Harmon column callous, insulting to occupiers
I was stunned recently to learn, thanks to M.D. Harmon, a retired journalist, that the denizens of Occupy Wall Street’s “Obamavilles” — read this carefully now — “would rather live on your income instead of earning their own by imitating your hard work, patient saving and investment.” With respect to Harmon’s opinion, this is by […]

Engineer of wood smoke? Really?
This letter is in response to Ernest Grolimund’s letter (Kennebec Journal, Nov. 7). I haven’t heard such drivel for a long time. He’s an engineer of wood smoke. Just what school did he go to to get that degree? I’ve burned wood ever since I was a kid, and I don’t know anyone who has […]

I try to act unselfishly and fairly in my dealings with others to reflect some appreciation for their service to myself and the country.

Time Warner continues to plow on with the analog-to-digital conversion. This conversion requires that people must rent Time Warner’s DVD recorder to watch one channel and record another channel. The conversion will not allow other VCR or DVD recorders to work. Thousands of Maine people have a store-bought VCR or DVD recorder that no longer […]

Correction: Collins voted no on Colombia trade pact
A recent letter incorrectly stated Sen. Susan Collins’ position on the Colombia Free Trade Agreement. She voted against this agreement. She did, however, support the free trade agreement with South Korea because she believes it will support good jobs here in Maine. As President Barack Obama said, this agreement will make it easier for American […]

He saw umpires from his board go all over the country from California to Chicago, to Florida, Texas, […]

Union should realize that times have changed
I loved your article on the Maine State Employees Association contract talks. I have never seen such a long list of complaints, accusations, character assassinations, crying, sniveling and whining by the MSEA/SEIU leadership. Then I read their old executive director is back as their general counsel, and then it made sense. Well, here is a […]

‘The Laramie Project’ in Gardiner powerful, moving
Kudos to the members of the Gardiner Area High School Drama Club for their moving rendition of “The Laramie Project.” The strong message of hope was evident individually through the actors’ performances and collectively as this remarkable group of teenagers took on a controversial subject. Nick Bucci’s stellar performance as the father of Matthew Shepard […]
