I went to Antrim’s Selectman Meeting last night, November 23. Antrim is the town of 2,600 making news for finally admitting it has a huge deficit going back at least to 2006. Between the deficit and money owed for 2009 the total is almost the same as an entire year’s [...]
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 [...]

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 [...]

Freshman Dem: Passing health care reform worth losing my seat
Washington (CNN) – A freshman Democratic senator said Sunday that he will support his party’s efforts to pass health care reform legislation even if that means losing his seat in next year’s midterm [...]
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 [...]
One of the things I’m continually trying to improve on is my cooking. I’ve had some successes with casseroles and quiches. My attempt at a pot roast was like my attempt to run for State Representative three years ago against then incumbent Rep. Martha McLeod from Franconia.
Excuse my french, I [...]
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 [...]

What does it take to make Islam bashers mend their ways? Why don’t these folks come to their senses and see Islam as a religion of peace and praise the God of Abraham for continuing his beneficence on humanity by sending Muhammad to guide and humanize [...]
What does it say about the mainstream media and their liberal attack dogs when they can’t even scare away a couple of what once would be called “15 minutes of fame” characters?
Carrie Prejean has had the entire tar bucket tossed at her and you have to say she is still [...]
Continuing on from this at the NH level with HodesCare, we have a trained economist trying to eat her words (pre-being an Obama apologist):
According to Phil Klein of the American Spectator, Christina Romer, head of President Obama’s Council of Economic Advisers, had this to say today about the Senate’s [...]
Why is Jennifer Horn running for Congress?
Why.
I’ve asked this question and I’m asking it again.
An example of my frustration is the guest editorial that appears on this very board. All the issues facing New Hampshire and the Second Congressional District and Ms. Horn writes an article about being a Republican.
Where [...]
When transportation secretary Ray LaHood was in New Hampshire he didn’t say anything specific about economic development and jobs sans his broad statement to the media that the administration had created or will create 3.5 million jobs. This statement was closely followed by New Hampshire officials selling the advantages of [...]
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 [...]
Listening to the radio yesterday, I heard a statistic noting that, of the world’s one billion Muslims, an estimated two hundred million of them subscribe to the radical Islamic strain. That’s no small number whether looked at in total, or as a percentage. The reason it’s [...]
There is a new star in the GOP firmament and she is principled, savvy, articulate and beautiful. No, I don’t mean Sarah, though the former Alaska Governor has already demonstrated the ability of a conservative woman to connect with the voters.
The rising star is Michele Bachmann, [...]

NEW HAMPSHIRE’S OWN GOVERNMENT BAILOUTState agrees to guarantee loan up to $187,500 for failing daily newspaper
PORTSMOUTH, N.H.—The Executive Council recently approved a working capital loan guarantee, which would secure 75 percent of a [...]
Er, that would "be needed"! From Radioactive Liberty:
Below are ten new slogans for the Republicans, I’d like to see.
In a post below titled Defend This the author Steve MacDonald has an issue with Rep. Murtha’s handing of legislative procedure. It’s a fair argument but if the facts ever pan out I think this will cast a different light on this whole matter and thus showing that the political and legislative [...]
State Representative Dan Itse was the sponsor of HCR6, a resolution affirming States’ rights based on Jeffersonian principles. While ultimately not passed, his proposal gained attention well beyond the Granite State's borders, with other states joining in. Rep. Itse even appeared on the Glenn Beck Show to' [...]
In NH politics I think it’s easy to become cynical and negative. Regardless of what the issues are or what the campaigns say or don’t say, anyone that has spent time in the Statehouse knows what I mean.
A day at the Statehouse:
Lobbyists, agendas, ideas, legislation and more lobbyists. Deal making [...]
After Tuesday’s elections gave us Virginia Gov.-elect Bob McDonnell, a conservative Republican, and New Jersey Gov.-elect Chris Christie, a moderate Republican, by 18 percent and 5 percent margins respectfully, it should be clear to Congress as a whole that the far-left course it has set for the nation’s agenda is [...]
