PORTLAND, Maine -- Everyone who has been hospitalized or has undergone an outpatient procedure knows -- and probably loathes -- the skimpy, ill-fitting, one-size-fits-none hospital gown.

Maine Medical Center finally decided to do something about it upon discovering that Muslim women accustomed to being fully covered were skipping appointments to avoid the immodest garments.

I meant that the hospital will cave. The muslims demands will be met, all they have to do is cry. They want one religion in the entire world (islam.) Thank your for the info on Maine. Liberals never take a stand on anything. Bush/Cheney 2004

Maine's a GREAT place to live if you're not hard-working, God worshipping(the One True God), freedom loving American.

Man, that frosts my butt.

Apparently frosted HER butt. But then being from Somalia, having a frosted butt is a new experience for these patients. Next thing you know, they will want a dome built over the whole state to recreate the torrid climate of the old homeland across the sea.

By the way, the last time Somalia enjoyed anything like peace, stability, or anything remotely resembling prosperity, was when the Italians ran it. Perhaps when the Somali population reaches majority status in Maine, which due to its polygamous breeding patterns, could be any month now, we ought to let the Italians run Maine?

Couldn't be worse and the food might improve.

How these people (male and female both!) follow all of the laws is beyond me. And I guess one little slip and you're out of paradise for good.

Thanks for the link, Maria. I did book mark it for future read, but right now, it's just too depressing. I will read it soon, I promise!

Gosh! Funny how "I" made it and have lived up here since 1983 since I AM hard working, God Worshipping and a Freedom Loving American.

They might "cry" but they need an interpreter in order to be understood. I just wish these immigrants would start learning English. Do they think that this land will soon be theirs so there is no NEED to learn ENGLISH??? Really really upsets me that they can't even learn our language. This alone, tells me that they don't think they HAVE to! huh!~

Maine is indeed a wonderful place to live! I had the privilege of meeting my son at the airport in Portland two years ago and we spent the afternoon and evening in Portland, proper. Had a great dinner. I had a wonderful time. I'd driven up to Bowdoinham once or twice in past years, taking a friend home, but never stopped long. My time in Portland was special. Maine is a national treasure, no doubt about it.

"I'll look forward to an AP article that refers in the same manner to the Bible as the holy book."

They can't do that. It terrifies their demon-masters too much.

They have an expensive interpreter that goes with them. Funded by Maine of course.

Oh I know what you meant! That's why I love northern Maine. The only immigrants we see up here is during harvest. And they are Mexicans. They do their jobs for the farmers then head back home.

which due to its polygamous breeding patterns

How can they call themselves modest when they share sexual partners and belong to harems? Polygamy is far from modest.
