Next Thursday, I'll be talking with former Maine Chief Justice Daniel Wathen about the Lewiston shooting commission he chaired. It's a free program at the Lewiston Public Library at noon on Feb. 20. I promise you'll mostly hear from the judge.

@NatForMaine @CNN @Acosta Yup, I went to high school in Fairfax County, just over the line from Alexandria. And I probably spent too many nights in Alexandria's Old Town during my college days, too, but I have no regrets. ;)

@NatForMaine First, I was neither born nor raised in Alexandria, though I think it's a great place. Second, you're wrong about reporters. And I think I would have a far better sense of that than you since I actually am a reporter & know a great many other reporters.

If Denmark wants to buy a state, Maine seems a better bet. It would be a whole lot cheaper -- always a benefit -- and its addition would turn the Danes into a North Atlantic powerhouse for the first time since the Vikings faded from the scene.

Thousands of Danish citizens are launching an effort to buy California as a response to Trump’s attempt to take Greenland. They say they will provide Californians with “rule of law, universal health care, fact-based politics, and a lifetime supply of Danish pastries.”

@MaineLogic What do I have to do with this? Not my word. Not my column. Not even my newspaper. Besides, if we don't disagree with columnists at times, what's the point of having them?

For a century, Fort Bragg was named for a Confederate general. Then, for two years, it was named Fort Liberty. Now, it is again Fort Bragg -- supposedly named for a WWII Maine private, Roland Bragg, who performed heroically during the Battle of the Bulge.

@mayorauburn @aidanfitzryan @BostonGlobe I'll agree that a polarized politics doesn't help newspapers. Both sides insist we're not fair to them.
