A Senate Without the Queen of Spades
Who will be raised up by the enemy camp to take Donna Soucy’s place?
A Troubling Observation at the Polls
I have not meticulously journaled such things, but I have a reliable memory most of the time. I used to be one of those “get there around 5:30 am and wait in the car with the heat on until other voters start showing up” people. In the pre-covid word, I usually got out of my … Read more
I Can See Russia From My Front Porch
Let’s talk some more about Mrs. Jake Sullivan, more commonly known to low-information voters as Maggie Goodlander. After Annie Kuster announced her retirement and endorsed Colin Van Ostern to take her place, Goodlander announced her candidacy as “Maggie Tamposi Goodlander” to throw around that Nashua household name. Dear readers, out of respect for the cherished … Read more
The Damn Emperor Turns 50
Did you know there was a midterm election on Tuesday, November 5, 1974? Now, everyone reading this does. As a kindergartener, I didn’t even know what a governor was, but bad things happened on both sides of the state line that day. One bad governor was born, and another was elected. It was a few … Read more
Why is WMUR Ignoring Scott Wallace?
I ran into Adam Sexton not long after House HHS Vice Chair Erica Layon’s DUI arrest and gave him crap. I said something like “shame on you, Adam Sexton, you’ve stooped to the level of trashy tabloids,” to which he pointed out that he/his employer covers ALL arrests of legislators. He went on to mention … Read more
Cornerstone and 91A
Cornerstone has released their list of rep candidate endorsements, which include some non incumbents and some former reps. On their endorsement list are 44 enemies of 91A and here they are: I would like all Cornerstoners, meaning both members and supporters alike, to think about something for a moment. While some of you might have … Read more
Nix the Jersey Barriers, an Action Item
Nashua is less than 2 months away from the 100th anniversary of the fire that destroyed the previous Main Street bridge. If you’re a paid member, you can read the Telegraph article about the impact that its absence had on transit. I won’t get into the weeds of comparing 100 years ago to today, but … Read more
An Update on Rep Scott Wallace
Remember House Judiciary Vice Chair Scott Wallace? In case you need a refresher, he’s Senator Gannon’s House counterpart and constituent and fellow enemy of 91A. Now he has a new and personal reason to despise 91A because of pending charges against him that were filed after his primary loss and set to move forward in … Read more
Shame On Arielle Mitropoulos
Mr. Rabideau, my middle school photography teacher, often preached “halves and doubles” in lecturing about tweaking the F-stop and shutter speed. The institution of substitution was what his lesson was about. Take a different example from the grocery store junk food aisle. When some Sunshine or Nabisco product introduces a new version labeled as “reduced … Read more
Shame On Marissa Tansino
WMUR is, once again, doing what they do as the propaganda machine. I already shamed Adam Sexton last month for playing Chris Wallace for Vikram, and now is a good moment to remind the readers that he is “on notice” as the Lily Tang Williams vs. Maggie Goodlander debate awaits us on October 31. However, … Read more
Some Thoughts On The Anniversary of The Executive Council Arrests
Today, 10/13/24, marks the 3rd anniversary of the infamous Executive Council arrests. Most, if not all, readers must be familiar with that event, but it never ceases to amaze me that I still run into people who didn’t know about it. There was plenty of coverage, the wrong kind, to be found then and now, … Read more
Cross Referencing Naughty Lists
The legislative season officially ended yesterday with Veto Day. While the Damn Emperor most unfortunately signed HB 1002 (aka the RTK Tax) on June 14, I’m here to take a look at which of the 88 bad actors displaying the R also stayed rogue for HB 1093 (school mask policy) and HB 396 (women’s safe … Read more
Scylla and Charybdis
You’re looking at the menu, and there are just two choices. It’s beef and chicken, but you’re a vegetarian. You don’t want to starve, but what do you do? We’ve recently heard from two intelligent and very respectable people, Doris and Jose. Many of us are or were already familiar with the merits of their … Read more
Fickle Formella, What Will Our Next Governor and Executive Council Do?
Today is a good day to revisit my previous article about Formella because the dropping of charges against the Elbit vandals had to have been approved by him, either actively or passively. Either way, it’s happening on his watch as the ship’s captain. NH Journal posted, “Formella’s office did not respond to a request for … Read more
Just Voting Isn’t Enough
Back in the days of “Alderman Jan,” when I was still on FB and Nashua had zero representation in any legislative body, Beth Scaer authored a survey in one of the local groups, either Nashua Politics or Nashua Scoop. It was a multiple-choice question, and it asked something like this: So you don’t like your … Read more
The Good Sports and the Sore Loser
The primary results are in, the Unity Breakfast came and went, and it’s onward to November. The OTHER district “made nice” and one of the people that I hoped would win that race, Hollie, made this tweet with a group picture of all the viable candidates. One of her fellow losing candidates, whom I would … Read more
Will Lily Get 50% of the GOP Money?
Let’s talk about GOP money for federal office campaigns. 2024 is not a senatorial year, so that simplifies the discussion. There are two seats in the House, each representing 50% of Granite Staters. One would think that the pie is divided evenly, and the two pieces would go to Lily Tang Williams and Councilor Russell Prescott, … Read more
Vikram Paid For This, Will He Take It Back?
In my recent article shaming Adam Sexton, his last question of the 3 viable candidates in the WMUR debate was, “How do you lower the political temperature in this country?” Vikram got to answer last, and he said, “Look, I think we just need to unify…” (followed by name-dropping attacks on both his opponents). He … Read more
Victory Party Report from Chez LTW (Lily Tang Williams)
Let’s first get a housekeeping item out of the way. Any opinion said, is mine and just that, because I am not a spokesperson for Lily Tang Williams, just an ordinary volunteer. I don’t remember who said it, but last winter, someone called the anti Trumpers a bunch of people having the adult version of … Read more
