We have invested no small amount of effort to protect the Gulf of Maine from dangerous development but the Feds want what the Feds want.

Before the door hits him in the ass, on the way out, Governor Chris Sununu issued an executive order rescinding 145 past executive orders going as far back as 2003. The list included several of his own, including nineteen from 2020 and 11 from 2021 (where we’ll likely find the pandemic-era Flununu flinch Emergency Orders). … Read more
The fallout from the withdrawal of Mindy Atwood for State Librarian continues to amuse. I think I made the points that needed making yesterday here (If Book Banning Is Bad, Why Can You Do It?) and here (Actually, Libraries Are The Problem), but when proglodytes give you low-hanging fruit…you make jam out of them.

The Town of Windham is bad at elections. Before the 2020 Windham Incident, we don’t know how bad, but since then, they’ve failed at every opportunity to ensure election integrity. This required the Secretary of State to provide election monitors, which hasn’t done much good, and the most recent report on Windham’s progress is proof. … Read more

To be honest, he’s always been a bit more “ahem” circumspect than I on almost any issue you’d be willing to query us. I … Read more

Having been Foster Parents for a bit, most “regular” folks have no idea what goes on other than what appears on TV for the worst of cases (e.g., Harmony Montgomery).
