Your columnist Cynthia Dill has a New Year’s Day prescription for all “the good people of Maine and the United States.” From her high horse of wisdom she tells all 324,118,787 Americans that we should not be spending our time this year “dishing out [our] haughty and condescending disappointment in others.”

Is this the same Cynthia Dill who, in a column after last July’s Democratic Convention in Philadelphia, called supporters of Bernie Sanders “bozos,” an “angry scrum of Bernie Bros,” “loons,” “bums,” and “idiots”?

It seems that Ms. Dill, who with those remarks appeared to be vying for the title of “the Ann Coulter of the Maine Democratic Party,” is now trying a different tack. Can she hear her own advice, or is it just meant for others?
