Lightning sears man's shoes
Both of Paul Parker's sneakers had holes burned in them in their insteps after lightning struck the ground near where he was standing about 2 p.m., said Androscoggin County Deputy Dennis Sampson. Sampson said emergency workers told him that Parker "seemed all right, just very shaken up" after the incident.
Parker and his brother, Scott Sanborn, 32, of Cape Elizabeth, were out on the lake fishing from a canoe when a thunderstorm came up Saturday afternoon, and they went to Tripp Lake Girls Camp for shelter, Sampson said. They stood under an overhang to get out of the rain, but when Sanborn went to the shore to check on the canoe, lightning struck near the other brother, Sampson said. The lightning didn't strike Parker, but he was affected by the shock.
Poland Fire and Rescue took Parker to Central Maine Medical Center for evaluation, but he was not believed to be seriously injured, Sampson said.

of course their is fraud.
So what. That's what I meant by Mr. Nachman's letter meaning almost nothing. Of course, there is fraud and some undocumented immigrants will benefit from fraud. So. As long as thee Government does what reasonably can be done to control fraud it isn't an issue because no matter what is done the cost of proventing the fraud will exceed the benefit of preventing it. What sensde does it make to spend $100 t save $95.

This is the problem.
I have seen these types of "could care less" teachers with my daughter when she has had questions. Many teachers will not give a student one minute of their time outside of regular scheduled school time. These bad apples are becoming the orchard. Sure there are some great teachers, but they are now the exception, not the rule.
A decade or two ago it was the other way around.

I didn't say or imply any of that.
I said Scarcelli might have been a plant to weaken the D's. The article suggested coordination between Scarcelli and the Republicans. The rest of your comment is just the usual R paranoia.
Please name a single conservative D who has run as an independent who coordinated their campaign with State D's to take votes away from Republican candidates.
