George W. Bush opened his Presidential Library yesterday and the timing could not have been better. Fresh on the heels of the first successful “terror” attack since 9-11, we were presented with what is likely the most expensive, lavish and Orwellian edifice to presidential revisionism this country has ever seen. This is just the beginning [...]

By Hook or By Crook… President Romney
They don’t care how they do it. After their stinging defeat … despite the best efforts of Karl Rove, et al to steal the election via fraud in voting machines and voter suppression … they look for new ways to cheat. They are unapologetically corrupt, bankrupt and desperate. We have dodged a bullet… but they [...]

Susan Rice Will Not Be Secretary of State
The GOP is determined to keep Rice from becoming U.S. Sec of State. Yesterday, Maine Senator, Susan Collins spoke about Rice’s role in a violent incident against a U.S. embassy that happened 14 years ago in Africa. Rice was Undersecretary of State for Africa during this time under Pres. Clinton. This is ancient history, of [...]

Kelly Ayotte has promised to put a hold on the nomination of Susan Rice as Sec of State. I think we should flood her office with calls requesting that she allow the President — who won the election — to have whomever he wishes for Sec of State and remind her that Rice was unanimously [...]
“Nowhere Man” Exits Stage Right
President Obama, in his speech following his glorious defeat of Romney, said he would call on Romney to work with him on problems facing our country. When he said it, it jarred me. Does Obama really think Romney is invested in the problems facing our country? It seems preposterous! This man has never shown any [...]

One of the memes of post-debate analysis has been that President Obama doesn’t really want to win this election. That he is tired being President. That his heart isn’t in it any more. I have no inkling as to the accuracy of this speculation, but I have been thinking about it and am wondering if [...]

During his acceptance speech at the DNC convention just days ago, Obama quoted Lincoln, “I have been driven many times upon my knees by the overwhelming conviction that I had nowhere else to go ” (The rest of the quote: “…My own wisdom, and that of all about me, seemed insufficient for the day.”) This [...]

RIchard Whitney, chair of the Stoddard Democrats, wrote a letter to the editor in which he complains that Maggie Hassan was a no-show for a long-standing candidates’ forum for Cheshire County voters. “A date was chosen that was agreeable for everyone and 48 hours before the event all four special guests confirmed they would be [...]
Romney/Ryan… Such Good Christians…

Catholic Bishops may be in a quandary this election, having to decide between supporting Obama who angered them in his decision to provide birth control coverage to women who work in religion-sponsored organizations and Romnay/Ryan whose budget priorities favor reducing aid to the poor. The Franciscan Action Network (FAN), a Catholic faith-based advocacy and civic [...]
