Nothing says good times like a weekend overnight at a local Hospital. The 4 am, 5 am, and 6 am wake up calls. Frequent Blood draws BP and temperature checks. And the chest hair removal (as they pull off those sticky things to which they connect the heart monitor leads). Good times. But then I asked for it.

OK, a bit later than Steve’s posts but hey, life happens in between “stuff.” Anyways, a few videos coming up.
Prior to 9/11 I Did Not Give a Damn About Politics – What the Hell Happened?
September 11th, 2001, was one of those days when people ask you where you were. I know where I was, but that is less important than where my mind was and where it went. I had questions. The pursuit of answers led me to where I am today.
Is it Better Than Sharing Your Name With a Hedge?
I’m not sure why but people like to name things “Steve.” The default character in the game Minecraft is Steve. The hedge in the movie Over the Hedge is Named Steve.
“It’s a pretty name.”
And now there’s a unique aurora named Steve.
So Yeah, I had a Heart Attack.
Monday, April 9th between 4:30 pm and 5:00 pm ET I experienced a series of unpleasant symptoms that resolved themselves into extremely unpleasant symptoms and a heart attack.
While walking Cosmo, I felt what at first seemed to be more like winter or cold weather asthma. That feeling you get in your chest from inhaling too much cold air through your mouth. After resting a moment, the symptoms subsided. I finished the walk, though a bit out of breath.
At home things quickly accelerated.

Busy Day…
Just a shout out to the busy day. I am having one, and will not be available to post until perhaps this evening. As you were.
Lets Call It Steve
I was compiling some audio clips for this and that, and came across this (as opposed to that.) It’s from the movie “Over the Hedge,” when our hearty woodland creatures encounter that giant, mysterious Hedge. I edited it down so it is only a few seconds long, but let me assure you in advance, Steve … Read more

Grok Talk Goes mobile as we broadcast live from the Draft in Concord NH. They join us a GrokTV special event as we participate in Representative Dan Itse’s Class on the New Hampshire Constitution.
GrokTALK! (Special “Equipment Failure” Edition)
The problem with having the Fail Gremlin on the program is that you can’t have anyone else on the program because there is no live program.
HB 146 – Should NH Have Jury Nullification?
The New Hampshire House Judiciary Committee has come out against HB 146, a bill that would give the jury in any trial the power of nullification.
In this context a unanimous jury could present a not-guilty verdict despite the evidence in the case, or the letter of the law as written or applied, if it agreed in total that the law itself or the circumstances of its application are not compelling grounds for a guilty verdict.
The application of the law could be too narrow or to broad. The punishment might seem excessive given the details of the charges. It might be a bad law, or just unclear. Jury Nullification sends a message to the practitioners of the legal system, and the General Court, that something is not right.
Smoke Em After You Buy Em…In New Hampshire
Right off the bat, thanks to Matt at Red Hampshire for reminding me about Ken Wyler’s bill to cut the cigarette tax by $0.10 cents per pack. (HB 156) I’ve been queuing up a post on this having written about it often and what better time than now to unload it.
First the basics. Wyler thinks cutting the tax by a buck a carton will actually increase revenue by attracting more out of state traffic. Ken is correct. A larger cut would be better, but I guess we can crawl before we walk. And with that in mind, lets review why it will raise more revenue. And I’m not even going to have to go back very far for a decent flashback.
Who Voted Against HB 474? The Right to Work Bill
You can probably guess who voted against HB 474. Democrats. In fact not one single Democrat voted for it. But they are not beholden to the unions. Nah.
The Final Roll Call was 221 for, 131 against. My original post, with a margin of 221 to 121 was incorrect, (which means I need to find a second tweet source in the House for verification purposes.)
Of those voting no 40 were Republicans. Of those not voting, 11 were democrats and 36 were Republican. So while a veto is promised, an override is still very possible.
But is it likley?
The Republicans can’t just hope the entire caucus shows up, they need to flip a chunk of those 40 Republicans to make this happen. But can they herd cats like the left?
We’ll probably get to find out.
Until then, here are the lists of those Republicans who voted no, and those who did not vote. (on the jump.)
NH House Passes Right To Work Bill
By a vote of 221 to 121 HB 474 passes the NH House. While this is not a veto proof majority 58 House reps did not vote leaving plenty of room for a veto override.
