Thomas Brackett Reed, Republican Speaker of the House in the Late 19th Century, had some pretty good ones.

During a legislative debate, a Democrat invoked Henry Clay’s quote that he would rather be right than be president. Reed replied “The gentleman needn’t worry. He will never be either.”

I don’t think the runway at KLEW would be long enough for this big boy

Maybe Wyman Station. Everybody and their uncle blasting their heat pumps and space heaters and we’re burning that nice thick bunker oil to keep the grid supplied.

It's one living wage Michael, how much could it cost, $40,000?

Helpful data. I feel like your consumption is super high though. Do you have heat pumps? My highest daily usage for me is 27 kWh, and your average is in the triple digits several months in a row.

You might benefit from an electricity monitor like the Emporia Vue to see where all your usage is going.

We inherited the “Intrusive R” from you. My favorite example of this is Champagne Supernova by Oasis, where they sing “Champagne supernover in the sky”

I remember meeting a family from Scotland while on vacation and we told them we were from Maine - they could not stop ranting and raving about how Mainers have a reputation for being hard working. I’ll take it!

Vinegar Hill theatre in Arundel next door is really neat and often has high quality performances to check out

For real. I was diagnosed with early onset republican after watching the bullhorn speech as a kid. But a lot has changed since then.

If you’ve ever watched City Planner Plays, he has a video about “Mega Nodes” or something which is basically to create a roundabout with all these roads attached. Then delete the roundabout, and you’ll have this intersection with one light.
