Naran is a somewhat mature young lady from Kennebunk(port?). She thinks her property taxes are waaay too high. Sure, Kennebunk(port?) is a nice place to live, very appealing, with good schools, and has high property values, but you’ve got to have something to complain about.
To her great credit, she was in favor of allowing gay marriage and is smart regarding issues relating to homosexuality. She is also a good moderator, from what I can tell. *
Probably the meanest thing I can say about her is that she has a tendency to use cutesy little catch phrases in her posts. Things like referring to herself as “Miss Prunelope Pimstep, Auntie Mabel, Betsy Ross.” There may be a completely hilarious context or backstory that I’m not familiar with, but my best current theory is that she uses this old-timey cutesy talk because the older men using the website find it erotic.
She must endeavor to be sexually appealing because the high taxes of Kennebunk(port?) have forced her towards a destructive life of prostitution. It is through this lifestyle which she gained her tolerance of homosexuals. In 1997 her “Madam,” a woman named Ms. Berrykins, invited her over for a few glasses of fine cabernet. A summer storm knocked a tree down, blocking the the driveway to Ms. Berrykin’s home and preventing Naran from leaving. Another bottle was opened, and after some awkward drunken foreplay Naran and Ms. Berrykins initiated their brief yet bitter affair. Their safe word was “Auntie Mabel.”
Although Naran never forgave Ms. Berrykins for leaving her two weeks later (for a young Italian carpenter named “Giorggio,” no less), she henceforth gained a respect for the strong feelings a person can have towards a member of the same gender.
Giorggio and Ms. Berrykins moved to Naples (the original one, in Italy), where they married, had three children and lived happily ever after until Giorggio became entangled in the feared Carpenter’s Mafia, which killed him after he accrued large debts on purchases of hardwood, 4 inch nails, and drywall.
*Once upon a time, when this website was young, fresh, and idealistic, I thought Naran was a pretty decent moderator. She seemed reserved and fair. But for whatever reason this has dramatically changed. She now spends nearly every waking hour policing every opinion presented on the site, metaphorically humping the Governor’s leg but only because she can’t get an appointment to hump it in person. Any opinion critical of anything the Governor does or supports is attacked vehemently. And, when there is a lull in the activity on AMG, she hits the Portland Press Herald and comments up to 60 times each day.
So I apologize. I was wrong. May whatever God you believe in forgive me. – AMGLOLZ on April 15, 2011.
This thread gets better and better. Pastor Bob and Vic Berardelli are throwing down about the GOP convention happening on a Sunday, and Starvin’ Marvin’ Mendros (“Bob S, your comments are not that of a scholar, they only show an absolute and complete ignorance of the Resurrection and Easter. Your elitist bigotry is showing.”) and Bob S. (“I was waiting for someone to bring out the bigot accusations. Well, I would love to debate you Mendros, but I have to get ready for the 4 oclock mass. I try to live by the Scripture, not by the Catholic doctrine.”) are pissing on each other about who’s more religious. Of course, Naran is throwing in some inconsequential drivel, to make it look like she’s “moderating,” but I guess they don’t need liberals to get nasty with each other!

Any bets as to when Naran will post the Bill Nemitz article on the tiny Constitutional problem the State Treasurer IGNORED?
SHe is already in deflection mode with some “Maine Wire” MSHA hit job
Full deflection mode. And while in one breath she’s condemning MSHA with accusations that have yet to be countered, much less adjudicated, she’s chastising anyone who dares rush to judgment regarding that arrogant martinet Poliquin.
And I don’t think it’s a rush to judgment when the Constitution says “don’t do it” and Poliquin does it anyway.
Poliquin has spent a great deal of time and activity building and implementing a new business plan for his LLC while being State Treasurer.
I’m not sure what more to write after that sentence.
How about, “Buh-bye!”
Naran on the whole Poliquin Fiasco: “We’re getting hearsay, but that’s not the facts.
Like anyone else, Poliquin deserves a “fair trial,” instead of being summarily condemned”
But clearly in Narans world, Dale McCormick shouldnt be afforded the same latitude….She completely contradicts herself in back to back posts!
“donations to theater companies in Monmouth, along with hiring one’s domestic partner for political lobbying say “Slush-Fund.”"
RE: Legage’s daughter, I sure am glad Naran is consistant on nepotism….
Disclosure: I never really had a problem with LePage hiring his daughter, nor do I have a problem with McCormick contracting with her partner if her partner is qualified…..
Any ideas on the best way to lobby LaPage to select Naran for Director of Communication?
I’d bet if we got a bunch of liberals to plead with the governor not to select her, it’d happen.
I believe the best method to contact the Governor is by anonymous fax; those tend to get the most rapid replies.
Chris, that’s a great idea! Maybe we can convince the Governor that Naran is black so that he can “adopt” her and move her into the Blaine House. That way she’d stop bitching about how bad things are in Kennebunk(port).
Does anyone know if Narnia Raw-Scalding has a little beard?
You mean The Narantula?
The PPH ran a story this morning about the education “reforms” the governator wants to put into effect. Actually, one or two of them might be worthwhile, but the one getting all the attention is the funding of private (incuding religious) schools probably to the detriment of public schools. Pretty hot topic.
Naran got pretty hot, that’s for sure. As of 7:30 this evening she had made 70 posts to that forum. 70! That’s more than five an hour. She’s a machine, I tell you.
Of course, I don’t know what it says about me, sitting here counting how many idiotic statements that woman can make, but I’ve always liked statistics.
It will be interesting to see the comments on the NCLB article that was just posted. You can bet your pretty petticoat that she’ll toss her knickers in the ring on that one.
Erin, your comment may be precisely why she has kept her knickers on!
They are absolutely eating their own over on AMG over the caucus debacle. Naran can purge all the liberal dissenters she wants but is probably somewhat reluctant to outright boot any of the Ron Paul supporters.
The PM’s (via the “Port”) must be flying all over the place. There is no way she can keep up with the dissention on her own site and simultaneously hurl insults on the Nemitz comment page…..
High entertainment!
A special Senate election resulted in a very surprising upset victory in conservative Lincoln County. Naran states on the PPH article on the results, ” The current Governor has nothing to do with the vote results.”
I’m pretty sure she believes what she wrote.
Congrats to Sen. Chris Johnson. It is going to be a massacre in November.
The problem with Naran’s statement is that even Dana Dow doesn’t believe it. Part of his platform (scaffold) was that he’d work for LePage’s re-election. Somehow in Naran’s fantasy world, a low turnout election doesn’t reflect the will of the electorate. As if the results would have been different if there had been a regular election turnout.
I’ll go with Dana Dow’s analysis, thank you, Naran.
“There was no vote”. I’m pretty sure that shows up no less than a million times there. Someone drank their cranky juice before posting a go-go today.
She’s losing her mind.
“The people attacking and threatening me on the PPH pages were Ron Paul supporters. At least that’s what they claim.
I believe the threats being made against Charlie, his family, and other R party members in Washington County are likely coming from the same sources.
If the Paul supporters want their candidate to have the best chance, they should rein in the attack dogs.”
Good God. That’s all I gotta say.
Attacks are coming from all directions this afternoon. St. Naran of Arc and AXel are boldly defending Charlie Webster’s fraudulent vote counting retreat.

Thankfully all’s quiet on the AMG front. The crushing special senate election defeat in Lincoln County has garnered about 4 responses and Ron Paul’s killing of Whitney Houston is dropping fast. While “how much do school bus drivers make?” is on the rise.
Good lord, who does this woman roll with in the “PORT” (From SKF’s “Sticky” post today)
“Everyone I know is either laid off; or working but using savings to make up the difference on price increases; keeping the heat at 50; cutting medications, skipping doctor and dentist appointments, putting off car and home repairs, and eating twice a day to make every penny stretch as far as possible. They’re mostly all living in some degree of fear – whether mild, or serious – about the future and their financial situation”
Based on this annalysis, I’m picturing some kind of 3rd world country down there
Wow, that’s really awful! Imagine what it must be like in the poor areas of the state! We must do something! Must be the Democrats fault. Off worth their heads!

See, Naran is right, things are so bad we’re trying to drown ourselves down here..
On a (kinda) serious note, I live in Naran country. I’m not quite sure who this “everyone” is that she is talking about. Since making sweeping statements is apparently o.k. in her view, I will make mine which is; The biggest suffering that the majority of people in this town are experiencing is having to pay a couple extra bucks for their beach parking permit. Now that’s suffering! Are there some people suffering from the economy here, sure…but “Everyone?” Well I suppose it could be possible that everyone she knows is suffering since there are probably only about two people in the area who would even own up to actually knowing her.
Oh and its also the fault of all us socialist liberals who foolishly support paying a little more for silly, petty entitlements like a budget that supports a strong school system. I mean, really people, if my taxes go up a couple of more cents just for this silly education support I might not be able to upgrade my mooring position at the Kennebunk Yacht club.
This little gem from Gaffer in the Charlie Webster facts thread “Having been chastized by Naran and having met her on several occasions and watched her attituides and actions all these many years I will vouch for her integrity and honesty. She is a pillar of what we all should be and if more were like her this state and nation would not be in the trouble we are now in. Anyone who picks on her is in my book is not worthy of being apart of the AMG family.”
She is a pillar and if more were like her, we wouldn’t in all this trouble. OH…..MY…..GOD………gag me with a wooden spoon. All this butt kissing might get you a nice little apple crisp from Auntie Mabel there Gaffer :)
