Nice touch, Mike

Laconia Daily Sun

Before the SOTU speech by President Obama, I went to the weekly meeting of my hamlet’s Selectmens meeting (yeah, haven’t been for a while – I need to be there more often).

Before the meeting, Mike Kitch, reporter of said newspaper covering , asked me how Doug was doing (I thought, guardedly, in a nice fashion).  My answer was that he was busy with his work, and busy with his family.

"And counting his rosary beads too?" he asked.  I just looked at him, hard after detecting the snark mode full on.  "He did say he was going to do that too" was the response.  My simple response was "that is his business, not mine".

Keeping it, classy – Journalism 101.

And they wonder why the newspaper business is in the toilet and circling drain….

Co-founder of GraniteGrok, my concern is around Individual Liberty and Freedom (and how Government is taking that away from us). My fight, from a Conservative (with small "L" libertarian leanings) and evangelical Christian perspective, is with the Progressives that are forcing a collectivized and secular humanistic future upon us. As TEA Party activist, citizen journalist (and pundit!), my goal is to use the New Media to advance the radical notions of America's Founders back into our culture again.

    Remember, reporters have NO friends, only sources. And sadly, the Laconia Daily Sun is run by the most biased, hypocritical bunch of shallow thinkers ever collected outside of the hallowed halls of the Boston Globe. “Seeking the truth and printing it?” Bah… If that were the case, the publisher would have reported the TRUTH about the Mark Miller death, which he himself verified to me that he understood. But NO, the Daily Sun makes it their business to defend and protect the government and its attendant bureaucracy and so runs cover for them. The county gets away with anything they want– helped extra by the fact that the paper puts its dopiest reporter O’Rourke on the case. What fraud? What mismanagement? What waste? What, me worry?
    Seeking the truth, and BURYING it…
    Oh, and they really could use a spellcheck editor– there isn’t a paper on the planet that has more misspellings in its headlines. And when they f*ck up the obits– well, I’m sure the grieving just LOVE that…
