old man 76's JournalA Christmas Thought from the Old Man
I have been listening and following the thoughts and actions of the new Pope. I am not Catholic but this Pope would make most people of good conscience feel humble. My wish for the coming year is that our political representatives, both left and right, would embrace some of the Pope's doctrine and work for the betterment of all people.
The President's handshake
Yesterday the president attended a funeral. He exchanged required formalities with other world leaders and did shake hands with the president of Cuba. Fox news and the republican were all over it. Now there is a time and place for everything and in some situations one must be a true person of dignity, honor and culture such as the funeral of one of the most respected person in our time. This was not the time for political posturing or debate. The President did the appropriate greeting for the occasion. I would be a democrat if only not to be associated with people who seem to be ignorant, crude and have no sense of dignity or honor.
Commissioner Mayhew
The Waterville Morning Sentinel had some harsh words for DHHS Commissioner Mary Mayhew handling of some issues such as outsource of transportation of people to medical appointments. The paper also cited the moving of the Portland office to a more remote location. The implication was she was not doing a good job and refused to own up to it. They were wrong because the commissioner does not work for the people of the state of Maine she works for Governor Le Page and his agenda. If you check with the Governor she is doing a great job and deserves a raise.
