As some of my friends know and as I like to say, I came to local journalism in an unorthodox manner, by way of politics and radio. I didn’t go to j-school … I won’t win a Pulitzer … but I’ve won a lot of awards and I’m pretty good at what I do. My love of the news business came...

While I appreciate all the concern about Donald Trump’s labor secretary pick, Andrew Puzder, due to his tussles about the minimum wage and the overtime provision, similar to my post about Dr. Ben Carson, I ask, Who is more qualified to lead the labor secretary position – someone who has...

After sitting on it for more than a month, I finally got a chance to watch “13 Hours” … I found the movie riveting. If you haven’t seen it, you should. Hang tight, Netflix, it’s on its way back …

An interesting exchange on Facebook Monday led me to do a bit of research after a slew of local folks I know were tittering about Donald Trump’s appointment of Dr. Ben Carson to lead the Department of Housing and Urban Development. To these people, most of them not supporters of Trump, it was...

Can we all agree that it’s time for Evan McMullin to sail into the sunset? Seriously, dude, your 15 mins of fame are up. Please go away … His recent 10-point plan to fight Trump just appeared in my work Twitter feed as a must read. I made the mistake of clicking on it and just lost an...

FINE-AH-LEE … we have a public official – who, I might add, isn’t even a public official yet – not making excuses but, instead, FIGHTING for every American job: “Donald Trump Targets Second Indiana Plant Over Plans to Shift to Mexico” This morning, he took to Twitter, writing...

Operation Santa Claus shopping done … Merry Christmas, “Jordon” … #joy

While working, I’m listening to some of the Harvard IOP 2016 presidential roundup in the background. The audio was embargoed until last night and there are some news stories up last night and this morning about the two-day conference. The opening session consultant segment was pretty...

Cat and mouse? Eating crow? Let Mitt stew before you pick someone else? I’m with Rand Paul on this one – the nation needs a Secretary of State that understands that war is a last resort and the taxpayers of America can’t afford nation building any longer – it...

Another inaccurate, ginned up headline by the dolts at CNN.com who don’t understand the lawmaking process but at least it made a lot of people look and click this morning, which is the business model for online news. Donald Trump isn’t ignoring law with this Tweet – he is...

Q: Where have you all been? You’re freaked out about hate and Swastikas now?

I had a tribute show this week on the Taste the Floor Show to both Leonard Cohen and Leon Russell, who both passed away last week. Leonard Cohen: Suzanne Leonard Cohen: Don’t Go Home with Your Hard-on Concrete Blonde: Everybody Knows Leonard Cohen: Sisters of Mercy Leonard Cohen: So Long,...

Dennis Prager is a conservative radio talk show host who is completely wrong on a lot of things. But his PragerU videos are pretty good walkthroughs of why things exist the way they are. If you haven’t seen this one – I haven’t until today – here is a very good...

Here are some little diddies I love. Check them out this week on the Taste the Floor Show. Pixies: Tony’s Theme The Rolling Stones: Hand of Fate The Rolling Stones: Before They Make Me Run Warren Zanes: Sidewalk Sale The Del Fuegos: Curious Ritual: Get With It Girl The Curtain Society:...

Congratulations, Mr. President-Elect. Nice job everyone involved in all of the campaigns, including the ignored independents, for all of your hard work this campaign season. We must accept the results and face the future together. The nation has a lot of work to do. More later. Markets...

I have been toying with this 289 Electoral College win prediction by Trump even before he was the nominee and I’m going to stick by it. It might be even closer than that. But, why vary from what you’ve believed in before? Here are two other posts to eye: “70% OF THE WHITE GUY...

The Collapsable Hearts Club’s “Easy Street” … The Walking Dead Daryl torture song. Frankly, it’s less annoying than all the political ads:

Thank goodness this election is almost over … The Gamble of Trump The WSJ never endorses in the presidentials. And this is not a pro-Trump editorial, BTW. In fact, it could be seen as negative – because the editorial board of the Journal is so wedded in believing its core...

Even smarter than she is beautiful … “I don’t vote with my vagina…” LOL … can you believe she’s 70? Wow …

Here’s what I played this week on the Taste the Floor show: The Jesus & Mary Chain: Taste the Floor The Honeyfire: Replica Hope Sandoval and The Wild Inventions featuring Kurt Vile: Let Me Get There Sex With Strangers: Space in Time Bec Sandridge: High Tide The Pale White: That...

This is why I use DuckDuckGo.com on my iPhone instead of Google: Unfiltered search. During the weekend, I was trying to find out where a Clinton rally in Ohio was happening after someone photoshopped the crowd – repeating the same crop – to make the crowd look larger than it was....

Yup …

Men’s room, Mall of New Hampshire. I don’t recall noticing this before although I haven’t been to the food court of this mall in about three years. Since I’m on the Manchester Police email list, I know there have been a lot of overdoses and drug arrests in this...
