Why I’m Still Backing Maggie

MY LTE to the Keene Sentinel. More after: In personal life, I have come to know, sometimes become good friends with, families who have a special needs or developmentally disabled child.

This is not a spoof

This laughable video features two actual NH State House candidates.  This is not a spoof. It's funny, but not in the way the performers intended.  Susan DeLemus is an incumbent Republican running in Strafford District 11 against Democratic incumbent Anne Grassie.  She is an up and coming Tea Partier.  Jane Cormier is challenging moderate Republican [...]

Frank Szabo, Republican Sheriff Candidate & Sovereign Citizen

In all fairness, I should start by pointing out that Frank Szabo is not running unopposed for the office of Hillsborough County Sherriff.  Longtime incumbent James Hardy is opposing Szabo in the Republican Primary, and Democrat Bill Barry will be opposing Szabo or Hardy in the General Election.

An NBC News/Marist poll released late Friday showed that for the first time, 53 percent of likely Republican primary voters said they are not supporters of the tea party, while 40 percent said they are supporters and seven percent [...]

A Surprising Speech… But Is Anyone Listening?

I listened to the President’s speech yesterday. It was brilliant: some pretty strong rhetoric about income inequality and taking the GOP to task for their ‘un-American’ positions on taxation, etc. But better than his usual soaring rhetoric, he put this class struggle into an historical context. He drew the parallel with Teddy Roosevelt’s speech in [...]
