NH’s Watchdog, AKA Grant Bosse, the Lead Investigative Reporter for the Josiah Bartlett Center, liveblogged the budget action this week down in Concord. When we wanted to figure out what it all means, we thought, who better than Grant to clue us in? He’ll join us and outline how the budget, as it stands now, affects us as citizens and workers here in the Granite State.

MTNP Radio fave John Hawkins of RightWingNews checks in for some chat.

The NORKS are gonna shoot a missile at Hawaii. Like, OMG! What’s a newb president to do? Cancel missile defense? Will Obama express (gasp!) grave concern? Will he actually order the military to board one of their ships?
- Obama & the American people. The affair fades. Relationship analyst Hawkins will review the stages of a love going bust… You know there’ll always be the media
- Can we let the Sunshine State fail?
- We’ll review the GraniteGrok NH governor poll— those on, and left off the list. We’ll also ponder the US Senate race apparently heating up here in the Granite State.

Ryan Bilodeau appeared on MTNP Radio several years ago to discuss events transpiring at URI. At the time, he was the chair of the College Republicans in that Rhode Island school. Fast forwarding two years to the present, Ryan has just graduated and sets off on a new path in life. In a very moving note delivered via Facebook (and reprinted here on the ‘Grok), Ryan told friends
I’m writing this message today in a medium that provides for the most amplification possible. My motivation also emanates from the joy resulting from the path down which I have begun to walk and the subsequent desire to share it.
Let me begin with a passage from the Bible that explains everything: "I will give you shepherds after my own heart." Words found first in Jeremiah 3:15 and echoed later by John Paul II in his encyclical letter "Pastores Dabo Vobis," they truly represent my pivoting from the political and earthly world in which I resided into the one I enter next: a spiritual one. This Fall I will be entering Our Lady of Providence Catholic Seminary.
We’ll discuss his motivation to pursue a vocation desperately in need of new members. With the local Catholic priests rotating out, and the merging of several parishes, it will be good to get this young man’s take on the future of the Church. Interestingly, down in RI, which iis where Ryan lives, the Churches are still quite full. Is it coincidence that that state is the lone New England hold out with regards to gay marriage?
