Several days back, I cross-posted a story on our local blogsite about a grant for items requested by our local fire department under the guise of "homeland security." . Writes Michael Kitch in today’s [the April 26th] Laconia Daily Sun: [Gilford, NH] Deputy Fire Chief John Beland asked the board [selectmen] to authorize the department …

. As the Lambert family finds itself in the final stretch of its first foray into the financial quagmire of grants, loans, and scholarships involved with sending a child into college (Really now, who doesn’t love the FAFSA form?), we often find ourselves searching the web for something on the topic. . In the course of …
In his "State House Dome" column found in today’s New Hampshire Sunday News (Union Leader), Tom Fahey writes about some new taxes being raised (foisted) upon certain NH persons and businesses. "But wait, Doug. Don’t we live in ‘tax-free’ New Hampshire?" Oh, sure. While it’s true we don’t (yet) have an official broad-based tax, we …
So I get an email last week from that nationally-known ticket agency inviting me to spend "an evening with Roger Waters" at the TD Banknorth Garden this coming July. Let me firmly state that, although Pink Floyd is probably my favorite all-time band, I wouldn’t go see their former bassist/frontman if I got free tickets, transportation, and …
Busybody time again (this seems to be more widespread and more often than I thought!). Once again, California. Once again, a Democrat (not that I am picking on the more liberal pols, but they are making it easy). And a Republican signs onto to this foolishness. Read: Calif. Bill would give newborns $500 Each …
With the ’08 presidential nominating season seemingly in full swing, the wannabees from both parties are deep in the hunt. As I’ve noted several times in prior postings, Mitt Romney is not really my cup of tea. This is mostly based on my review of his past actions, statements, and his governorship of that infamous …
and another time to call socialized / universal / single-payer medicine by its effective name: rationed medicine. While it is nice to be able to say "everyone will be covered", the problem is that coverage will be "thin", as this example states: JK ROWLING yesterday condemned a decision to deny multiple sclerosis patients in Scotland …
Was listening to Fox News and they were doing a story about a place where almost everyone there was being intolerant and divisive. They called this other group "those people" and basically ran them down and slandered them. Where? Seattle. Who was the people with their noses stuck in the air? The liberal elite of …
This past Saturday during our radio program, “Meet the New Press” (podcasts here) I gave co-host Pat Hynes (AnkleBitingPundits) the needle about “his guy”, John McCain, the latest politician to climb aboard the “man is the cause of global warming” bandwagon. As someone who refuses to buy into that notion, I am becoming more distressed by the day …
Global warming. Fixing it’s as easy as… well, raising taxes. Read More »
Venezuela’s economy is headed for a train wreck. No matter what your politics are (and I certainly do NOT agree with Chavez AT ALL), every time government decides to stick its ham-fist into the marketplace, bad things happen. Especially when emotions get wrapped up into it all – in this case, Vermont family dairies. Farmers …
