Letter: Elect McBrady to Falmouth Town Council
I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Charlie McBrady as a friend and neighbor for over 15 years. I have also worked with him on a number of professional projects. Myself as a software engineer, husband and father of two, and the official Falmouth Little League photographer, I know a few things about organization, multi-tasking, and […]

The Universal Notebook: Hillary Rodham Clinton in 2016
Remember back in 1998, when then-first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton alleged that there was a “vast right-wing conspiracy” behind all the attacks on her husband? Whitewater, Travelgate, Filegate, Paula Jones, Gennifer Flowers, Monica Lewinsky – heck the dirt bags of the right even charged that the Clintons had killed White House attorney Vince Foster and […]
Letter: Cape Elizabeth councilor counters former colleague
I have served on the Cape Elizabeth Town Council since 2008. In a recent edition of The Forecaster, former Councilor Sara Lennon was quoted as saying “people in Cape don’t want development; that’s why we moved here.” I don’t believe the issue is as black and white as Ms. Lennon suggests. Her own record on […]

The Right View: Scarborough lawmaker's work belies 'GOP War on Women'
Does the Democrat-manufactured “Republican War on Women” make anyone else’s eyeballs roll dangerously high up into their sockets? Personally, I’m pretty tired of being told I’m a victim. Especially when there are real victims out there who need real help. It’s pretty insulting, actually. Just look at the recent headline that stunned the world regarding […]
