Really, Manchester Mayor Joyce Craig? YOU posted your “beauty mark” video, I merely comment on it, and I’M sexist?

October 29, 2019 Skip

…blaming someone else for their own mistake and willingness to NOT OWN UP TO IT. This really is hilarious – and I bet that the Mayor Craig campaign decided to make the bet that no one actually WATCHED either video (or WMUR running it). Well, leave it to them to try to fund raise off … Read more

Where did the Traditional Democrats go?

October 27, 2019October 27, 2019 Steve Earle

I find it rather entertaining at times watching the gyrations of radical Democrats trying to find some excuse to impeach President Trump with no evidence of any crime, high or otherwise. But in all honesty, I can not relate any of the leftist leaders to Democrats as I recall them from as recently as twenty years ago.

There weren’t many protestors outside when I walked in, but the reporters with the Student newspaper noted it as a ‘yet’ issue. They’ll be here, I’m told. This week has been interesting for UNH.

New Jersey’s Official Twitter is, well… New Jersey

October 23, 2019

New Jersey is the last, and only, state in the Country where its citizens are not allowed to pump their own gas.

Well, is Mayor Joyce Craig and the Manchester City Charter Commission about to get a wedgie?

October 21, 2019October 21, 2019 Skip

I am certainly hoping so because if you fail to live by the law, you die by the law. Or in this case, the City Charter Commission will die by the law. A judicial injunction is being filed (or is already done) against the City of Manchester for blowing off the law. Why? If you … Read more

The actor’s interpretation of their role—the art of acting—pertains to the role played, whether based on a real person or fictional character. In other words, a “good actor” is a person who is good at pretending to be, and holding themselves out as, … Read more
