Maine hunter falls out of tree, breaks hip and back. Wildlife escapes unharmed.

This almost seems to be a daily occurrence up here in Maine. A hunter shoots himself, shoots a friends, shoots a stranger, suffers a heart attack or — this time — falls out of a tree while hunting.

Up in Belgrade, Maine, a hunter was up in a tree with his muzzle loader when he either fell asleep, got too drunk, or suffered some kind of medical crisis. The end result was a trip to the local hospital with a broken hip and broken back.

The good news is that whatever he was aiming to kill got away to live another day.

Could this be God’s way of telling men to stop the slaughter?

Or maybe it is just karma.

Another Maine hunter dies before he has a chance to kill.

Hunters Kill for the Sheer Fun of It

It seems that every week there is another news story about a Maine hunter who either shoots himself, shoots a friend, shoots a stranger, or simply perishes in the act of trying to kill a helpless, innocent animal.

Today there is news of a hunter whose dead body was found in the northern woods.

Sad is it might seem, at least there is one less neanderthal hunter acting out his childish killing fantasies.

 

Mika rips bully Newt for “take a bath” barb aimed at protesters.

The man who gutted Frannie Mae for $2 million worth of useless “strategic advice,” dumped his wife on her death bed for a younger woman, and destroyed the GOP with his arrogant pursuit of Bill Clinton, has done again what he does best: throw verbal Molotov cocktails at those he perceives to be his inferiors. Newt’s advice to the Occupy Wall Street protesters is that they “go get a job after they take a bath.”

How presidential, Newt.

One person, at least, decided that the real stench wasn’t coming from the protesters, but from the disgraced former Speaker of the House.

Here’s Mika Brzezinski this morning reacting to Newt’s latest bomb:

TD Bank employees don’t know how much their company makes.

Earlier today I received a letter from TD Bank — “The World’s Most Convenient Bank” — telling me they were increasing the fees on my business deposit account because the new consumer protection laws reduced their fee revenues.

So, I decided to call the bank to find out how much their fees were reduced. I spoke to four customer service representatives and not a single one knew how much TD Bank earned last quarter. I then spoke to someone named Mark Kantor, who said he was an “Escalation Specialist,” who refused to let me record our call, even though TD Bank routinely records my phone calls to them. Eventually, Mark hung up on me, as did three other customer service specialists.

The bottom line here is that TD Bank is using the new banking consumer protection laws as an excuse to raise fees on their customer. They have no other justification for doing so. And clearly, none of their so-called customer service reps have a clue about the company they work for, how much it is making, or whether or not the justification for fee increases made in its letter has any validity whatsoever.
