The NH State Supreme Court, remember them? They had the distinction of having several members impeached back in 2001 for trying to rig a decision. But as in the Clinton style we have become so used to their antics they are still with us because too many lawyers and lawyer spouses were on the Senate end of that process and not one of them was removed from the bench.

And so it goes.

The latest decision they have careened into once again involves a very simple set of facts they have danced around. This time it is a protected elite community, Henniker.

It’s now officially official, old lady Hillary Clinton is running for President.  Perfect.  Now I just need to dust off and update these once  perfectly acceptable age jokes.  I’m sure they’ll still be just as appropriate and well received when applied to an old lady Democrat…right?

Check out these goodies reported by the Times (updates and edits mine):

David Letterman: “Bob Dole Hillary Clinton is calling himself herself an optimist, I understand this because a lot of people would look at a glass as half empty. Bob Dole Hillary Clinton looks at the glass and says, ‘What a great place to put my teeth.’ ”

Jay Leno: Bob Dole’s Hillary Clinton’s senior aides are urging him to hurry up and make his list of potential choices for Vice President,..  Searching for a Vice President doesn’t bother me. What bothers me is that Bob Dole Hillary Clinton has senior aides. How old are they — 90, 100? I mean, senior aides?

And this treasure trove of good humor (updates and edits mine):

“she has a choice: either avoid discussion of the issue or resign.”

Will she listen to the people who know her best, Republicans in Cheshire County, and remove her name?  Decisions have consequences and NH State GOP Committeewoman Bergeron is now learning that her decision to sign an amicus brief with other “Republican luminaries” supporting gay marriage to the Supreme Court (running counter to just about every State level GOP Platform affirming traditional marriage is between one man and one woman) has really riled up her Cheshire County constituents.  As my last post indicated, why can’t our so-called “leaders” listen to the voters that put their butts into their seats based on Republican ideals and act that way?

With her action, Bergeron put HER agenda before that of her Party’s Principles – and now they have reacted to that selfish action.  Jim McConnell called and let me know that this resolution / request of an action was introduced into the Cheshire Republican Committee for consideration.  It will be published in their newsletter and will be voted upon at their next meeting (emphasis mine):

Recall the horrific story about New Jersey woman Carol Bowne who was stabbed to death by her ex-boyfriend recently.

Bowne was stabbed to death while waiting to get permission from her police chief to purchase a firearm to protect herself.

Congressional Democrats in Washington D.C. have decided they want more women like Carol Bowne to be murdered by putting similar gun control laws in place across the country.

Yes, I have been on a bit of a sabbatical lately and it will continue as I realized that life, after 9 years of GraniteGrok, had just tipped way over in being out of balance.  I’ve said often that this hobby, over time, became more of an obsession, and then went beyond and when I noticed that my first post was 9 years and 5 days in the past, I went “uh-oh”.  One only had to look at my house to see the effects of benign neglect because of what became so important that it literally overruled almost everything else.  So for the last month or so, I’ve been rebalancing things to a more “sustainable” situation (heh!) and that will continue – but I will put up a few posts now and then – and besides, Steve asked for some content as his son’s graduation  (Congrats, Steve!!) was more important than writing, so a few posts from me will go up.  So here’s one:

TMEW and I like to frequent the local establishments, even in this age of online.  I stopped by one very successful business and as we were sitting, the owner stopped by.  Knowing each other, we immediately started to talk about the Prez wannabees and we traded some observations.  Then he asked:

Senator Marco Rubio’s living a luxurious, outrageous lifestyle out of touch with everyday Americans.  His $675,000 Florida house even has a pool!  He’s excessive and irresponsible.

While Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has been toughing it out, “dead broke” for years, living in squalor and hardship as she fights for her neighbors, the common American in only two mansions.  All this under the watchful eye of the secret service (whom she charges rent).  She sacrifices so the common everyday American doesn’t have to.
