WE ARE BACK! Vermont Hum, consistently ranked as one of the top ten influential Vermont pol blogs in 2008 and 2009, has risen from the e-dead. Let us get started.

Hum from the streets of Essex Junction.
IGNORANCE IS BLISS - Where is Dubie CM Corey Bliss now? Has he gone back to Maryland or Virginia or Utah or wherever it is he came from? Whether he ruins a campaign or not, he still gets paid, right?
HOW TO RUIN A REPUTATION AND LOSE A RACE FOR GOVERNOR
Folks in Essex still shaking their collective heads over the puzzling and extraordinarily misguided strategy which morphed aw shucks good guy Brian Dubie into Mister Negative, sinking a good chance at retaining the governorship for Repubs.

GOVERNOR TARRANT IN 2012?
Someone on the street mentioned it yeasterday, but where did they hear it from?

WYOMING AND WEST VIRGINIA TOPS IN CHEW
Those two states use more chaw than any other. Wait a minute! Where's Mississippi on that list? Did they go down? How accurate are these figures? Yahoo news breaking story.

FIVE CORNERS UPDATE

Got really bored at the Essex Junction Five Corners Light this morning so I left my car and started talking to other idlers. We came up with a great idea!

Why not Five Corners voting?

With people stuck at the intersection for hours with little to do, why not take a cue from Williston and have voting done right from the window. Maybe Essex officials could spice it up and deliver ballots on roller skates, just like the old A&W carhops. And after we vote, we get a free root beer. Yeah!
