Fans of Dr. Demento will already be familiar with the tune and the original, but it’s not a problem if you’ve never heard it. It is a humorous 1963 ‘novelty’ song by Alan Sherman about a kid sent to the fictional Camp Grenada.

Want to Stop Offshore Wind Maine and New Hampshire?
Despite the collapse of the market, rising costs and prices, and the threat to wildlife, the powers that be are moving forward with offshore wind development off the coast of New Hampshire and Maine.
Wake Up and Laugh: “You Know What Happened With Dumb Kids? They Didn’t Make It!”
It seemed like a good time to laugh, and I stumbled across a few minutes from Comedian Brad Upton, who always makes me laugh. I thought of you. You could probably use a laugh, too.
Your Government is Using Campus Protests and “Anti-Semitism” to Suppress Free Speech
It should be a maxim of our Constitutional Republic and inculcated into the collective consciousness that thou shalt not let legislators vote hastily on bills in response to current events. They almost always waste money, infringe on rights, or produce lousy laws, and the Antisemitism Awareness Act is an example of this bad idea. In response to … Read more
As If You Needed Another Reason to Stay The Hell Away From Electric Vehicles
If you search the site for EVs or Electric Vehicles, you’ll find every reason not to buy one, and thankfully, we’re not the only ones pointing it out. EV sales are lousy in the US, which has to be why Democrat states are looking to ban gas-powered cars.
How Maine Gun Laws Help New Hampshire: Kittery Trading Post Threatens to Move All Firearms Sales to Granite State
If you missed it, mostly-rural-Maine has succumbed to the electoral weight of its cities and Left a majority of Democrats running the political store. They assume this means they should advance every nutty progressive thing in case the people come ot their senses. And so they have, no matter what the cost.
Florida Bans Manufacture and Sale of Lab-Grown Meat
No compilation of urban legends would be complete without mentioning cafeteria-style mystery meat. It is shaped like meat, colored (and cooked) like meat, but would it stand up to even casual scrutiny? Stories about schools saving money by cheating out on food were spurious at best. Schools don’t try to save money.
School District Has to ‘Retire’ Their DEIJ Director
It is unusual for the name of a local public school district to have national legs. Loudon County, VIrgina, is one. SAU16 in New Hampshire is another. The Exeter School District has made national news more than once, and perhaps it has again.
NH House Republican Attendance – Is Back!
After two weeks “off” from session days, you’d have thought the slim majority would have returned refreshed and in numbers. Nope. Republicans were in the minority today (or so I am told). Democrats claimed some scalps.
Dem Rep Thinks Girls Losing to Boys (Pretending to be Girls) is Good for Them
Democrats continue to insist that despite the risks (fraud, assault, injury, etc.), if a boy wants to play on the girl’s team (use their locker room, showers), that’s social justice, but New Hampshire has legislation that would protect girls by limiting sports participation to biology at birth, so – naturally – they have to object.
The Newest Version of GraniteGrok Will Go Live SOON – Changes And What to Expect!
The new website is nearing completion, and we could go live this weekend (or early next week). There are a few appearance changes, some layout tweaks, and a more intelligent sorting system. Content will be filtered into Silos to make it easier for readers to get to what they want to read.
Allegedly Pro-Palestine “Protesters,” at UNH, Dartmouth Arrested
Kiddies protesting the latest thing have gotten out of control on at least a few college campuses. We haven’t seen anything like that here, of which I’m aware, but yesterday, May Day, that glorious Communist Holiday, “protesters” gathered to avoid classes in support of Gaza and Palestine. Some went to jail.
Commenter ‘pfrcav717’ Wins Comment of the Week
Congrats to pfrcav717, this week’s comment of the week winner.
It Was a “Fine” Day to Sell Girl Scout Cookies – $400.00 Worth of ‘Fine(s)’
Pinedale, Wyoming, is a cozy piece of nowhere nestled near the Wind River Mountains with a bustling population of just over 2000. It is also the county seat (Sublette), which might be why the holes running it fined a 13-year old 400.00 for selling cookies on the side of the road.
It’s Forest Fire Season Already And I Still Have My Mud Season Decorations Up
It was inevitable. My yard is still damp with March and April showers (and muddy in places), and the Fire department says the Fire Danger is High. Okay. We’ve also got reports of wildfires in Canada (are the arsonists starting early this year?), and me with my mud season decorations still up. What the heck!
Diversity Means, Fewer White People
Dutch Lawyer Eva Vlaardingerbroek has chosen a side, as she’d say. She is speaking out in defense of Western populations and their cultures in an effort to wake people up about the elite’s commitment to erasing them.

Did Outraged Pro-Palestine Protesters at UNH Just Guarantee Speech Protections for Opinions They Hate?
It tickles me to no end when I see students radicalized by woke teachers and professors, getty uppity about the Biden regime. Even in New Hampshire, where we’ve not seen the vitriol and violence from which years of progressive inculcation stems, they came out to shout some slogans and demand things.
Night Cap: Howard Dean Might Be Running for Governor of Vermont Again
Once Upon a Time, Howard Dean was the governor of Vermont. He ran for president a few cycles back (2004) and was doing well until the infamous scream in Iowa. The young folks loved him, but it flattened his curve, and John Kerry went on to win the party nomination. Dean’s not been idle but hasn’t run for elective office since.
