Things most of the world still does not know about that ‘little angel, the “white Hispanic” guy, and journalists.
Carlos Danger is the current leader among candidates for Mayor of New York City. Yes, you know him as Tony Weiner…though he prefers to go by the name….Anthony, when he is not busy seducing 22 year old women online, offering them jobs and apartments in Chicago, and sending them pictures of his… Weiner, admits to … Read more
…The Left is always trying to trick us into forgetting about the rising tide that lifts all boats, so we’ll be content with the shallow water and damp sand of central planning.

That’s right – be happy with what Govt gives you for crumbs. Paragraph from whence that came from after the jump (GRTWT):
We are often privvy to things around here we are not encouraged to share right away. Here’s one that just popped up on WMUR. State Sen. Martha Fuller Clark, D-District 21, has eight people registered to vote under her single-family address in Portsmouth. Several of them came to New Hampshire to work on campaigns for … Read more
There is a movement making its way out of the narrative-colon of the Democrat machine; Detroit failed because of Republicans. If Republicans just spent more of other people’s money Detroit would be fine. I can’t recall the last time there were any Republicans running Detroit but if there were they were probably left of former … Read more
Ted Cruz: “Reaganomics: You start a business in your parents’ garage. Obamanomics: You move into your parents’ garage.” (H/T: Instapundit)
Last evening I drove down the to seacoast area of NH for a book signing by James O’Keefe on his new book (now a NYT Best Seller – man, I bet somebody was banging on their keyboard really hard for each letter to put that on their list, especially since Rush told folks to go buy it!) “BREAKTHROUGH – Our Guerrilla War to Expose Fraud and Save Democracy“. No, I didn’t get mine signed then – I had an extra special time with James here. But I did record his talk to the house full of activists:
He was also gracious enough to take 12 questions from the attendees, including one from me:
Cities and states are sinking under the burden of debt brought about by public service union contracts. How did it get this way and what can be done about it? Philip Howard, founder of Common Good, has answers. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kxe34WqKcT4&feature=player_detailpage
Trying to get NASCAR, Indy, and Formula One fans to all just get along?

“If Obama had a city, it would look like Detroit.” – Tweeter undisclosed via NRO, Mark Steyn
I apologize for the repeated posts about New Hampshire Attorney General Joseph Foster but when the AG, a known partisan Democrat appointee, comes out on cue toeing the Obama Administration Stand Your Ground narrative behind him, it is difficult for this dog to leave that particular bone alone.
So in keeping with what has turned into NH AG Joe Foster week, and while we wait for him to explain if George Zimmerman had any rights or how he still had an obligation to retreat while Mr. Martin was on his chest smashing his head into the pavement, it only seems fitting to bring up at least two more points.
Phrase of the Show (by Father Christian Tudor: STAND YOUR GROUND MORALLY!

Questions! I had lots of questions that went unanswered – most because they didn’t have the time to be asked:
“I’m not sure it rises — no pun intended — to that level.” —Anthony Weiner to CNN Folks are calling this an, “Anthony Weiner Pic.” Problem (accuracy-wise) is, it is, “sans weiner.” Close but not cigar, (As Gennifer Flowers might say to Monica).

I lost all respect, years ago, for Laconia Daily Sun Reporter Michael Kitch when we had a blowout argument that my town was made up of residents and elected officials that were cheapskates. Certainly, he knew that I truly believed that when I was on the Budget Committee in my hamlet, I tried mightily to act in the vein that “this is not my money” – and spent a lot of time trying to convince others of the same. If anything, I tried to be more frugal with other peoples’ money, their property tax monies, than I am with my own. After all, it IS mine – I earned it and I should be able to spend it the way I want to.
Kitch believes otherwise – he could not understand (or stand) the idea that I (and my town, and other political entities) refused to raise the taxes on our residents simply to send that money to towns and cities that were broke. Broke not because the single industry in town just up and left (and to which I would have some empathy) but because of years and decades of Progressive / Liberal / Democrat rule – the largest example now being Detroit. As I have written here before, we had a screaming match over the fact that I refused to send money to the leaders of those towns, who have already proved that they are incapable of wisely spending their taxpayers monies. WHY would I want to send them more and “enable” their bad habits? His response was that ‘we are all in this together, that there were people still hurting in those cities, that the intent to help was paramount, and it was irrelevant that the political and appointed leaders would just waste that extra money.
Right…
