Left: Author Stephen King. Right: Maine Gov. Paul LePage (file photo) Among things you should never do: 1) Vandalize a beautiful but haunted 1958 Plymouth Fury 2) Experiment with reanimating the dead; 3) Dump pig blood on Carrie White at the prom; 4) Suggest that unabashed progressive Stephen King would ever move away from his beloved Maine for the sake of lower taxes in another state. Unless you are Maine's idiot teabagger governor Paul LePage. He got reelected, and now he wants to eliminate the state's progressive income tax and replace the revenue with an increase in sales taxes, the most regressive tax possible. And worse, he kind of
"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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
a literate man understands the functioning of the state, and a mouth-breathing demagogue does not? big surprise.

Is "mouth-breathing demagogue" a genus or a phyla?
Difficult to Overlook a guy who's willing to pay a Lot.

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.
Yep, he's really Shining a light on LePage....

Dok -- vis a vis Roxanne Quimby: google Burt's Bees
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.

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.

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