THE RULE IS THERE AREN'T ANY RULES. BLAST AWAY, AND MAY THE BEST MAN WIN.

SCANDAL INDULGED, ALTHOUGH WE'LL PROBABLY TAKE OUT ANY BIGOTED STUFF ABOUT MY OPPONENT - BUT YOU MAY DISPLAY YOUR BIGOTRY TOWARDS ME TO YOUR HEART'S DELIGHT.

A Brief Primer on those deficiencies of mine you may wish to bloviate on: reactionary, member in good standing of the Theological Mafia, heartless foreign policy realist, or if you prefer, brainless foreign policy idealist, misanthrope (not really true, but you could SAY it), misogynist (ditto, although I do have my qualms about the feminazis), deficient in my appreciation of the qualities ascribed to dogs (i.e., cat aficionado), amply girthed, whatever, GO FOR IT.

Death to the PC Dweebs!

MASH NOTE

"Wow, that picture of you on your website is only 15 years old? Time has not been kind to you. I strongly suspect you are a drunk, judging by your complexion. As for the rest of the garbage there, talk about noxious pap!"

Professor Frary responds:

The labored hostility of such dolts soothes and delights me as the music of an Angelic Choir.

CANDID

Your candid words assure me that there still exists a little piss and vinegar in these neutered times we call 2008.

You have my vote.

UNION BOSSES STOOGE

I love your site, your honesty and attitude. My only disappointment is that you have completely missed the one HUGE reason that Michaud ever got elected in the first place: UNIONS. Michaud is/has been/ will be in the pocket of unions. (Rumor has it that he had to divide half of his Washington office to share space with his union thug friends.) I'm sure you've heard of the phrase: bought and paid for... If Michaud did an honest tag, his would say "bought and paid for by (insert union organization here)\A>R> Skowhegan"

Professor Frary: I love your message!

You have a point, one which needs a lot of attention. The truth of what you say is revealed in Mike's FEC report for the 2006 election. He meets the essential criteria for a puppet. He is visually presentable and he has no brain. I'm expecting an essay explaining how the unions, led by Mike and others in the leadership, managed to destroy the Great Northern mill, from a man who knows the story in detail and knows how to write it up. This will go on the website.

TERRIFYING

I am a former student of your from Middlesex County College and I never thought I would see you run for Congress. Your website is witty yet terrifying. I find myself, here at work, constantly reading it because I find it addicting. Hahaha!

Honestly, you are so over the top in the way you have chosen to run this race that you might just be elected to Congress based on your Roaring Twenties, WASPy image! Warmest regards,

Matt

Wild in the Streets



I looked at the wild Frary website. Seems that he is out-radicalizing anything I have seen in Berkeley...albeit from a different perspective. What a refreshing and dangerously energizing candidate. He infuriates and entertains equally.

Pillory & Hillary

Comments, rants, praises and the like here! I am absolutely delighted to hear that John is going to run for Congress.I have known him in New Jersey for nearly forty years, and admired his wit and absolute integrity. John is that rare human being who is not afraid to say what he thinks, and is not captured by the stifling "rules" of pc. He will say during the campaign what must be said; he will pillory Damascus Pelosi and the rest of the defeatist traitors to the US. He will not refrain from mentioning Billy boy's sexual escapades, which currently stand as \"proof\" of his wife's "experience" in politics. He might even ask the question about how many Monicas Hilary intends to keep in reserve if she (God forbid!) enters the White House again. Will John alienate the crowd of fashionable philanderers who masquerade as statesmen and women? He surely will. That's good; somebody has to do it. He will also question the legitimacy of black ministers who preach hatred against the United States and the white man. What luck! to have him as a new- style politician! He represents real change, not one that is masquerading as new, but is really not. Right on John! (I consider it shameful that a newspaper would fire him for saying things that must be said. I certainly would not buy such a paper, and the products that it advertises.) Would you call me -- and my sympathizers-- right-wing extremists? That would also be untrue.

Good luck. Dr J. H.

Elucidation

J. H. has an interesting history. His father, who he despised, was an MP in the Arrow Cross Party who made his accommodation with the communist regime. Joe was on the Hungarian National soccer team. He played a role in the 1956 uprising as an army lieutenant, escaped, migrated to the US, got a job digging ditches for PSE&G, learned English, discovered an intellectual vocation, earned his PhD, and has been nominated to the Hungarian National Academy. As a dean at Rutgers Camden he was a determined enemy of political correctness.

BEST WISHES



Wishing all the best-keep up the good fight, make them all think twice, ok, enough cliches--good to see you on the internet, wife ,two kids, all is well.........good luck with the campaign,disregard the resistance,we are all tryin' to circumnavigate the slings and arrows of the overpopulated, and certaintly outrageous morons....carry on, P. diP.

Frary for Congress in 08! And a swift kick in the nuts to ethan strimling. C.J.

You Silly Man

Hon. - I read for some reason your sponsored ad in The Ellsworth American, entitled \"A Humble Apology.\" As an \"educated hack\" who alleges to have spent 32 years working in academia and with ready access to an OED, perhaps you\'ll want to brush up on English punctuation -- specifically, on how to punctuate quotations. Your not knowing rather undermines any kind of academic integrity you\'re attempting to portray in this silly ad. While I certainly have no idea what prompted your advertisement, I\'ll trust it\'s something important to you. So, for future reference and any future public tirades, here are links to resources on how to punctuate quotations that you can review to assist you in appearing more credible: http://web.uvic.ca/wguide/Pages/CitHowPuncShortQs.html

Good luck. Gretchen

Hat in Hand

When the prose is magnificent, how can mere technology cope? You see yourself what the Computer Gods did to your no doubt flawlessly punctuated prose (above).

Thank you so much for reading my ad, for whatever reason. You sound like fun, and I fully expect to carry the fun vote. May I count on you?

IMMER GERADE AUS!



Go Prof. Frary, Go!! -j.s.

MY MENTOR

Just wanted to take a moment to vouch for Professor Frary. As a former student who experienced the professor's lectures and mentorship first-hand, I can promise you that if elected, Prof. Frary will turn C-SPAN into the highest-rated cable entertainment network! I also thought of Prof. Frary when reading all the recent obits for WFB (may he rest in peace). All cited his famous quote during a run for mayor of New York City in 1965. When asked what he would do if he won, Buckley replied: \"Demand a recount.\"

Here's wishing I could cast a vote in Maine!

CRINGE-INDUCING

You do know how to pick 'em, Robert! You linked me to the most enjoyable politician's web site that I've read in a long long time. Aside from a few cringe-inducing lines, I found it stimulating and enlightening.

Note to Congressman Michaud: Always beware the man who just doesn't care whether he lives or dies. He will always have the edge.

Who Is John Frary?

I receive the Maine GOP news bulletin frequently and was intrigued by a small article that announced John Frary's bid for the Maine 2nd district Congressional seat. I asked myself "who is this John Frary?" and "is he going to be able to beat Michaud for the seat?"

Upon receipt of my GOP news I started to look at this " New" Republican contender and have been smiling with malicious glee ever since. John Frary is just what Congress needs to get moving. In complete contrast to the bland, ineffectual representative the voters of the 2nd district have now, comes John Frary's Campaign.

After reading the views and opinions of Mr. Frary I cannot but help compare him to one of our Nation's founder's, Benjamin Franklin, who I have always held in high regard. Using a combination of wit, and common sense, coupled with a stodginess that defies Political correctness, Mr. Frary puts forth his arguments and ideas in an entertaining, and refreshingly Honest way. Hmm. Commonsense, wit, determination, HONESTY???? When did any of us see that from one of our Congressmen? This campaign admits it's chances are slim in that honesty and " Straight talk" don't win elections, but I feel if enough voters get behind him, he might have a chance. Can you imagine the reaction of someone like Nancy Pelosi to Mr. Frary? That alone makes me want to get him the 2nd district seat.

Please take a moment to look at John's campaign website and if you are so inclined and if you feel as I do volunteer to help collect signatures to get John on the ballot, he can be contacted at: jfrary8070@aol.com 207-778-6685

If anything I think you just might find John Frary entertaining. I know I do....

Oh for God's sake, Frary is just a fat alcoholic who throws big words around. Comparing him to Ben Franklin is akin to comparing Bush to Lincoln. Get a grip you hopeless moron.

Grapes of Wrath

I've met Frary 30 or 40 times, and I did see him once drink three beers with a college chum who was visiting. The alcohol stuff must be what psychologists call projection, which is a fancy way of saying "look in the mirror - what you see must be what the other guy sees". A hopeless drunk sees a hopeless drunk, etc.

As for the "girth" issue, the better to tackle Nancy Pelosi with.

Why would an honest, fun loving, kindly, outspoken, witty and courageous man disturb you? He's 67 years old, and this is his Last Hurrah. It's a great way to go out or get in, and with the strange mood among the electorate this year, lightning may strike.

I'll keep you posted.

MALE LESBIANS

Working in any campaign is an extraordinarily stressful and demanding enterprise, but working with Frary has been a real hoot. Professor Frary clearly doesn't give a rat's rump whether he wins or not - and the staff have been cautioned very clearly about the dangers of thinking about "electablity". Every time we start wondering if we can carry this demographic or take that issue away from the incumbent, we are told to remember "it's only a movie". That seems to help.

The Professor has forbidden us from saying anything bad about the incumbent. We can make fun of him, but nothing personal or strident allowed. And why would we? Mike Michaud is at least mentally stable, unlike someone like Tom Allen, his cooleague to the south, and I had to watch the two of them in action in an excruciatingly boring hour and a half in a university setting. It was called "New Choices" or something equally bland, but maybe 'Mating Rituals of the Metrosexuals'" would be better title. The fake tans, blow dried hair and false bonhomie were revolting. They were obviously channeling Starbucks in the Wilds of Washington County. Allen, a putative candidate for the United States Senate, actually apologized to the somnolent attendees after an hour and more of this blather had reduced the poor things to dropping their faces in their plates. The big, bluff, plaid flannel shirted Michaud just looked so much healthier than the reptilian Allen, an ubernerd, but I just couldn't look at Mike without that song "I'm a Lumberjack and I'm OK!" flitting through my head. As for metrosexuals, at one point, Allen went off on tangent where he bantered about Mike "kidding me about the size of my district" - three times. One wonders what Dr Freud would have made of the interplay had he been in the audience, and still awake. ("Metrosexual" is not a term we hear up here much, so I'd have to define it if we used it: "otherwise homosexual men who sleep with women" i.e. "male lesbian"). Michaud endorsed Edwards, so maybe there's a tie in on the "preening" issue - there IS a youtube video 2 minutes long of Edwards brushing his hair to the tune of "I Feel Pretty". It practically screams out for satirical "treatment". John has already poked some fun at his own impeccable deportment, so we feel this is fair game.

Michaud REALLY won't know what to do with satire. He's a perfectly ordinary career politician, who schmoozes up to people and groups that can keep him in power. He votes with Nancy Pelosi 96.3% of the time, but he knows it wouldn't be popular to advertise the fact that he's Jane Fonda's foot stool. And satire is almost unanswerable on any budget - how do you respond to "Senator Wide Stance (R-ID)"?

Mike Michaud's brand is typical politician - placate everyone and do nothing. Our "brand" is Professor Frary, aka W.C. Fields reborn as a scourge of modern political humbug. Caning the PC establishment for your viewing pleasure. Glorying in the modern mud wrestling that passes for the conventional wisdom in today's debauched political arena.

So while we sit around the shack waiting for lightning to strike, we'll keep you informed. With all the evil at large in America, don't overlook the possibility that there is a great deal of good as well, and it is entirely possible that a good man of true character can take his case to the people and get elected. One thing's for sure - nobody has tried it lately.

FRARY FOR CONGRESS!

DEPLORABLE POINT COUNTERPOINT

Kennebec Journal & Morning Sentinel 02/05/2008

John Frary dishes up his own species of "political hokum" in his risible attempt to deride Mike Michaud's advocacy of a Cheney impeachment. The careful reader of Frary's letter (Sentinel, Jan. 24) will note that this congressional candidate's most substantive contribution is to foist the fatuous word "flapdoodlious" upon a politician's slight lexicon of truth. That same careful reader will look in vain through Frary's own "blather" for any claim that a Cheney impeachment might be inappropriate because the vice president was innocent of the criminal charges that Congress could make.

Instead, Frary seems to imply that Cheney's best defense is the fact that the administration's pathetic approval rating (32 percent) is not quite as bad as that of Congress (23 percent). But has Frary considered the possibility that Congress might even improve its abysmal approval rating by bringing this corrupt administration to book?

Surely "the disillusionment that many Americans feel towards their government" simply stems from the inability of a scandal-ridden Congress to deal effectively with the arrogant ineptitude of our executive leadership and its irresponsible policies.

Michaud apparently recognizes this -- but does our would-be Congressman Frary?

Perhaps Frary has pirouetted onto this piece of political thin ice without even noticing his peril. Does he really want to tie his candidacy to the intellectual and moral bankruptcy of the current regime? As a long-shot candidate, he might better declare his independence of those who have spent their eight years in Washington bringing our government into profound disrepute both at home and abroad.

______________________________________________________________

To the Editor,

Richard Spear's Feb. 5 letter responding to John Frary's criticism of Mike Michaud's "flapdoodlious drivel" somehow managed to miss every single point Frary made.

The main point that Mr. Spear somehow managed to miss is that Michaud said in September that partisan impeachment hearings by the Democrats would be divisive, while in December he wrote a letter to the Judiciary Committee calling for impeachment hearings in order "to heal the nation's divisions," despite the fact that they would be just as partisan now as they would be back then.

Unlike Spear, Michaud knows the impeachment agitation is going nowhere. That's why he has made no effort to follow his letter up with any kind of public justification or explanation. His letter to the judiciary committee was just a little sop to people like Spear, who are so blinded by hatred that they can't follow even the simplest argument. I'm sure that Michaud doesn't share that hatred. He's just playing the game and expects no harm to come from it.

I know John Frary and I know that he is very critical of some of the administration's policies. Spear accuses him of defending those policies without a shred of evidence.

AND THE CANDIDATE WEIGHS IN:

Mr. Spear,

It's abnormal to engage in friendly conversation with someone and then write a malicious personal attack in the newspaper. Nothing I ever said to you provides grounds for representing me as a toady of the current administration. Nor have you ever contended with me on that matter in our discussions.

Since you have never given me reason to believe that you are so stupid as to misconstrue every single point I made in my criticism of Michaud's bogus support of impeachment, I can only assume that you are motivated by some kind of mysterious personal animus.

No reason we can't be civil in public, as long as you make no further pretense of cordiality or interest in serious discussion. Just be aware that I regard you with the disgust and contempt you so are so clearly anxious to earn.
