a literate man understands the functioning of the state, and a mouth-breathing demagogue does not? big surprise.

"Only the little people pay taxes," said shriveled vag-face Leona Helmsley, on her way to prison. You're right. It is seen by lots of folks as a form of theft. Total logical disconnect, of course, but there it is.

Difficult to Overlook a guy who's willing to pay a Lot.

On top of taxes, King and his family have donated to so many charities and they are well liked and respected among people who read. Remember, it was a 3-way race for governor each time LePage won. Most of us didn't want him in that office.

If there's any election fraud going on, it's perpetrated by Rethuglican election office workers.

"Voter fraud" is bullshit. "Election fraud" is very real. And nearly ALWAYS perpetrated by Rethuglicans.

Good for him. I know SK gets some grief from the literary types for being too popular (!) but his books are damn good. I didn't like the Under the Dome miniseries though.

He and his wife already have a place in ... drumroll ... Floriduh. In fact, his wife is apparently on the hook there for not paying property taxes.

I want him back as a zombie. BTW, fun fact: A then-grad student in history at UMaine who consulted on "Gettysburg"? Currently heading the Maine dept. of education, appointed by (drumroll) Gov. LePew.

No apology for lying? Figured.

Republicans don't apologize for lying that would require too much work from them.

Voter Id laws do not protect anyone from election fraud that actually happens which based on the news cycle is mostly republicans.

He's a selfish, Needful Thing, full of Misery and acting out of Desperation. He refuses to Carrie his own weight and deserves a kick in the Tommyknockers.

They do... And his characters gladly pay their taxes, except for the bad guys. And the reanimated cats....
