Our beloved King Paul Le­Page made another appearance recently. I feel so good knowing that we have a man like him to command us.

As is the case with all kings, King Paul must be obeyed and all of his edicts must be followed to the letter, or terrible retribution will befall us.

He says that the state must cut spending and the only way to accomplish that is to stop trying to help the most needy among us and let them survive or starve or freeze. As Marie would say, “Let them eat cake.”

The state must also stop helping those who need medical assistance; after all, it’s their own fault if they got sick or hurt. They have only themselves to blame. The state shouldn’t get involved.

Since King Paul is the most intelligent person in the state and is the only one who knows how to fix all of the problems, he fully expects that the legislators will support what he commands. If they don’t, then he will just close all schools and use those funds to do whatever he wants.

Sorry, King Paul, that action may be illegal; but, hey, he’s the king. He can do whatever he wants, can’t he? Such as take away people’s voting rights. Didn’t that work out great for him?

One day, hopefully very soon, the people of this state are going to tell LePage to shut his mouth, ride out his unfortunate term and take a hike.
