News – Politics – Opinion – Podcasts
My new truck doesn’t get much in the way of radio reception, so I was tuning around and found NHNPR. Which is, in fact, more like Nincom Poop Radio.
Everyone needs a hobby. Michael Newdow’s is filing lawsuits to get the word “God” removed from things he says represent an establishment of religion. He’s been at it so long that the US Supreme Court rejected his latest appeal concerning “In God We Trust” on US currency – without comment.
I’ll just leave this right here…
Tesha has a habit of saying things in such a way that I’d be censoring her a lot (here’s a screen cap):
“The Catholic Church in a powerful force in Maine so when the men in dresses who f*** little altar boys told their parishoners[sic] that gay marriage was wrong and a sin, the rubes in the pews believed it and voted as they had been told”
Nice sentiment there, Jan. It doesn’t stop there, either – keep going downward and she has a hit against Islam / Muslims too!
Seems like Jan Schmidt (aka “Tesha“) is a rather opinionated person – and not always all that civil about it. No, I’m not talking meeting the normal “Blogosphere is still the Wild Wild West” variety – it seems that in many cases, that would actually be taking the High Road.
And she is running to be a NH House Rep from Nashua. I wonder if voters in Nashua understand this? If not, I’m willing to oblige. She has a “handle” by the name of Tesha at the Democratic Underground site. On the Right side of the Blogosphere, we just refer to them as the DUmmies. Trite, but we do manage to stay out of the gutter – the DUmmies? It is not known as a circle of highbrow discourse, to put it bluntly. Oft times, I’m not sure who gets dirtier – the participants there or the swine in a stockyard.
That’s a picture of her and Mr. Tesha on the right side of the pic (from DU, where she posts A LOT!). It seems she’s a software code pounder; he is the same.
Now, some might say that this Jan is not the one running; well, Mr. Tesha is pictured here at A Perfect Loaf and the pic matches that in his LinkedIn profile. Which also mentions that he is a part owner in Web Fixers. Which is registered at GoDaddy to Jan (or JanJan) Schmidt. And yes, it is her blog:
So I started a food blog … I know there are a gazillion out there but this isn’t for fame or fortune, it’s for my daughters. They’re in their mid 30’s and I still get the desperate call just around dinner time… “Mom, how do you…?” or “Do you remember that thing you used to make…?”
And this establishes Tesha to be in Nashua. These help too!
So, what else does she have to say about Catholics and those of faith in general?
William Hudson Connery III is running for the New Hampshire House. He is a Democrat. He is running in Rockinham 17. And with the registration deadline just past, he’s already got problems.
Let’s start with that picture of the anti-religious bumper sticker he had posted on facebook that he abruptly took down…just after he signed up to run for the New Hampshire House I’d guess. The one that says, “I’ve got Nothing Against God, It’s his fan club I can’t stand.” He is certainly welcome to his opinion but not being able to stand most of the population seems like a strange condition for someone seeking public office. If he “can’t stand” 8 out of 10 constituents who exactly is he hoping to represent?
He’s also rather partial to another bumper sticker (if you read the updates next to the picture) that says “I’m sorry I missed Church I was too busy practicing witchcraft and being a lesbian.”
Well where’s the left wing outrage about that?
