Pornography is an addiction. The pleasure derived from it is neurochemical, no different than any other pharmaceutical high. Men are particularly susceptible. And the culture continues to shift towards a society where porn is like aspirin.

Picture of the Day 4-2-11 (Actually, Yesterday Was…)
One of the risks of pre-scheduling….getting the day wrong.
Death To Rail (Bride Of RTA)
This is what we call the tits-on-a-bull defense. Chris wants rail. There is no good reason for it, he just wants it. And he could care less that we already have infrastructure that works, that is more adaptable, and which costs significantly less to operate.
Who Missed The Vote? [updated]
Someone asked…who didn’t vote on HB1 and HB2. Who are these reps anyway? OK, we’re here to deliver. HB 1 here, HB 2 on the jump!
[update] So everyone knows, I am not passing judgment here, just posting the list. Plenty of these folks will have been excused, or approved absences, even important or necessary business that kept them away or took them away from the State House. Your job is verify the absences of your reps if they concern you, and if you are unable to find good cause, discuss it with them as time permits.
Only four democrats skipped the vote on HB 1 while twenty six Republicans did not cast a vote.

NH Democrats New Talking Point: Subservience To The Crown
New Hampshire democrats are exposing their own hypocrisy again. Doesn’t take much, but this time it is over HCR 19 which reaffirms our states sovereign duty to nullify actions by the general government in defense of its residents.
Extremists? Sure, On The Left Aide Of The Aisle
NH Democrats and unions do not support New Hampshire workers rights. If they did they’d be defending the other 90% of the states workers from the inequality in pay and benefits afforded to public union employees. So this isn’t about workers rights, it is about protecting the big business of big Unions and democrat political campaign contributions, at the expense of 90% of New Hampshire’s workers. If anyone is being an extremist it’s the democrats and their union backed, taxpayer funded ponzi scheme.
2012 Can’t Come Fast Enough
The Sunday Union Leader had a letter to the editor titled "2012 can’t come fast enough." It suggests that New Hampshire did not vote for a majority and leadership intent on stripping collective bargaining agreements from 70,000 New Hampshire workers…" which is a number I would contest given this data. (Where we may be hiding 70,000 public sector union workers is a question worth exploring, but not right now.)
The author is Kevin Foley. Kevin is a great guy. We worked together at UPS for a number of years, he was a driver, and I was a package car loader–including his. But Kevin has been a well paid union organizer with the Teamsters for years, as an IBT Business agent, and earns more than double the national average in income and compensation for the privilege. Kudos to Kevin for the sweet gig. I bet he works hard for it.
Kevin has donated hundreds, maybe even thousands of dollars to democrats and the local Teamster PAC–(Granite State Teamsters DRIVE) which supports the national union and democrat candidates in the state (one local example from NH S.o.S.); the same ones who grew state government, added public union employees, some of whose dues pay Kevin’s salary, and the same democrats who left us with a nearly one billion dollar budget deficit as a result.
Picture of the Day 3-28-11 (Palate Cleanser)
Sometimes you need something cute and fuzzy to break up the political noise. The blogosphere refers to them as "palate cleansers." This is damn cute and fuzzy.
Define Irony For Me
The government run schools are concerned about making sure students get some kind of an education in personal finance and economics.

Thanks to FB buddy Bruce, who linked to my Earth Hour post, which lead me to his blog, which lead me to a web site that sells stuff with this on it…
Obama- A Bad Investment Whose Turn is Running Out.
They promised jobs, cars, peace, good health, they’d save our homes, make peace with the world, and create a clean energy future. No more infighting, partisanship, dirty politics, special interests running things–nothing but sunshine and happiness.
Public Employee Union Members Fail in Attempt to Intimidate Republicans in NH State House Finance Committee!
WOW! On March 24, 2011 the State House Finance Committee—which prepares state budgets—met to vote on a budget bill. Rep. Neal Kurk proposed an amendment that would put an end to the so-called "Evergreen Clause" that gives public employee unions huge power in spending negotiations, and an incentive to "stonewall" in order to get what they want. With … Read more
Spoiled Brat Unions Don’t Want Parity – Again.
The measure states–if I understand it correctly–that if the union contract expires and has not been renewed, and no new contract is yet negotiated, those employees become at-will workers who can be treated (wait for it) like everyone else.
Roll Call-palooza – Another Democrat Taxpayer Swindle
New Hampshire Democrats, who benefit from taxpayer money laundered through public employee union dues into their campaign, are spending taxpayer dollars in the legislature to make sure they have sound bites and talking points to give to their union buddies to ensure the Aztec gold continues to flow moving forward.
The End Of The “We Pay Taxes Too” Argument?
The only way it could ever be equal, is if we all paid the same taxes, and taxpayers paid nothing extra for benefits and retirement; you would have to fund pay all of your share of both at the same rates as the average private citizen.
