The town where I grew up is about 30 miles from Lexington and Concord; a school friend's house had been built in 1774 by Captain Jonathan Parker, who a year later was one of the Minutemen confronting the British, probably not at the Concord bridge, but sniping at them from [...]
I have been seeing ads for Bacon Salt on the left-hand-side of Facebook periodically for weeks. Generally, Facebook ads seem like obvious scams—featuring secrets on how to lose 20lbs in a week or where to sell broken gold jewelry. Much to my delight, however, the ads for Bacon [...]

Apparently, any time Democrats decide the issue. Jeff Duyck, who's been living in House district 29 for years, has suddenly been informed that he doesn't live in the district after all. Everything was fine until the Republican, seen as a strong contender there, filed to run for office. Elections officials [...]
