After I read the report I’m about to cite, I was going to steal its headline: “Jeanne Shaheen: Onetime Sludge Queen”

It’s a good one isn’t it?  It’s from TheDailyCaller report by Patrick Howley.  The “Onetime” refers to sludge, literally.  But to those who have observed the political machinations of Senator/Governor Shaheen, the figurative “sludge” still applies…heavily.  But enough of that.

Turns out when Shaheen was Governor she was for importing s**t into New Hampshire.  Literally. Not joking: drek, scheisse, scat, dung, pooh etc.   Apparently her motto was: Welcome to New Hampshire, come in and take a dump or just ship it here, we can handle it.  Or maybe, Live Free or Die from the steaming sulfuric piles of sludge wafting through the air.  What a nice image eh?  Hard to believe the enviro-whackos are so craven and sycophantic towards Democrats that they simply clothes-pin their collective noses and support Sludge Queen Shaheen this time around– they do, seriously, read on.

From the aforementioned Daily Caller report:

“Sludge,” a solid material borne of sewage wastewater and human feces, was being imported in mass quantities into the state of New Hampshire during Shaheen’s governorship between 1997 and 2003. By 1999, New Hampshire under Shaheen was importing half of its sludge from other states, and by October 2000 the state counted 50 sites for sludge-spreading.

Shaheen even made an official proclamation declaring “Biosolids Recycling Day” (i.e. “Sludge Day”)

Those who know me know I don’t care much for federal politics, but I guess Jeannie’s still spreading it….

“Read by Senator Carl Johnson:

State of New Hampshire
By Her Excellency, Jeanne Shaheen, Governor
A Proclamation Biosolids Recycling Day May 16, 2000

Whereas, this day shall be recognized as Biosolids Recycling Day in New Hampshire in recognition of the environmentally beneficial practice that has been ongoing for over 25 years; and Whereas, Biosolids Recycling in accordance with state and federal regulation is protective of public health and the environment; and Whereas, Biosolids Recycling has been a cooperative effort by the municipally owned wastewater treatment facilities, farmers, landowners, and the citizens of New Hampshire; and Whereas,

Another pile of steaming, smelly stuff from Carol Shea-Porter in the NH1 / WBIN debate.  Yes, that same Carol Shea-Porter that stole GraniteGrok copyrighted material and used it in her campaign ads without permission.  But like all Progressives, laws are only for the little people (and she ain’t one of us, I guess) and considers herself above the law.  During her latest debate with Frank Guinta, she let lose another line that had me staring at the screen (16:00 – video after the jump until I can get their formatting right):

“People didn’t lose their policies as you know and if you don’t, you can look it up”

Well, I DIDN’T have to look it up, Carol – I was one of your NH constituents that DID lose his policy – one that I liked and one that was affordable to me. The paperwork that came to me from my company explicitly said that my plan had to be replaced because Obamacare mandated stuff that I didn’t want or need.  To have made that statement make you out to be a flaming liar for craven political purposes or marks you as rather stupid (or both).  MY healthcare plan changed, my premiums went UP due to Obamacare, and having just had a doctor’s appt (which, unlike others, I got to keep this one – others, not so much) to which I now get to pay a MUCH higher deductible and a much larger bill when TMEW and I go to the Pharmacy.

For her to have made that statement is sheer

unmitigated gall on her part – and yes, I watched that smarmy teacher smirk all night long so to hear this utter fabrication was just par for the course.

To be free to choose implies acceptance of the results of choices made, which means, in turn, that there should be no assignment of blame to others, including the state, if these choices turn out to have been wrong.  – James Buchanan

I think I may be shifting over to WBIN / NH1 (Bill Binnie’s nascent media empire – the TV version) for watching the political debates for one simple reason: they are willing to share their video and allow folks like us to embed them.  WMUR – not so much as unless I wanna spend a goodly amount of time sussing out their HTML / CSS / Java code, it’s very difficult to find the actual references to their video (a “coding” paywall, if you would).

Anyways, they are running their debates and and I watched the Guinta / SEUI-Porter one.  I’m actually re-listening to it as I’m trying to find 1 sentence that CSP uttered but I came across this one *here, 8:39):

Jeanne Shaheen is not just an enemy of free speech she is a partisan warrior for controlling speech.

Shaheen voted to repeal the first amendment.

Jeanne Shaheen recently voted to make dissent illegal.   She, and 47 other US Senators, all Democrats, moved to empower congress to decide what, when, where, and how often, someone could engage in dissent. (aka; political speech they do not like.)

She wrote a letter to the IRS asking them to target potential political opponents…and they did!

“…according to a letter signed by New Hampshire’s own Senator Shaheen, sent to the Internal Revenue Service, several Democrat Senators have expressed a concern about whether 501(c)(4) groups are engaging in any campaign activity which (according to the Senators) is expressly prohibited by their 501 (c)(4) status.

The unions will have been responsible for helping the process of killing off more entry level jobs, given their insistence that entry level jobs that require no to little skills pay the same as midlevel skilled jobs.  An economically bad play – except to buff the image of such ilk like the SEIU (the most socialist / totalitarian of the union thug movement).  Now, that which was already in process in the EU is now coming here – so, will the unions “for” the fast food employees apologize for losing those jobs?  Emphasis mine, reformatted:

McDonald’s Corp. outlined plans for what it called fundamental changes to its business as it reported one of its worst quarterly profit declines in years, driven by problems in nearly every major part of its business.

Identity politics Democrats (sorry, that’s redundant), put down your latte’s and grab your iPhones to call your (whoever it is you call when you are supposed to be outraged) – a CNN anchor was giddy at the sound of a woman being assaulted,

“(This is) quite possibly the best minute and a half of audio we’ve ever come across.” (CNN Anchor Carol Costello) grinned during the entire setup.

The anchor went on to say “sit back and enjoy,” before playing the audio, in which (a woman) says she confronted a man who had allegedly pushed her little sister, only to have him shove her to the ground, then drag her by her feet while calling her an obscene name I cannot republish here that refers to the female anatomy.

Costello commented, still grinning, after the audio that “the long bleep” was her favorite part. She ended the segment by saying “you can thank me later.”
