Grokster Beth Scaer called attention to the NH Journal article about the (anti) Columbus Day bill, its recent committee hearing, and Dems’ shenanigans. She also pointed out to those not in the know that Catherine Sofikitis is her State Rep. Let’s talk about Ward 7 for a moment, shall we?

North America has No Indigenous People But Let’s Name a Day After Them Anyway
This morning’s Union Leader makes note of a bill lurking in the State House. It will force progressive revisionist values on the entire Granite State. And it is a subject to which I have provided substantial discourse — indigenous People’s Day. For the umpteenth time, North America doesn’t have any. But who am I to ignore the opportunity to revisit this.
New Hampshire’s New Minister of Happy Meals
Skip Murphy joins me to discuss HB 1668, the soda ban bill that empowers the nanny state to micro-manage yet another aspect our existence. What beverage restaurants can allow parents to order with kids meals? View or listen on the original blog post page here.
Timmyz In For A Rude Awakening
“Truth never penetrates an unwilling mind.” – J. L. Borges
Like most people who foment voter fraud, either by assisting in it or simply ignoring its existence, Rep Timothy Horrigan (D- Land of Voter Fraud) are not long for a very rude awakening. But in advance of this tumultuous awakening, Horrigan is quoted by WMUR in defense of his bill to repeal the New Hampshire voter ID law currently in place.
Rep. Timothy Horrigan, D-Durham, argued for repeal, saying the voter ID law is “an excessive solution to a virtually nonexistent problem.” Horrigan said no evidence of voter fraud exists in the state.
Emphasis mine.
Repeal was not embraced, though the Democrats have halted any additional provisions until the AG is done lying about the existence of voter fraud, much the way every AG has for most of (at least) the last decade.
The problem is not that it does not exist, it is that either no one wants to be bothered or the fraud favors those tasked with the looking.
The Ever-So-Dysfunctional Timothy Horrigan

Timmy HAD TO KNOW when this UL Editorial hit, we here at the Grok would be all over it. This editorial…”Civility in question: Rep. Horrigan shamed again.” So we all have to ask…”what drew the ire of the Union Leader Editorial pages?”
Seems its nothing new for Timmy…the same thing he resigned over the last time: Making bothersome comments, to be kind and judicious.
In 2010, Rindge DemocRAT Keith David Halloran quipped on his Facebook wishing that Sarah Palin and her daughter’s former boyfriend were the
This Slut Votes
The War on Women continues apace, and right here in the Granite State. According to ‘The New Hampshire,’ a UNH campus publication, on April 28th, 30 people “gathered outside of Thompson Hall to participate in a national rally for women’s reproductive rights in support of access to birth control, Plan B One-Step, Planned Parenthood, and abortions.”
Will Buckley come Out Against Horrigan?
So I wonder what Ray Buckley thinks about Tim Horrigan changing his mind? Mr. Horrigan found himself stuck in the event horizon of Keith Halloran’s "dead Palin" remarks in early August and in a fit of malaise swore off the House and resigned his position. While I implied that would hardly last, (and I … Read more
Why It Doesn’t Pay To Defend A Democrat
Republican House Rep Steve Vallincourt came to Tim Horrigan’s defense over his Pailn comments. (This from this mornings Union Leader.)
“Rep. Horrigan didn’t wish anyone dead; he simply stated a political truth,” Vaillaincourt wrote. “Were Sarah Palin to die today, her myth, like actor James Dean, would surpass anything she’s done in life. If Dem officials took Rep. Horrigan to the woodshed for these remarks, they rather than he should be resigning."
In response to Vallincourt’s comments Harrel Kristein, democrat party, issued a prompt press release
"Will NHGOP Practice What They Preach? GOP Representative praises comments about the death of Sarah Palin."
“If the New Hampshire Republican Party is really concerned with abhorrent political speech, they should immediately denounce Rep. Vaillancourt’s comments and ask him to resign.”
I guess that means you can’t talk about it, even to defend Horrigan?
Secret Squirrel Goes Public–Palin More Dangerous Dead

Horrigan Resigns
Just about everyone who would read this probably already knows this–Tim Horrigan has resigned after posting comments about Sarah Palin on facebook in response to the discussion about Keith Halloran’s "death wish" comments. And while the resignation is probably appropriate, the situation surrounding it has it’s own bits of intrigue.
First, the comment that got Mr. Horrigan in trouble on Halloran’s facebook post–the one that is posted at NowHampshire and on the Granite Status, is not the only one. A second version appeard briefly on a seperate facebook post–since deleted it seems and no I did not do a screen capture–but I did copy and paste the text into the comments section of my previous post on the matter while looking for the original. Here’s that comment.
"ironically a dead Sarah Palin would’ve been much more of a problem for the left than the living one is. her myth has very little to do with anything she has ever said, done or accomplished. in fact, she isn’t actually DOING anything now. s…he doesn’t even SAY anything aside from "you betcha" and "mama grizzly." all she ever accomplished was to help McCain blow the 2008 election. she’s just a blank wall on which some people project their hopes and some others, like the unfortunate Keith David Halloran, project their hatred"
The wording is very similar to the orignal, though with more detail. Sorry I did not get the capture–but what does it mean? He took the time to write it twice. It wasn’t just a fluke spur of the moment thing. Whatever that portends, he has since apologized and resigned his seat and his re-election. I’d say he means it.
But is that all there is to say?

Yes, this is a follow up to my earlier post–Peter " No Parking" Schmidt. Apparently Peter is a real stand up guy. Veteran. Works hard. Always shows up in Concord. I appreciate … Read more
