Hi y'all - It seemed to me that many of you might appreciate getting a little flavor of what we Mainers call "The Real Maine" as portrayed by the major newspaper of The Real Maine. Though the paper is a bit liberal, IMO, it does offer a reflection of the populace.

But don't leave here - come back so we can discuss and shed light.

Wow,

That is a lot of posts, over a very small number of issues.

One drug bust, one molestation and one lawsuit.

For a large city, that accounts for a very quite day.

You are right about the populace part. The only use I have for that rag is wrapping up fish guts or lining my birds cage

Agreed. I try to never actually buy it. At one time it was a great paper, but when it hired personnel from the Boston Globe, it sunk to being just another liberal newspaper like the Globe, without the writers. The way I protest that is by not buying it. It's online for the few good articles I read.

We use the BDN to start fires with in our woodstove.

I get bundles of them in Bangor at the municipal recycling drop-off station.

Also in the garden a thick layer of BDN goes on the ground before you spread horse manure to prepare for spring planting.

Oh, that is disrespectful! Let's appreciate good fertilizer.

Internet, Fox News, local stations aren't bad, and BDN is online for the stuff you can't get anywhere else.
