Maine governor says 47 percent of state’s residents choose not to work

[IrishAyes]

42. Undoubtedly there ARE some able bodied folks who don't work at a paid job, but then those paying

jobs can be few and far between in hard times. Big difference between can't and won't.

The people who deserve scorn and long prison sentences are the ones who made it impossible for so many willing able bodied people to earn their own way. These gd GOPers rob people blind, kick them while they're down, and then lord it over their victims. A lower form of life never crept out of the primordial ooze.

Southern Apologists, please note:

We're talking about MAINE here. As far north as you can go in this country. While I wasn't technically born there due to military family transfer, it is my heart's home. The only thing I can imagine to explain the sheer idiocy of how this man got elected other than outright massive fraud is that elections tend to happen in winter a lot when people's brains might freeze over. Don't ever tempt me to tell you more or I will.

But it isn't region bashing when I'm outraged about things some people do there, same as it isn't region bashing when I decry Southerners who behave outrageously or those apologists who snap "Give 'em a break, you arrogant damnYankee!"

Now that I hope I've gotten the last word in, can we please use reason in the future? Can we please stop so long as I've delivered the final rant? There are really more important things for us to quarrel over.
