NH Democrat Hypocrisy, But I Repeat Myself

Being more than 3 weeks old, I’m old enough to remember when John DiStaso from WMUR called me about a fake NH Dems Twitter account.  Apparently, someone exercising their free speech rights ticked them off, and it became an ‘MUR news story about how “someone” from the Hillsborough County Republican Committee had set up this … Read more

Andrew Gillum for Veep?

Local politics is fun.  Heavy emphasis on the sarcasm, really heavy.  A letter to the editor in tomorrow’s Monadnock Ledger-Transcript (sound familiar?) likens me and my petition to Abolish the Planning Board to nazi governance. Clever! Funny though, that the Monadnock Ledger-Transcript’s policy on LTE’s requires that they be of “general interest and in good … Read more
