At one time I knew a lot of people working in the HVAC industry, and that’s where I first heard the version I used.

ROTFLMAO! I’ve never heard it put quite that way. Before this, the best version I’ve heard was from (I believe) Bored of the Rings, where someone says “the fewmets have hit the windmill.”

One of the reporters who talked to her said she looked a lot healthier than the reporters who were asking questions.

If, as LePage claimed, the state police were there for her protection, why did they permit the reporters to approach her? She didn’t really want to talk to them, but did because it was the polite thing to do. She decided on a bike ride to avoid the media outside her house.

The next flashpoint may be Tuesday if Ms Hickox hasn’t already voted by absentee ballot. If LePage doesn’t let her vote, the defecation will definitely impact on the ventilation.

I get the feeling that if they had asked, she probably would have gone along, but she doesn’t respond well to demands.

Yeah, LePage is one of the worse things to ever happen to Maine politics. He may have just energized a lot of people who would have stayed at home.

LePage is pandering to his base — he is about to be kicked out of office as governor unless he does something to get them to go to the polls. But he should have known better than to do so by trying to bully a red-headed nurse. That bird don’t run :).
