Anyone who’s been to Libertarian National Conventions knows about one of the party’s more colorful characters, Starchild. A nice guy, I sat and spoke with him at a luncheon at the 1998 LP national convention. In many ways I considered him a my opposite number in the Libertarian movement. There were the similarities: We both […]

As WCSH was in commercial break, getting ready for Joe Cupo’s weather report, Joe was webcast in a casual conversation saying, “Did you hear those idiots passed that bond in Falmouth?” OOPS. Hey, you may be in commercial for TV, but on the web, your mike may be live. Oh well, they’ll learn eventually. It’s […]
Any glitches from WCSH’s webcast pales in comparison to the WMTW feed. Most of the time they are broadcasting conversations between the field reporters and the control room. Someone tell these guys that they are still on the air… - Technorati Tags: Election, Maine, Media |
Earlier this evening while the polls were still open, my wife took a phone call that was a recording saying something about how a Democrat was omitted from the ballots in Owl’s Head, and it had been fixed and if we’d intended to vote that way to go now to vote… This is of course […]
WMTW TV Channel 8 and WCSH Channel 6 are both streaming their local election coverage over the internet. Attaboy to both. I can now watch the two TV channels on my computer, and swap between CNN & C-SPAN on my TV. Though WCSH seems to have goofed for about 15 minutes where instead of the […]
I’ve noticed that CNN is showing the results of non-major candidates (so long as they are in the top 4 vote getters) in their ticker. But you’d think they would at least recognize what party they come from. I noticed that Pat LaMarche the Green Party candidate for Maine Governor was listed (as she’s been […]
The Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights, aka TABOR, aka Question 1 is looking to be an interesting one. When I first looked at 8pm with 5% of precincts in Maine, Tabor was behind with about 65% against 35% for. Presently, with 10% of precincts reporting the percentage is creeping up in favor of Tabor with 44% […]
Reprinted from a recent comment of mine over at Jacqueline Mackie Paisley Passey’s blog: The Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights (TABOR) is question #1 here in Maine. It would limit the growth of government spending at the state and local levels to only the rate of inflation and population growth. Any further growth in budgets or […]
Perry DeHavilland at Samizdata.net : And so the Charities Commission is to have its powers vastly increased so that the state, and only the state, gets to say what is a Charity and what constitutes a ‘public benefit’. Not only can the state decide who gets preferential tax treatment, soon it’s bureaucrats will be able […]
There’s a political saying here in Maine, “Always save your Brennan signs,” because for a couple of decades, Joe Brennan was always running for election of re-ellection for some race, Governor, Congress, Dog-Catcher… whatever.I ran for the state legislature twice under the Libertarian banner in 1998 and 2000. I may have not gotten elected, but […]
