We didn’t receive any rain here over the past 24 hours.

The GOP is reportedly now in a “Civil War,”  Hillary Clinton’s emails have been hacked and anything that could cast her in a bad light is being leaked slowly to the press, and Maine’s governor, our very own quote factory, has publically called for a more authoritarian  “Trump like” president to stop the nation’s decline into anarchy at the hands of President Obama.

This election is a little bit like an approaching hurricane.  “It’s going to get worse before it’s over.”
