About This Blog

"Maine: The Way Life Was Last Week" is Al Diamon's review of the news of the previous seven days from the perspective of a native Mainer with an attitude problem. Diamon has worked in the Maine media as a reporter, editor (big mistake), TV commentator (bigger mistake), radio talk-show host (enormous mistake) and columnist for more than 30 years, and has won lots of awards (although none a normal person has ever heard of). He also writes the Media Mutt blog for downeast.com and the weekly column "Politics & Other Mistakes," which appears in 10 Maine newspapers. He lives in Carrabassett Valley, where he serves as harbor master. If you need a mooring, just mention his name. It's solid gold. Really.
