Separated At Birth

I’m a big fan of the FX series Justified. So when I saw the new Keystone Light commercial a few weeks back, starring their new spokes-character the very smooth Keith Stone, my first thought was that’s what Dickie Bennett from Justified might look like with a case of Keystone Light on his shoulder.

Er, no

Marginalizing -> Not until retired… I may not be a fan of "The Donald", I might not vote for him in the primary, but you have to admit, he got the job done on the birth certificate issue.   There is no more "Hope & Change" – people are going to judge Obama on his … Read more

RGGI and NH

Tom "counseled" our Republican NH State Senators.  Me?  Merely "counsel"?  Pshaw!  Naw, I turned up the heat a bit in doing what Tom requested: a reply! Indeed. This malarky about RGGI being a free market entity is merely that – malarky.  If it was, the free market would have created it, on its own, a … Read more

New Book into the ‘Grok!

Gangsta Govt: The FCC making its own rules, even though the Law doesn’t give it to them, the courts have said no, the Congress has said no, but the FCC continues The EPA changes the Law on its own (the "Tailoring Rule" for emissions), and helping to implement Cap N Trade via regulation even as … Read more

FRANKLY SPEAKING By Congressman Frank Guinta – The Job of Creating New Jobs – How We Can Get Granite Staters Back to Work

The Job of Creating New Jobs – How We Can Get Granite Staters Back to Work

When I was campaigning for Congress last year, I told voters that helping get people back to work was very important to me.  I meant it then, and I still mean it now.  That’s why I am conducting a major jobs initiative this week, bringing together job creators (the small business owners that are the backbone of New Hampshire’s economy), people looking for work, and your Representative in Congress.  Together, we’re discussing ways Washington can help and what it should do (or in some cases not do) to help businesses grow and create new jobs.

You see, in the free enterprise system, things work best when the private sector creates jobs and government plays a supporting, encouraging role.  Government can assist the private sector by protecting it from over taxation, over regulation and limiting its intrusion into our daily lives.  Government can create an economic environment for businesses to expand with confidence by handling our nation’s finances responsibly, which in turn creates the predictability that companies need to plan for tomorrow.  That is the best recipe for job creation.

Things work the other way, too.  We’re just emerging from…

An article on the absolute right of Jury Nullification.

Seving on a jury should be viewed as a form of liberty guerrilla warfare in the current "soft" or cold war between the forces of liberty and the forces of tyranny….We must close with the enemy and battle him in every arena, including in the courtroom. Give Leviathan no safe place, no place to let … Read more

Speculate This Jeanne Shaheen

Back in 2007 when Jeanne Shaheen was demagoging rising gas prices for political points, she insisted it was evil oil speculators who were manipulating the price to get rich off hardworking Americans. But then prices went down, Shaheen got her Obama bump and became a Senator, and she stopped picking on those imaginary speculators. But … Read more

A Road Trip for Kristin Ruggiero

kristin_ruggiero.jpg

Convicted Shrew Kristin Ruggiero received a change of scenery recently. She went on a road trip, but hardly an, “excellent adventure.” She is currently on holiday from New Hampshire Graybar U as a guest at MCI Framingham, noshing on bag lunches and partaking the requisite exercise program called, “cellblock shakedown.”  She is down yonder in the commonwealth to answer charges of a similar nature filed by the Barre Police.

Nobody sets the bar higher than Kristin. Not when it comes to false allegations, lying and conniving. Kristin is like the Energizer Bunny: She keeps going and going and Going.

Every individual life she has touched has been negatively affected. Shrew Kristin has duped New England Cable News with her faux victim story; she has convinced family members to lie and fabricate evidence for her. He own Mother, Elizabeth “Kim” McDonald is now facing felony charges of her own. Her boyfriend and former Barre Massachusetts Police Officer Brendan Bisbee now faces charges relating to his part in her case. Finally, her ex-bother-in-law Daniel Ruggiero has been indicted as well.

Kristin is all locked up. In Jail…facing another trial because of lies and fabrications she committed in the first trial. It does not end there. Kristin is on a road trip. She is currently a guest of the State of Massachusetts where she is being held to answer charges Barre police filed in 2009 accusing her of intimidation of a witness and criminal harassment. Housed at MCI Framingham, she will stand trial at Western Worcester District Court in Brookfield MA.

In February and March 2008, while working in Barre Massachusetts, Kristin filed a report with Barre Police alleging to have witnessed crimes. In the course of the reporting, officers ran routine checks of Kristin’s driver’s license for background information. Officers were not able to ascertain whether Kristin has a valid operator’s license, having driven

Birth Certificate – long form

"…Anyways, I never had a passport before last year, so I went to my local post office with my short form birth certificate to apply for my passport and was told that it was required I present the long form birth certificate. Now, I’m no “birther”, but not being a fan of Obama I joked … Read more

Much Ado About Something

“The White House cannot arbitrarily amend federal contractor requirements without a vote in Congress. This is an end-run around the constitutional process, with the Obama Administration once again attempting to implement administratively what it cannot achieve legislatively,” Wilson declared.

Clarity and Collective Bargaining?

UnionLabelClosed.jpg

Mr. Sapienza asks in the Union Leader, “Do legislators even know what state workers do?”
Perhaps some don’t. I know for a fact that some do…many have been state workers themselves. With so many flawed or misquided assumptions, the demagoguery lives on. 

Edward Sapienza of Manchester, through the Union Leader opposite editorial pages seeks to “offer some clarity and ask our state representatives and state senators, specifically what conservative values do [sic] you bring to the table?” Mr. Sapienza asserts this legislature is taking from the rank and file working class. “Getting state and county spending under control is, “taking from the working class?” pointing to the measure to remove collective bargaining.

Mr. Sapienza is a correctional officer at the Hillsborough County Jail.  As a Hillsborough County taxpayer, I am grateful and thankful for his service because being a correctional officer is a tough job. The care, custody, and control of our societal miscreants is a significant task, requiring patience, an even temperament and intelligence. Correctional Officers must follow a clearly defined set of rules, procedures and standards in dealing with our county prisoners and detainees, who, on the other hand, adhere to no such rules or standards, other than those imposed by the facility that keeps them. Few truly know what a day in the life of a correctional officer is truly like and often times, the only public mention of the men and women who do this job is when we see acts of wrong-doing by them in newspapers. It’s unfair.

Moreover, very few understand that in Mr. Sapienza’s workplace; even the most seemingly innocuous question or request by an inmate or detainee can tax a Correctional Officer. A Correctional Officer must be able to think quickly, evaluate, and understand that his response may have an unintended consequence. The CO must ask, “Did the inmate or detainee already ask another staff member? Did that staff member say, ‘no'”? If I say, ‘yes’, am I causing an inconsistency with my other staff members, enabling an inmate manipulation?” Being a correctional officer is a challenging career and is not a job for stupid people.
