Mr. Paul Hodes offered up his wisdom (and cover) on his vote in favor of the democrat health care plan(s) in the Sunday Union Leader. It contained all the usual lies. A list of greater goods all at no additional cost. No fiscal cost. No cost to access. No cost to service. [...]
Senator Gregg got a letter from some “religious leaders” whose purpose was clearly to connote a state wide overreaching feeling from people of religion; that there is a majority interest in current so-called health care reform and debate as contained in the Senate Bill currently in play. But a cursory view of the [...]
While in Asia two things regarding Mr. Obama that I never saw reported in the press. His "unprecedented" town hall meeting in China was attended by "carefully vetted" young people and no questions were permitted. This makes the meeting itself (Clinton and Bush both held one) not only not unprecedented, [...]
Every female New Hampshire legislator has been invited to an event on the morning of December 1stat the Common Man in Concord at 8:45 am. The event is focused on introducing them to “Sisters on the Planet,” a project of Oxfam International, and Oxfam America. Curious minds might ask, who are [...]
I’ve been laying off Fred Morse for the better part of year mostly because he makes it too easy. Fred is Merrimack’s token socialist wordsmith. Fred writes letters to the editor (of every paper on God’s still-barely--green earth--evil oil, EVIL!) as often as the editors will let him. While I [...]
Hints of a 'War Tax' and comical rumors of attention deficit disorder, (that's where people hear Obama say they are going to focus on deficit reduction but no one pays any attention) tell us exactly what the plan is for Afghanistan. Cutting troop levels to save American lives (lives lost [...]
Mo Baxley made a sound bite stab last week at connecting every Republican in the state and chastising anyone who didn't stand up to her expectations of them. I wonder if she feels the same way about liberal progressives?
Take the SEIU for example. They are all about Obama's vision for America because it's [...]
The New Hampshire Women’s lobby wants’ your government to mandate sick pay. State rep John Knowles of Hudson agrees, according to this morning’s UL, claiming that “sometimes government does things for the benefit of all people…” Nikki Murphy from the New Hampshire Women’s lobby says studies show that employers save [...]
India's environment minister, Jairam Ramesh, recently released a report purporting western bias on glacial melt--his report claims there is no conclusive evidence to support claims of massive met and an impending loss of Himalayan glaciers.
As a reward for this, the head of the IPCC, Rajendra Pachauri called his report "schoolboy'" [...]
The Fox news flap is lingering in my memory. I''m trying to reconcile how the White House, which continues to insist it is interested in ideas and opinions "from all sides" can justify calling a news channel an extension of the Republican party--as if this is a bad thing--and still [...]
At the end of July 2009 PSNH instituted a rate increase of roughly 10.3%. It was the first major increase since the beginning of the year and reflects (according to PSNH) 2008 Ice storm recovery costs and other costs of doing business. What is more important is that PSNH has [...]
Paul ‘the reaper' Hodes said he will fight, that’s right fight to remove a provision from the House Health Care reform plan that bans the use of federal funds to cover abortions. (Did anyone tell him the Senate already gave Kathleen Sebelius that power?) We could weigh in on all' [...]
Friday’s Union Leader includes an ‘In Brief’ piece from the AP on a movement within the UN to push for a global Blasphemy treaty. The primary purveyors of the initiative are the 56 member Organization of the Islamic Conference. AP suggests that such a treaty will meet with resistance from [...]
Some “lifestyle” choices are superior to others and your government is more than willing to tell you which ones it plans to advance by writ of law. Case in point, congressman James Oberstar D-MN, has offered up the Surface Transportation Authorization act (STAA). STAA is a wet spot on the [...]
RGGI carbon allotments have been trending steadily downward in the first twelve months of New Hampshire's participation in RGGI, from a high of 3.51 per ton, down to 2.19 per ton. To date some $15,250,316.16 has been spent on allotments (or credits) for New Hampshire. The next auction is on [...]
Rep Shea-Porter.
It occurs to me that as both a constituent and a political activist opposed to your agenda I have yet to receive an apology from you for having been called a ‘tea bagger.’ Since you do not seem inclined to apologize on your own despite the obvious free time [...]
You try to say what you mean. You use whatever words or technique suits the subject matter or the audience, or the thrust of the editorial. Sometimes you wander off the reservation. But you must always be prepared to stand behind it, defend it, or correct it if it [...]
Aristotle International Inc, a political campaign technology company, reports that almost 19,000 of the voters registered in the Granite state are, in fact, dead.
In New Hampshire, there are 18,816 dead people on the voter registration rolls, or 2.5 percent of the total registered voters. There are 105,472 voters that [...]
Saturday's UL observed that a local paper, the Claremont Villager, is shutting its doors due to declining ad revenue. The money quote? "The re-entry of the (Claremont) Daily Eagle was decisively bad for the Villager.
Nothing government does goes unpunished. It's hard to compete for advertising when the state chooses sides.
So maybe" [...]
The Democrat House leadership could learn a lesson from Colby-Sawyer College. According to the New Hampshire Sunday News. Police detained more than 100 students at another Poznanski recruitment seminar in New London, where 150 progressives like Rep Brian Poznanski (D-Budweiser), conscientous objectors to the states age of majority on all [...]
I hinted at this Thursday Morning; Hooksett has got issues with its Police Chief. Well this morning there's more news. [link] The chief is costing the town a fortune in Legal fees. Under his stewardship the town has gone through 35 police officers. He has personally been the object [...]
Hot air reports that the NY-23 election was never certified. Hoffman actually won a county called earlier for Owens. At his point Hoffman is only 3000 votes behind Owens with 10,200 absentee ballots still to be counted. A majority of those ballots will come from military personnel.
Fans of the [...]
On page A7 of today's Union Leader, and I have to guess in other papers around the state, AARP took out a full paid ad thanking Carol Shea-Porter and Paul Hodes for their votes on the health care bill. Its 2000 pages of trouble, but the onlt thing that matters here [...]
Looks like the democrat caucus had another recruiting seminargoing on in Merrimack while General Court member Brain Poznanaski was breaking the law in front of at least 23other law breakers in Bedford. Corey Frugal was fatally stabbed at a house party on Bedford road in Merrimack where police arrested approximately 21 more underage drinkers. [...]
Unfinished blog posts abound but I can give you a few hints at what's coming. Hooksett has issues. They have a police chief who is hard to get along with. He’s been at the center of a handful of controversies, and officers keep leaving. If that’s not bad enough home break-ins are [...]
Paul Hodes and Carol Shea-Porter we're cheering Saturday after the Pelosi-Care bill passed, but before they voted in favor of that abomination, they tossed seniors under the bus in exchange for future favors (and no doubt campaign contributions) from trial lawyers.
Prior to the final vote the minority party offered up the traditional motion to recommit' [...]
Why is the State of New Hampshire providing taxpayer backed loan guarantees to a Newspaper in Claremont? And what does it mean for the reporters and editors beholden to New Hampshire politicians for their jobs? They were out of work until the state came around and the Executive Council [...]
Never actually connected to the people millionaire Jeanne Shaheen got elected to the US Senate to some degree on the coat tails of the change rhetoric that ushered in Mr. Obama. But much like BHO we are discovering that the sales pitch was nothing but a sales pitch. It was [...]
Net Neutrality nut Susan Crawford, Sugar Coated Breakfast Cereal Czar (Zero to 130 calories per serving without milk)—My mistake, Crawford was the Internet Czar—was shown the door last Monday (resigned) according to BigGovernment.com. Crawford promoted what amounts to a nationalization of the internet for the good of all creatures great [...]
Today, Ranking Member of the House Ways and Means Committee Dave Camp (R-MI) released a letter from the non-partisan Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) confirming that the' [...]
The most dramatic shift in employment picture has to be in the number of people not looking for work. This figure has skewed the real unemployment picture all year but in October only about 31,000 more stopped looking, according to BLS data. The result is that the bulk of job [...]
Murtha at his finest. I invite anyone who would like to the opportunity to defend Mr. Murtha. I look forward to your responses.

The only way to guarantee equality is to eliminate the risk of prosperity.

The grow government first party needs to convince you that “No” is bad for you. But like everything else the liberals say the truth is exactly the opposite. “No” is the only word that can prevent the government [...]
Senator John Cornyn, Chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee has made a public statement. The NRSC will not be giving money to Charlie Crist in the Republican Primary with Marco Rubio.
Mission Accomplished.
Now if we can just get the NRCC to play along. No word yet on whether they get it. The citizens [...]
The Nashua Telegraph has a nice article (Nov 3) in which Brian Poznanski responds to some of my objections to his continued service as a House Rep from a blog I wrote and posted Sunday Morning. Nice of the Telegraph to offer him a place to hide without any [...]
There is some unusual colloquial slang for achieving a score of 111 in bowling. I don't know if it's still around, or around here, but when you hit 111, you were "In the Sh*t House." Well Carol's managed to find herself supporting Nancy Pelosi on a bill that creates 111 new government agencies, boards,' [...]
People in NY 23 are fed up with all the special interest groups. I can’t say I blame them, but I guess they should have held a primary instead of letting the local GOP anoint their candidate. Last time I checked people in New Hampshire (in both parties) were not [...]
Apparently there is no New Hampshire House Rule for dealing with a State Rep who is drinking at a party with at least 21 other underage drinkers. According to a news report in the Union Leader Nashua Rep Brian Poznanski was arrested at a House party in Bedford along with [...]
