Fucking booming fucking school 101

Fucking BP fucking failed fucking proper fucking booming:



This about says it all:
It is not bright bright orange or yellow so you can see it, dear fledgling boomer, but so Governors, Senators, Presidents and The Media can see it.

Dear Maine Owl,
That was colorful, heartfelt and depressing. How could she get her message to Pres. Obama -- I bet he really doesn't understand booming at all, and I'm sure he would take action ! I mainly got in touch to share another sad message -- Commissioner Cole held a breakfast this morning ( June 23, 2010 )at the Sea Dog with the Bangor Chamber of Commerce to discuss -- the CONTAINER PORT ON SEARS ISLAND ! Now that the Transportation Bond passed, the State (MDOT) will soon own the rail connection to Mack Point, and I think a new marketing campaign is about to begin. The pressure's on to turn this part of Maine into a major shipping corridor ...questions remain. Will the Army Corps accept their most recent UMBT proposal? How many times are they allowed to rewrite it -- until it passes ? They're just about to redredge Searsport Harbor -- are they going to use that as part of their campaign ? And when all is said and done, will they attract an investor ? Will they talk the State govt. into funding this everlasting 3-port vision? And what the blazes will they be shipping overseas and into the U.S. ? Will we be getting stuff from China that will end up at Marden's ? Liquid Natural Gas ? Will we be sending out wind turbine parts, Blueberry juice and wood products ? The Sears Island port idea isn't over -- someone needs to tell Steve Miller of Islesboro Islands Trust that his article in the Free Press (12/17/2009) which optimistically projected zero marine industry interest, is not the final word. The MDOT is still interested, the Transportation Committee is still interested, and Gov. Baldacci is still involved -- they're painting gold leaf on their rail and port "vision" as we speak. Sears Island is still in danger -- and the MDOT didn't even pay for the breakfast at the Sea Dog !

Wow. That's something. A lot of useless, destructive crap happens in this state because big shots can push it through. I've been away for most of the last six months, so I appreciate the update.
