"Don't squat with your spurs on."

"Congress is going to start tinkering with the Ten Commandments just as soon as they can find someone in Washington who has read them."

I’m the granddaughter of potato farmers from Aroostook County and the daughter of a World War II veteran and a public school teacher. Maine values are in my bones.
