Elected Officials' Headshots Still Recovering from Maine Town Hall
Look, my home state of Maine is in the news (in Maine, no one else ever notices). Guess why! Here, I'll give you a hint. Rhymes with 'frown ball.' Ayuh, you got it…
An estimated 450 people from throughout Maine’s 2nd Congressional District and beyond gathered in Brewer Tuesday night to give their elected representatives a piece of their minds.
BUT:
U.S. Sens. Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe and U.S. Rep. Michael Michaud were no shows.
Instead the dozens of people who traveled from such places as Washington County, Casco, Saco, East Millinocket, Orrington, the St. John Valley, Bangor, and York County, had to make due [sic -- copyedit moose must be on vacation] by addressing blown up photographs of the three propped up against three empty chairs that had been reserved for them at the front of the room.
Yes. Yes. So for over two hours the citizens of Maine hollered at these photographs, berating them for everything from "plans to nationalize health care, the federal stimulus package, recent corporate bailouts, and the cash for clunkers program," not to mention the proposal where Obama comes to take our guns. And then, I dunno, I guess everyone got bored and went home, leaving the thoroughly chastised headshots to ponder the error of their ways, forever, on folding chairs at Jeff’s Catering in Brewer.
Sure, you flatlanders may call it crazy, but where I come from we call it Yankee ingenuity ("patriotism").
And now, if you'll excuse me, I have an audience with this picture of the Pope.

Why does copyedit moose only have three legs? Did copyedit moose vote in the Afghanistan election? Did the Taliban catch copyedit moose drinking again. Poor copyedit moose.
You shot at copyedit moose because the writing was doo.
You are mean to copyedit moose! Also, there is no "the" before "copyedit moose." Duh. Copyedit moose just exists. So copyedit moose has a drinking problem and likes the dice. What of it? Let she who has not sinned cast the first copyedit moose.
See how I put a picture of the copyedit moose up there, so you can tell it what you think?
Oh copyedit moose! You always hit South Beach when disaster strikes.
