April 5, 2013

AFP-NH Director Greg Moore fills the “Another View” slot in today’s Union leader with the question, “If you were running a business, how much would you pay your employees not to show up for work?” He then proceeds to ask, how, in this economic environment, the same University system that cannot control costs, that begs for more and more taxpayer bailouts, [ Read more ]

NH Listens? No They Don’t. They Tell!

February 17, 2013

NH Listens is running around the state training “facilitators” to advance a decidedly left wing agenda.  And why not?  The ‘interim’ directer of the Carsey Institute at the University of New Hampshire–which runs NH Listens–is not only a well connected left winger, he doesn’t even live in the granite State. He lives in Maine. And have you seen [ Read more ]

But can you get a Bachelor’s in both kinds of stupid?

February 11, 2013

              Following in the footsteps of Steve’s great post, I thought I ought to mention (if you hadn’t already heard) there is a student- advocacy organization at UNH called the Student Environmental Action Coalition pressing the university to divest itself from ‘oil and other fossil fuel’ companies.   Mimicking other non-reality-based [ Read more ]

Because They Voted Where It Matters

November 11, 2012

Boston.com has an article today observing that pro-obama turnout in New Hampshire’s college towns is less than it was in 2008.  There is very intentional mention of concerns (from folks like myself I assume) about out of state students being used to tip the election; but how no one could ever know how they’d vote, [ Read more ]

You Want The Truth? You Can’t Handle The Truth!

November 9, 2012

Comments are often a great source of amusement, and often suitable for follow up material.  In this instance, in response to my post about Legally stealing elections with out of state voters who just happen to be in New Hampshire, an anonymous commenter using the handle “Speak the Truth” suggested that we just let it [ Read more ]

Rassmussen “Hey, UNH – Obama +8? We Don’t Think So…”

October 24, 2012

The big joke of the week has been a UNH poll that showed Obama up by 8 points in New Hampshire.   The UNH poll is a huge joke, and just for good measure, one of the most accurate and reliable polls around just came in with a different set of numbers. Rasmussen is reporting today [ Read more ]

Is UNH Using Their Letterhead To Play Politics?

September 15, 2012

A recent letter from UNH President Mark W. Huddleston, emailed to  persons associated with UNH, appears to be asking recipients to pressure (maybe engage and encourage is a better term) the New Hampshire legislature into restoring budget cuts made last session to the University system. I have no issue with “Huddleston the activist” doing that [ Read more ]

When Can We Cut the Other 50%?

August 16, 2012

There is a lovely new candidate survey being mailed out to New Hampshire candidates from the Concord Monitor.  While most of the questions are loaded to demarcate the right left divide in state politics–have to make sure we know who the “TEA Party Extremists” are–one question in particular stood out. “Do you support last year’s [ Read more ]

July 31, 2012

The town of Durham has reported that the costs of the Obama visit–which the Obama campaign refused to pay for–cost the town $19,851.00.  But it will only cost the anonymous donor around $13,000.00 because… c/o Gretyl MacAlaster -July 31st Union Leader “…town public safety officials were able to reduce local costs through careful distribution of [ Read more ]

UNH – More Hypocrisy & Politicking…with your tax dollars.

March 13, 2012

The problem with UNH is…it’s filled with progressives, and they love to waste your money.  (Just look at the NH House from 2007-2010.) If UNH isn’t shoveling  federal dollars on cow fart research  to Obama supporter and NH Democrat Party check writer Gary Herschberg, then it is busy paying professors like Ed “Flash” Larkin to [ Read more ]

Is It Time To End The Injustice of Out Of State Tuition in NH?

January 26, 2012

New Hampshire’s white tower liberals and their advocates in state government have been adamant about their policy on College students voting in the Granite State.  While we have called this voter fraud, the Democrats insist that if you go to school here, then you should be able to vote here. But are these “New Hampshire [ Read more ]

Hmmm, seems like NH Voter fraud has been around for quite some time…blast from the 2001 past

January 15, 2012

So, you think this is a new thing just because Project Veritas decided to release a video?  One of the main complaints from Conservatives here in NH is that out-of-state students at our in-state Universities vote improperly.  Even as the major news outlets now have “crying in their cups” politicians going “Oh, mea culpa – [ Read more ]

Town of Durham Seeks to Inspect Rentals

December 7, 2011

“College is a refuge from hasty judgment.” —Robert Frost Owning rental property is a daunting endeavor. With ownership comes financial challenges, legal exposure, and responsibilities not traditionally endured with single family home ownership. Add to that facet renting to college students and the task becomes a head-snapping endeavor. Years ago, I found myself dealing with [ Read more ]

UNH may have to Layoff More Staff

September 29, 2011

Instead of looking for the opportunity to do more with less they blame the legislature for asking them to do what every small business-every family in the state–has already done for years. Cut back, and find new ways to get the job done.

The Cost of Defining “Adequate” In Merrimack NH

March 1, 2011

I announced that if you took the total Merrimack School budget and divided it by the total student enrollment that it cost more than the sending your kid to UNH. This appears to have riled some people up. In fact someone sent me an nice itemized list of the “costs” of sending your kid to UNH for a year just to prove I was wrong, and to justify how Merrimack’s cost per child wasn’t as much.

What Would We Do Without Studies Like These?

December 28, 2010

Someone has discovered that oral sex is a gateway drug to intercourse among teenagers. A three year study determined that teens who have oral sex are more likley to have intercourse than teens who do not. And if you ask the Baptists they will tell you that intercourse leads to dancing, or was that the other way around?

Progressive Flatulence

December 21, 2010

So maybe the 700,000 taxpayer dollars given to UNH to advance the study of “organic farming” was not just a left wing exercise in global warming alarmist advocacy. Maybe, just maybe, it was not meant to study cow farts.

Money Not So Well Spent

October 25, 2010

Dr. Edward Larkin gave a pair of women at the Milford Market Basket More for their Dollar last November when he approached them in the Supermarket parking lot with his “franks and beans” exposed. It turned out to be an unadvertised special, but one that New Hampshire taxpayers continue to pay for. The UNH professor, placed on leave after the incident, is still on the University payroll, collecting $87,375 per year while we wait for the bureaucracy to remember how it is exactly that you fire a State university professor doing nothing on the taxpayer dole.
