NH HOUSE SEES HUGE HOLE IN CAMPAIGN FINANCE BILL AND KILLS IT!

Posted on June 28, 2007 - Filed Under NH Politics | Leave a Comment

The NH House realized as I did that the language in the committee of conference report on SB 91 had a huge flaw. I could almost be convinced that someone deliberately snuck that wording into the bill with the intention of getting it killed on the floor. That would be better than the opposite hypothesis […]

NH TAXPAYERS - YOUR WALLET HAS BEEN LYNCHED!

Posted on June 28, 2007 - Filed Under New Hampshire, National Politics, NH Politics | Leave a Comment

Governor Lynch has chimed in on the important bills passed this year and one is the minimum wage increase. I really doubt that he thinks it will do anything except fuel inflation, after all, hardly anyone in NH actually works for the minimum unless they are high school kids working for the summer vacation. It […]

NEW HAMPSHIRE A SPEED TRAP STATE?

Posted on June 28, 2007 - Filed Under Travelling, New Hampshire, NH Politics | Leave a Comment

A Milford man is trying to prove that New Hampshire’s speed limits are set artificially low and that it is a way the state extracts extra money from citizens. A few years ago I would have disagreed, but not now.
His claim as reported in the Union Leader today is:
… he believes many speed limits have […]

DOCTORS WANT TO IMPLANT RFID CHIPS IN PATIENTS!

Posted on June 27, 2007 - Filed Under New Hampshire, National Politics, NH Politics | Leave a Comment

In 2005 and 2006 the New Hampshire legislature held extensive - divisive debates on a bill dealing with Radio Frequency ID (RFID) chips in consumer goods. The major concern revolved around people having products (like a pair of pants) with one of these chips. Some nefarious (or not so nefarious) person or corporation could then […]

NH LUCKY TO BE NOT A MOTOR VOTER STATE

Posted on June 27, 2007 - Filed Under National Politics, NH Politics | Leave a Comment

The people of New Hampshire are lucky to have avoided having to comply with the Clinton Era Motor Voter law. That federal law was meant to make it easier for people to register to vote. The members of Congress who pushed it through said things like poor people who apply for a drivers license or […]

GLOBAL WARMING OR NEW ICE AGE?

I am so confused now. There are scientists saying the earth is getting hotter and we will all die. Then other scientists say it is really getting colder and we will all die. Can’t I just click my ruby slippers and say “there’s no place like home”?

NEWMAN’S BACKING DEMOCRATS SHOULD SCARE THEM

Posted on June 27, 2007 - Filed Under Hillary, National Politics, NH Politics | Leave a Comment

Paul Newman has “penned” a letter seeking to raise $114,941 for the Democrats. In it he talks about Republicans “scare mongering” - well, I think the Democrats should be scared.
Looking thru the list of Democrat Presidential candidates he has donated to in the past, his support seems to be the kiss of death!
In the letter […]

IRAN POSSIBLY APPROACHING A FLASHPOINT

While Nero fiddled, Rome burned. While Marie Antoinette said “Let them eat cake”, Paris was in flames. While Ahmadinejad plays Hitler Iranians torch gas stations. A country with huge oils reserves is rationing gas - even as they are subsidizing the cost.
“Guns, fireworks, tanks, [President] Ahmadinejad should be killed,” chanted angry youths, throwing stones at […]

THE ONLY QUESTION SEEMS TO BE WHEN WILL WE HAVE TO ATTACK IRAN?

Posted on June 26, 2007 - Filed Under World politics, Marines, National Politics | Leave a Comment

Diplomacy and appeasement are going no where. Iran is still belligerently proceeding with their nuclear weapons program, waging war in Iraq, Lebanon and Palestine through surrogates and threatening Israel’s very existence. The Europeans have tried all their usual (and ineffective) diplomatic efforts. The US has also had no success with diplomacy, The UN sanctions have […]
