SMITH: Make Nashua A More WELCOMING City

June 4, 2026 Julie Smith

I just saw a tweet about some “30-minute warning” announcement about a curfew in a city. The average observer might think of a big box store’s intercom saying, “Attention shoppers, the store closes in 30 minutes, please bring your purchases to the register.” Not me.

BOWMAN: Worth Our Time

March 18, 2026 Jim Bowman

First off, I’d like to express thanks for the good fortune of having been born a couple of weeks prior to D-Day. And I’m not alone, as I have listened to various young “whipper-snappers” wishing that they should have been born “back then,” especially from two of the roughest and toughest, our American Marines.

A Few More Words on All the Tips, Leads, Links, and Incoming Content We Get from Readers Every Day … From Me

October 17, 2022October 16, 2022 Skip

Yep, Steve’s right – we LOVE getting tips and links and memes. What we HATE is not having the time to use them all (you’d have new posts every two minutes IF we could do an entire post in a minute and a half).

Don’t Forget About F#∉!*^$! Daylight Savings Time (DST) This Weekend

March 12, 2022 Steve MacDonald

Blame the Germans. They invented Daylight Savings Time. Something to do with saving fuel and power. An idea the US adopted then abolished at the end of World War I.

Friday Open Thread – Time’s a flyin’ so fast I forgot it was Friday!

October 8, 2021 Skip

Actually, Steve had to remind me: Are you not doing an open thread at 6:30 this week? I cleared the time slot you had filled (with something else) for that but I’ll fill it back up if you are not doing one. Oops – forgot it was Friday. Yes, I will put it up. And … Read more

The time-and-effort loophole

May 19, 2020May 19, 2020 Ian Underwood

If you’re a female, you’re not allowed to sell your eggs to someone else. However, you can donate them, while receiving ‘compensation for your time and effort’.

Notable Quote – Orrin J. H. Johnson

May 1, 2020 Skip

On Nevada about to open up: emphasis mine: These shutdowns were always meant to be temporary, emergency measures, like a donut spare tire you can only use until you get to the shop. It was to give us time to expand our hospital capacity, which we’ve done, and to spread out the infections so we … Read more

Democrat’s Green New Deal Destroyed in Under Three Minutes

February 9, 2020 Steve MacDonald

We all know that the Green New Deal is an economic plan to advance socialism and has nothing to do with greening the planet. But let’s be like Democrat leaders and members of Congress and play make-believe. Let’s pretend it is about saving the earth.

Swedish Climate Muppet Greta Thunberg Recognized as Time Magazine’s ‘Person of the Year’

December 9, 2022December 11, 2019 Steve MacDonald

Whenever I hear ‘Time Magazine,’ I think the same thing as when I hear ‘Newsweek.’ That’s still around? And they are still doing that ~~Man~~ (sorry) person of the Year thing? Yup. And it’s as empty and meaningless as ever. This year it’s the angry climate Muppet, Greta Thunberg.
