I want to share an embarrassing moment. [View all]
With Labor Day weekend approaching, we have a lot of summer tourists. I was working at a Community Dinner and a nice out-of-state lady said "I cannot believe what I heard on the news about your Governor." She continued to express her sadness for the people of Maine. A man, who I assume was probably her husband, walked up and said "How can you be sad for the people, they were the idiots that elected him twice." Now, the man had a point. It was a majority of the citizens of Maine that elected him twice. I could not come up with any response so I just kept my mouth shut and disappeared into the crowd.
