Speaking of Pindell…

when I referenced him here…it reminded me of WMUR (d’oh!) and this (yeah, a day late on my part)….WMUR Poll.  Summary: Repubs may take back the NH House (most likely) & Senate (nailbiter?). Likely voters are liking Repubs than Dems (47% vs 39%) and Rs are gaining more traction. Next part gave me the wonders …

The Lobby….

Well, the collaboration between the Nashua Telegraph and New Hamphsire Business Report has just gone live: At the time, I wondered if James Pindell’s site, at $400 / year, would be viable long term; at least he gave it 6 months FREE to build traffic.  This site? It’s going paid in 2 weeks.  Yup – …

Email Doodlings – “…We have confused ‘society’ and ‘government…”

Was written in an email group that I am in.  Frankly, he was absolutely wrong: Not quite – Progressives have DELIBERATELY conflated the two so as to make it easier for the latter to control the former.  Jim Splaine is famous for saying "WE are the government" while the Founders rightly saw that government should …

Jilted RINO Seeks Revenge

Longtime RINO and progressive sympathizer Cynthia Dokmo lost her primary.  She didn’t take it well.  Now she is pulling a Murkowski–sort of–waging a write in campaign to undo the injustice thrust upon her by primary voters. Certainly it must have been a mistake.  In all of her district there has to be one or two …
