“A source present the night of the attack says that the GRS team that was defending the annex asked where the air support was at midnight. Former SEALs Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty were killed 5 hours and 15 minutes later.” —FoxNews.com, Nov. 4, 2012
A TRIBUTE TO THOSE LEFT TO DIE, written by Col. William Bauer, USMC (Whoops: Authorship os this poem is disputed, as explained HERE.)
It is quite obvious from these remarks by New Hampshire Senator Kelly Ayotte that she prefers white meat at Thanksgiving, why else try to put a hold on the nomination of UN Embarrasador Susan Rice as a potential replacement to Hillarity Clinton? Yeah, she has these facts about Rice misleading the American people on Benghazi … Read more
Stacie Laughton has now changed her mind again, and decided that she will accept the House seat won on November 6th, according to an updated article at unionleader.com Earlier this morning we reported that Laughton was planning to step down. Now she is stepping back up. Although it is not final. Laughton is seeking guidance … Read more
…on religious grounds.
S’Preme credit first to Hot Air, whose title I have assumed as my own. And second, how about a do-over?
Liberty University had challenged the law on religious grounds courtesy of the insurance mandate itself, the HHS’ contraceptive mandate, and the retarded left-wing notion that the government can prohibit any and every exercise of religious expression the moment it steps outside the four walls of the place of worship.
SCOTUS overturned a lower courts dismissal of that case –giving it new life
On June 8th 2012, the Nashua Telegraph did a community piece on then candidate for the New Hampshire House Stacie Laughton. It opened like this.
NASHUA – What Stacie Laughton wants people to see is that she is just like everyone else.
This theme was repeated throughout the article, but nowhere in the Nashua Telegraph’s reporting, or in any Telegraph content after it that I could find (until a few days ago), is there any mention of her extensive criminal history. Laughton has previously been charged with felony misuse of 911 services, conspiracy to commit credit card fraud, conspiracy identity fraud, theft of services, misdemeanor criminal mischief, and served a suspended sentence for at least one felony conviction.
Would you be surprised to hear that she was elected to the New Hampshire House in Nashua, New Hampshire anyway?
In case you didn’t know it having a preference for white meat at Thanksgiving makes you a racist. Warner Todd Huston, on Breitbart, has an entertaining piece about the rantings of one Ron Rosenbaum at Slate, who makes the case that white bread, the other white meat (Pork), and even a preference for white Turkey … Read more
Political parties never stop recruiting “qualified” candidates for future races and I think I’ve identified a potential Democrat contender for 2014. Eighteen year-old Tyler Murray of Manchester New Hampshire was recently charged with Fraudulent use of a credit card: Murray is accused of using a credit card belonging to another to purchase $258.58 worth of … Read more

Newsmax reports that New Hampshire’s new governor (gag!) Maggie Hassan is open to the idea of legalizing Marijuana.
Pro-pot advocates in New Hampshire are excited about the possibilities.
Medical marijuana, the gateway-drug -policy to broader decriminalization efforts, is generally considered to be an issue with bi-partisan support. Supporters of legalization at any and every level have also long insisted that the cost to taxpayers of policing pot is excessive. But when the new governor (gag!) says ‘yeah, we’ll seriously consider support for the right bill’ while some folks are getting ready to pass the big fat doobie, I’m asking myself….”If New Hampshire Democrats are really interested does legal pot in any form put us on a path to more government or less?
Here’s a nifty quiz: Which world leader is the following quote referring to? “He could never have imagined anyone so ignorant or so willing to destroy their people like Obama…
…to protect against those Jewish attacks? This guy explains it. (This is turning out to be a big Quiz Day.)
The number of U.S. children hurt while using inflatable bouncers, such as bounce houses and moonwalks, is 15 times higher than in 1995, according to a new study.
That’s the lead from Reuters.
I didn’t look past the dead link at the bottom of the article but I’d love to know who the ‘researchers’ are and who paid them to figure this out because as I understand it the increased use or access to anything by the human animal will result in an increase in injuries.
“Groups should take a look at these data, help us get the word out and make sure parents are making informed decisions,” said Dr. Gary Smith, director of the Center for Injury Research and Policy at Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus, Ohio.The number of kids being brought into emergency rooms (ERs) for the injuries increased from 702 in 1995 to 11,311 children in 2010.
Informed decisions…?
I just got confirmation that the clerk for Franklin New Hampshire requires not just $75.00 for the complete citywide voter checklist used for the election, but another $75.00 for the updated checklist after all the new names have been added. My udder is sore just thinking about it. Is this where I say that having … Read more
Gaius Gracchus proposed his grain law. It delighted the people for it provided an abundance of food free of toil. The good men, by contrast, fought against it because they reckoned that the masses would be seduced from the ways of hard work and become slothful, and they saw that the treasury would be drained … Read more

OK, something a bit lighter for the morning. Do you know what these words mean?
So succinct. So hilarious. From smalldeadanimals.com comes a poignant rejoinder that exposes the naive idiocy on the left brilliantly. (h/t Corner, smalldeadanimals.com)

All depend on mathematics and engineering skills (STEM) – arcane “studies” grads are not going to get these types of compensatory rewards. Unless you are a genius, you will work hard, often very hard, to get that degree. But you will have a marketable skill. On the other hand…
On Thanksgiving the Muslim Brotherhoods Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi (Morsy) declared himself immune to judicial oversight (See also King, Dictator, Tyrant). In the name of protecting the revolution no judge may overturn, edit, retract, modify, overrule, or otherwise act in any manner to alter any edict the new King of Egypt utters…until the (cough cough) people’s assembly has been elected and a new constitution has been written….
So none of that overturning executive orders nonsense, judges can’t stop them, and any lawsuits directed at the folks at the top of the power pyramid are hereby vacated.
Some “animals” are again more equal than others.
