Mon, 07 Dec 2009 08:57:41 -0500

Granite State Pundit: Peggy Noonan believes President Obama redeclared ...

Mon, 07 Dec 2009 08:10:00 -0500

Peggy Noonan believes President Obama redeclared war in his speech about the 'surge' in Afghanistan. If so, he did not generate much warlike enthusiasm from anyone. That is almost certainly due to the fact that the folks on the Right do not trust him to follow through, the folks [...]

Blue Hampshire: Open Thread: A Crow Shook Down on Me

Mon, 07 Dec 2009 06:12:25 -0500

The Poet:The way a crow
Shook down on me
The dust of snow
From a hemlock tree
Has given my heart
A change of mood
And saved some part
Of a day I had rued.This is an Open Thread.

Blue Hampshire: BassMaster Gets His Wingnut On

Mon, 07 Dec 2009 05:59:07 -0500

Fairly transparent attempt from Charlie Bass to dig into Jennifer Horn's base by getting his full wingnut on in Nashua's biggest paper:This is about giving a brutal terrorist an international stage to communicate with and energize al-Qaeda sects all over the world. It's about focusing the attention of suicidal' [...]

Joe's Dartblog: Pearl Harbor Day

Mon, 07 Dec 2009 00:00:26 -0500

My uncle Richard went on a joyride in someone else's car when he was 16, got caught, and as family lore has it, the judge told him that he would do time unless he returned to the courtroom with enlistment papers signed by his mother --' [...]

Little Green Blog: Nat Turner: Martyr or Murderer

Mon, 07 Dec 2009 00:00:00 -0500

In the past few weeks, I’ve done a good deal of reading about slave revolts. In particular, I enjoyed reading accounts of Nat Turner’s revolts. In the course of the revolt, he killed civilians including women or children. So is he a hero or villain...

To read the rest [...]

Little Green Blog: Finals... Not the End of the World

Sun, 06 Dec 2009 23:50:00 -0500

Ah, final exams. Everyone loves them and everyone can't get enough of them and they're just great, aren't they? The professors are whistling through the halls at the thought of not having to grade any more papers, the students are out of their minds at the thought of having to' [...]

Blue Hampshire: "Ms. Palin Helped"

Sun, 06 Dec 2009 21:09:32 -0500

This John H. Sununu interview, all the way from Malta, is, um, amazing:"There's no question that in the last election there was an anti-administration feeling among the electorate and it was complicated by the fact that Senator John McCain made himself famous by being the anti-Republican Republican."

Mr Sununu, who [...]

Blue Hampshire: Afghanistan, Trust, and the New Hampshire Primary

Sun, 06 Dec 2009 20:40:33 -0500

This will surprise some of you, since it goes against the grain of many clear-thinking and prescient voices on this site, as well as some of our Democratic candidates and officeholders. Here goes (deep breath):

I support the President's policy in Afghanistan.

Based on a number of conversations, including a key one [...]

It's a little easier to understand why a Houston man who claimed to have thwarted a potential terrorist attack on a flight leaving Atlanta has not answered repeated requests to tell his story.

GraniteGrok: Climate Scientists - a hysterically funny bunch?

Sun, 06 Dec 2009 20:00:17 -0500

CPAs are often portrayed as little men sitting at high accounting desks (think Scrooge) with green eyeshades and black bands around their arms - and not funny. Sometimes, scientists are right up there (down?) with having no sense of humor either. Stereotypical, to be sure.

However, sometimes it is warranted; [...]

Blue Hampshire: Why They'll Stay Home in November

Sun, 06 Dec 2009 19:39:18 -0500

In the space of forty-eight hours I came across two people in my community - one living here in New Hampshire - whose lack of health insurance, and the circumstances they recently find themselves in, will have a profoundly negative impact on their pursuit of happiness for years to come.

Democracy for New Hampshire: The priorities of a failed state: War and banksters over healthcare and homes

Sun, 06 Dec 2009 18:29:29 -0500

In a failed state, the government’s priorities are totally separate from those of the people. The US can’t afford health care or a bailout for jobless homeowners, but it can afford a pointless war and multi-million dollar bonuses for banksters who wrecked the economy.
