New Hampshire: The Real Facts

LITTLE SUZY

Little Suzy had a box of very small kittens that she was trying to give away, so she had them out on the street corner with a sign 'FREE KITTENS' next to them. Suddenly a long line of big black cars came up with a policeman on a motorcycle in front,,,,

The cars all stopped and a tall man stepped out from the biggest car.

'Hi, little girl, what do you have there in the box?' he asked. 'Kittens', Little Suzy replied 'They're so small, their eyes are not even open yet' 'What kind of kittens are they?' he asked. 'Democrats' says Little Suzy. The tall man smiled, returned to his car, and they drove away.

SHAHEEN'S DUCK OF THE DAY: CARD CHECK LEGISLATION

CONCORD – In another attempt to avoid taking a policy position, Jeanne Shaheen is ducking questions about legislation that would deny workers the right to a secret ballot vote on union representation. The bill also exposes workers to intimidation, coercion and retaliation from union organizers.

The Union Leader reports that Shaheen has refused to offer a position on the legislation despite requests for comment. While she has declined to discuss her stance, the big unions and special interests groups which have contributed tens of thousands of dollars to her campaign, are spearheading efforts to pass the card check bill.

Presenting students with review tests is an excellent instructional practice that has been happening for decades. Unfortunately, so has the unprofessional practice of teachers giving the real final tests questions in advance as review practice questions in advance of the actual final exams. But, rarely does such an occurrence come to light. Administrators and teachers in Rochester, NY got caught.

It looks like the Rochester school board might "cave in" and ask why city kids saw social studies exam questions early!

NYTimes biased? Oh, of course not, quipped the Easter Bunny....

An Opinion piece by presumptive GOP nominee is rejected by paper's op-ed editor — a former Clinton aide — who tells McCain to write article that 'mirrors Senator Obama's piece'.

According to the DrudgeReport:

NYT REJECTS MCCAIN'S EDITORIAL; SHOULD 'MIRROR' OBAMA
Mon Jul 21 2008 12:00:25 ET

An editorial written by Republican presidential hopeful McCain has been rejected by the NEW YORK TIMES -- less than a week after the paper published an essay written by Obama, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.

The Choice is.....
Real Men Vote for McCain
Top 10 reasons why.

By Lou Aguilar
1. Barack Obama spent 20 years sitting in church while his preacher and others bad-mouthed the United States of America. Navy pilot John McCain spent five years being tortured in the Hanoi Hilton, and refused a chance to walk out ahead of fellow POWs with more seniority.

2. Obama wants to cut and run from Iraq regardless of conditions on the ground or future consequences. McCain took on the president and secretary of defense in demanding more troops for Iraq, a policy that is inarguably winning the war. He also has two sons who fought in Iraq.

3. McCain supports nuclear power. Obama backs wind energy.

P.J. O'Rourke writes in the Weekly Standard.

American political methodology is an ontological construct. No, I don't know what I'm talking about, but it's true anyway. Political "science"--like that puppy from the same litter, the dismal science of economics--is not science; it's a branch of moral philosophy. Yet try talking moral philosophy with a politician. Politicians will talk strategy and tactics and policies and programs until they're blue in the face, or you strangle them and they turn blue.

As you know, Joe Kenney has been steadily and persistently campaigning to be our next Governor. He is now the Republican candidate. for Governor of New Hampshire. He has earned, and deserves our support.

The Kenney campaign is gaining momentum and was out in force being represented in cities around the state during the Fourth of July. From Bristol and Ashland to Raymond, Amherst, and Merrimack Joe got a great response everywhere he went.

Joe writes:

"The reason I am running for Governor can be summed up in one sentence:

'Time' Publishes Definitive Obama Puff Piece

NEW YORK—Hailed by media critics as the fluffiest, most toothless, and softest-hitting coverage of the presidential candidate to date, a story in this week's Time magazine is being called the definitive Barack Obama puff piece.

"No news publication has dared to barely scratch the surface like this before," columnist and campaign reporter Michael King wrote in The Washington Post Tuesday. "This profile sets a benchmark for mindless filler by which all other features about Sen. Obama will now be judged. Just impressive puff-journalism all around."

Charles Krauthammer writes in the SwampFox News:

Barack Obama wants to speak at the Brandenburg Gate. He figures it would be a nice backdrop. The supporting cast -- a cheering audience and a few fainting frauleins -- would be a picturesque way to bolster his foreign policy credentials.

Wesley Pruden offers a bit of reality in the Jewish World Review .

Al Gore picked a bad day to tout his global-warming scam. Just as he was telling an easily conned columnist for the Associated Press that Earthlings have just 10 years to get in line behind him to save the world from the frying pan, a consortium of 50,000 physicists conceded that maybe Al's evidence of man-made warming isn't so hot, after all.

We need true citizen representation in Congress
By JENNIFER HORN

CONGRESS is failing the American people, and the people know it. According to a recent Rasmussen poll only 9 percent of Americans approve of the job Congress is doing.

It's not hard to understand why. Gas prices continue to skyrocket, people are losing their homes and the economy is in disarray. Personal gain and political gamesmanship have replaced public service as motivation for serving in public office. Government no longer works for the people it was created to serve; special interests win over the average voter every day.

The Fed's Cure for"Nature Deficit Disorder"
in Our Kids

By Professor Allen Quist

July 15, 2008

Claiming to have the remedy for "nature deficit disorder," Congressional Democrats (along with some Republicans) are in the process of passing a new federal education program for all 50 states. The bill is called "No Child Left Inside" and is a major expansion of the federal education train-wreck, the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB).

The bill is H.R.3036 (S.1981); the chief author is Rep. John Sarbanes (D, MD), it recently passed the full House Education and Labor Committee and it now awaits action on the House floor. Essentially the bill allows Al Gore's followers to define much of what now passes for "education.".
