My Hero!

I have a new man-crush. The object of my affections is Paul LePage, the governor of Maine. Why him, you ask?

Because cojones!
The LePage administration is taking another step toward pushing welfare recipients to find jobs. The Department of Health and Human Services announced on Wednesday that, starting October first, "able bodied" adults with no dependents who get SNAP benefits -- often called food stamps -- will have to work 20 hours per week or do volunteer work. There are an estimated 12,000 recipients in Maine who meet that standard.
Needless to say, LaPage is a republican...

Read a story about him taking over as Governor, and ending "snow days" for state employees. Said if his family's grocery stores were open, the state offices were open.
