The design team has informed me that everything is ready, and the plan is to move to the newest iteration of The Grok this weekend. Just in time. The old site is not looking so good.

Meet Two of NH’s Most Influential News Voices – Tonight at 7 pm ET
Many people who represent us in government appear to have lost their way. It happens all along the food chain, from the federal level all the way down to our local governments. Even here in Windham. Those who were elected and appointed to serve – are in fact doing just that… but many times it’s difficult to see who it is they are serving. Many times it’s not us – and they need to be held accountable.

To state the obvious, GraniteGrok.com is being censored by the Nashua School Board for political reasons: Why block us? There has to be … Read more
…….If the Front Page Looks a Bit Goofy – It is. We’re Working On it.
We woke up this morning to an unplanned “appearance change.” The Front Page looks, different. No, we’re not in transition. Something or someone clicked something. The above the fold posts on the PC version of the home page lost their featured image, and the headline justified further left. The font is different as well. “Experts” are working … Read more

Granite Grok’s Top Twenty Posts For 2012
Hot Air does this every year, so I figured I’d give it a shot. It is a compilation of the posts that got the most comments in 2012. That’s right, this is comment based.
And I can tell you, since I have a few posts on this list, that how well you write, or how clever you are, is not nearly as important as hitting the right note at just the right time. That or some much more interesting tangents pop up in comments and then take on a life of their own.
However they got there, here are the twenty most commented on Grok posts of 2012 whether the comments are related to the post or not!
20.) So, gay activists, where do you think this will end up? We’ve all asked the question…if two men getting married is a right, why not three? Skip provides a cartoon and some comments, and attracts all the right kind of attention for his effort.
19.) Oh, so THAT’s what they look like! Susan Olsen shares with us the ‘Journalists Guide to Firearms identification. Proof that a picture is worth a thousand words, or at least a bunch of comments.
18.) Meet Another State Employee Wasting Taxpayer Time Online Dick de Seve wasn’t the only state employee with way too much free time on their hands, and open access to the Internet. In this post we meet Gaia, who made deSeve look like an armature.
BE BREITBART: Update 6: Right To Know Request – IT/HR – Responses from the State of NH DES.
In our last post, we started to go over the first official response from NH’s Department of Environmental Services concerning the political blogging of Richard de Seve while on the taxpayer dime – a LOT of Lefty blogging from this staunch Democrat (sufficient enough to be a Delegate for Dennis Kucinich during his run in 2008 for President). In our Right To Know we had several specific items to which DES had to respond, one way or another, and each was addressed (one way or another).
One way or another? Well, if you remember, I singled out that word “responsive” in that last post; that will be discussed. Not to stretch this out, but essentially, here are the possible outcomes:
- The data just does not exist – either it was not captured, plain got lost, or deleted / trashed (based on time criteria) – “No data for you!” (to paraphrase the Seinfeld Soup Nazi)
- The data exists, but pertains to personnel matters, and thus are exempt from RSA 91-A requests – again, “No data for you!” (to paraphrase the Seinfeld Soup Nazi)
- Data exists, but is beyond the scope of our request (i.e., we will not see all of Mr. de Seve’s emails; sure, we asked for emails, but worded such that we were interested only in those outbound of the State’s domain – and not DES work related) – “meh, so what; no biggie – we’re just not that much into you”
- Data exists, it meets our time criteria (1/1/2005 to 3/12/2012) and fits our request – Ahhhhhh – responsive!
Why pay for old news when you can get it new for free?
Hours before anyone else in New Hampshire, GraniteGrok had a detailed post up on the joint statement released by the people formerly known as Michele Bachmann’s New Hampshire campaign staff.
