Today, while delaying going out and cleaning up from the snowstorm, I ventured into “the box I never go through” … photos, memorabilia, postcards, other things … it is just too emotional … However, I needed some things in there for a special project so, I had to...

ICYMI, here’s my article about the passing of state Rep. Steve Vaillancourt, R-Manchester: ​’Outstanding Orator’ Steve Vaillancourt Has Passed Away​. May he rest in peace.

For those of you worried about the American Health Care Act/RyanCare, let me give you pause for a moment. First, I agree that the bill is as bad — if not worse than the Affordable Care Act — for many reasons. I also don’t trust the Congress — regardless of which party controls it — to...

Here is, I believe, the sixth edition of “i” tunes from the iTunes player: The Jesus and Mary Chain: Taste the Floor The Psychedelic Furs: Imitation of Christ The Psychedelic Furs: In My Head Big Country: In A Big Country Let’s Active: In Between Let’s Active: In Little Ways The...

I almost didn’t believe this so I looked it up myself … yes, Donald Trump and the Republican Congress have reduced the federal debt by more than $101 billion. Actually, it’s $101,258,995,801. No, this isn’t “fake news” – it’s right there from treasurydirect.gov. For deficit and...

This week on the Taste the Floor Show, I played a lot of new stuff and some more “I” tunes from the iTunes player. Here’s what I played: Pixies: Tony’s Theme Ride: Charm Assault Kingsbury: Emeralds Molly Burch: Wrong for You Parlor Walls: Teach Me Where To Roam Bleached:...

To think, our federal government has been spending $1 trillion a year for our defense and spying security state and somehow, the Russians magically knew in 2005 that Donald Trump would run for president and win, and that’s why an oligarch overpaid for one of the president’s previous...

I have to admit that I haven’t read much of Nate Silver at FiveThirtyEight although I know a lot of folks rave about him. I just don’t have a lot of time to reach much of anything, actually. However, I’ve always been intrigued by data, as well as data people, and how they...

So, I’ve been thinking about the so-called “Constitutional crisis” of White House flack Sean Spicer holding a private gaggle for some news outlets while not allowing other outlets — including CNN and the New York Times — to attend. I wouldn’t have even bothered writing...

President Donald Trump announced on Twitter today that he would be blowing off the White House Correspondents Dinner … I will not be attending the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner this year. Please wish everyone well and have a great evening! — Donald J. Trump...

I was watching “Rocky” streaming on AMC in the background while doing work today and was really puzzled — and angered — by an edit. During the scene where Rocky learns from Mickey that Apollo Creed’s people came by the gym to talk to him and dropped off a card, and then,...

And I’ll be watching “The Walking Dead” and not the Oscars.

A lot of discussion is being had about a number of voter registration bills before the Statehouse looking to address the domicile loophole and define who a resident of New Hampshire actually is when it comes to voting. While I don’t do a ton of Statehouse coverage at Patch, I do try to watch...

Talkers Magazine has just announced that liberal radio talk show host and FoxNews contributor Alan Colmes has passed away. I was a huge fan of his noon-time radio show back in the 1990s — he was the first radio host to take recorded comments and play them back, on his “graffiti...

It’s been a while since I’ve looked at a Concord Monitor editorial and that, has been, nice. A friend on Facebook shared this one today: “Editorial: Working toward a fair map,” and there are just so many things wrong with it … where to start? First, it gets the...

Nice memo released this week from the editor-in-chief of Reuters: “Covering Trump the Reuters Way.” I would add two important things that the national press has to remember: 1) anonymous sources can’t be trusted or used as the basis of a complete story; use the information...

This year, I participated in the NHTI fundraiser, Dancing with the Concord Stars, along with Tammy Amnott, a local real estate agent. Patch intern Myra Shah put together this nice post about the event. Tammy and I were trained by Miranda and Sarah at NV Dance Productions in Concord, who...

I’m too busy to spend my time countering everything that gets ginned up by the mainstream press against the Donald Trump presidency but I will say that as a member of the press, it is really getting to be embarrassing (and while I have, historically, worked in local, community...

I was just going to put a short note up but then, it got carried away. However, here are some thoughts about the Trump inauguration. First, I thought President Trump’s speech was pretty good. It struck at major themes that are long overdue, most importantly: The American people have to take...
