police, he pleads "not guilty" to the charges. Just trying to drag out the inevitable I guess. This sap will rot in jail once he's sentenced unless he comes up with the $$$ for the fine. Quite a downward spiral your on Richard. Someone take his belt and shoelaces..........

Bangor lost a true friend in Clara Cohen this past week. She was a straight shooter and spoke her mind. We could use a few more folks like her around. I remember her talking with my neighbors daughter one day concerning the girls pregnancy. The young girl was 19, unmarried, and had a 3 year old daughter already. Clara looked her right in the eye and said "Your not to bright are you". Caught her right in the crosshairs with that one. She was also famous in the neighborhood for putting out tins of tuna and milk on her front porch for the local cats. I was saddened when I saw the old house up for sale. You could tell she was already gone as the lawn wasn't as neat, and the flower beds were bare. Here's to you Clara, we loved ya. Say hi to Ruby for me.

Richard Greene Part II

Things are going steadily down hill for Poor Richard. He's doing the dignity limbo, as in "how low can you go". Its pretty sad to watch a City official self-destruct. I remember the Jim Kotredes slide into oblivion over in Brewer, and now Mr. Greene is in his little handbasket. The media feeds on it, and the good folks of Greater Bangor just shake their heads. Why hasn't this guy resigned from the City Council? Does he think he has a shred of integrity left? Can the citizens impeach this piece of crap? Will WLBZ reporters chase him down the street on the day he gets out of jail, like they did with Kotredes? Oh the drama! Now that's some street justice for ya. His reputation, business, finances, home, and family are going down the toilet right along with him. The sheriffs at the jail house might want to keep a close eye on him, take away his shoe laces and stuff. This guy needs to come down off the ledge.

In my last post I mentioned that Gerry Palmer is running against Adam Goode. Let me clarify that, as they are both Democrats running in the District 15 primary. Sorry for any confusion.

Till next time......

Gerry Gerry Gerry

OK, here's my rant for the week. Gerry Palmer is running for the District 15 seat. He's "running" against Adam Goode, who is a distance runner. Very confusing to say the least. Lets have a foot race instead of an election, that I'd like to see. Gerry all sweaty running up Buck Street, about 2 miles behind Goode. Just the thought is causing me laughing fits. I've noticed Gerry's signs all over town this past week. On the sign he proudly displays http://www.gerrypalmer.com/ in the middle. So...I tried to access the site and was re-directed to mainebiotek.com. WTF? C'mon Gerry, do you have the rights to the site or is this another grandstanding tactic of yours, to make it look like you actually have a website? What a dope. I also noticed that Gerry isn't using the normal wooden sign stake, but a slab of Pressure Treated lumber. These must have cost a fortune and wont de-grade to well, so plan on picking up your signs when this things done. You can save 'em for the next office you go after. I think its time for you to crawl back under that Government funded rock Mr. Palmer. I don't think that piece of crap van you drive would be up for the daily trips to Augusta anyway. Hey, since we're pals, I'll do you a favor and vote for the other guy. You can thank me later, or better yet, buy me a drink at the opening of Hollywood Slots. Seams to me you voted against that one as well. Bangor will do just fine without "friends" like Gerry in Augusta. Now if we can get rid of Joe Perry, we'll be on the right track.
