Moving On.....

Time for a few folks to move along...... Election 2010 has come and gone and the VOB was pretty spot on with his predictions. Glad to see Joe Perry and Hal Wheeler got the boot from voters. Both men are an embarrassment to the City. I'll miss the sometimes comical utterings of Hal, but not the looooong winded oratory that came with them. Joe can go back to running McDonalds Market. Shelling out stamps and 40 oz beers to the locals is really all that dope was ever qualified to do. So in the end, a good day for Bangor on that front.

Sorry to see DA Almy tripping over his feet with the murder of "Greenie" down on the waterfront over Labor Day weekend. He's got the names and all the evidence he needs, but hasn't come forth with the story. Greeenies friends and relatives deserve better than that. Looks like some major favoritism being handed out by law enforcement. Must be nice to have parents in high places.

I'm a little pissed about the Bangor Police officer who was told to remove his firearm prior to entering the polls in Bangor. Lets make a big deal about nothing, and cloud over the REAL issue here people. Why was this dipshit voting while on duty??? And he did it again on Election Day! This just shows how Bangor Police feel they are better than you and I. I'm sure he had plenty of off-duty time to early vote, or go to the polls on Election Day. This is outrageous in my book, and Chief "Chicken Little" Gastia should grow a pair and discipline this officer publicly. I voted on my lunch break, thank you very much.

Hats off to the Bangor Boys Soccer team for the State Title. I was impressed by the showing by parents and fans lining the bridges over I-95 waving to the departing buses. Lets see if the football team can pull it off as well.

Thats it for now, keep the faith folks..........

Down to the Wire - Election 2010

Here we go kids, down to the wire. This is going to be a close one on all fronts. Here's my take.....

For the Gov race- put me down for Cutler. I like LaPage, but I think he'll slide at the end due to some of his behavior. Many old timers are a little afraid of him. Either way, Paul or Eliot, Maine will be a better place to work and live. My wife thinks Paul's to drastic, but I think drastic things need to be done.

For State Senate - Sorry Joe, shows over for you. Even without all the nasty campaign rhetoric that's been flying on this one. Nichi is embarrassed by some of the mailings going out, but she's not involved in it. Blame the RNC for the mud slinging. Joe has such a piss poor record in Augusta, he should be easy pickings, without all the mud slinging. I do find the humor in the "Joe Perry needs to keep his hands in his own pockets" mailings. That's some funny shit right there my friends.

For State Rep, I'll give the nod to Damon. Butterfield is a tool, plain and simple. He's a hack from day one. He needs to get a real job for a change. He actually stated that Mainers are overtaxed, but we should "get over it". Steve, the doors over there.......

For City Council I've gotta go with Durgin, Hawes, and Bearse. I'd like to see Longo beat out Ms Hawes, but that wont happen. She's entrenched in that seat for another term. Hal Wheeler's days are numbered, as they should be. He's dumped a ton of cash into radio and BDN advertising this past week. I thought you were in danger of loosing your house Hal? Maybe you should focus on that, and save your money.

On the National stage, I'm thinking that Mike will get re-elected, and possibly Pingree, although she's been getting bit of a run for her money lately, so we'll call that one a toss-up.

That's all from me. Read em and weep folks.
