E.P. Dumont: Thomas has it right

This is in response to an article in the sports section, Jan. 24.

Boston Bruins goaltender Tim Thomas decided to be absent from the White House recognition of the Bruins winning the Stanley Cup and offered his reasons why. His absence was a great statement that our politicians are missing the boat on issues regarding this country and their way of governing this great country.

I applaud this super athlete.

E. Paul Dumont, Lewiston

The insomniac twins were synchronized today.

Ron calls Dan at midnight: Get up! It's time to bash Republicans. Dan replies: OK! And you start showing your junior high vocabulary.

Take two pills and don't call anyone.

He wasn't being honored, his

He wasn't being honored, his team was. He boycotted the event for his own selfish reasons, not much of a team player, is he?

He's an athlete

He probably makes more money taking a crap than an infantryman makes in six months.

He can pound sand and shovel pig manure for all I care.
