  • Farewell Davy Crockett

    Maggie's Farm

    Number of comments: 1

    Fess Parker died today at 85.  If you want to hear the ballad of Davy Crockett that had a generation of boys wearing coon skin caps, the Washington Post has that video. I have a VHS of the original Davy Crockett: King of the Wild Frontier that started [...]

  • Dr. Lucian Leape On Transparency and Public Reporting

Of the three, he writes that public reporting has the greatest impact [...]

  • Scholarship Telethon: $62,731 so far

    Dracut Forum

    One more night to go.

    Tonight’s show had the Drama chorus and DICED!, which were pretty cool.

    I don’t have any clips for tonite (I was at a regional school meeting in Tyngsboro), but tomorrow is the big ending.

    They hope to hit at least $100,000.00. Pull out your wallets, its time..

  • Time to primary spineless South Boston DINO

    Blue Mass. Group

    Simply incredible, Steven Lynch has decided to vote against the largest expansion to the American social safety net since the enactment of Social Security.  Lynch has chosen the side of political cowardliness rather than to demonstrate real leadership in providing equitable health coverage to millions of Americans who desperately need [...]

  • The Real Score Starts To Emerge

    Maggie's Farm

    Number of comments: 3

    The Democrats are exultant over the preliminary CBO score (preliminary because even the Congressional Budget Office hasn’t had time to examine whether it jives with the previous Senate bill) issued this morning. The score (costing) is on the Democrats’ reconciliation adjustments to the Senate ObamaCare bill that it remains [...]

  • Nope, Nothing To See Here

    No Looking Backwards

    I'm sure the timing on this was purely coincidental, just like it was when Obama nominated the brother of a Congressman (coincidentally, one who was "undecided" on Obamacare) to a federal judgeship.

    These could all be coincidences.

    You know, like I could start generating my own electricity' [...]

  • QQQ's on persistence

    Maggie's Farm

    Number of comments: 5

    When I was in high school, our Headmaster never praised intelligence in his homilies on God and life in daily Chapel, but he did praise what he called "stick-to-it-iveness" and "going the extra mile" all the time. I thought "banal nostrums" at the time, but now I know better -


    In [...]

  • Enemies of the People

    No Looking Backwards

    Both of New Hampshire representatives in Congress made it clear today that placating the unconstitutional, authoritarian whims of Nancy Pelosi, Barack Obama, and Harry Reid is of greater importance to them than representing the People of New Hampshire.

    The Hill reports:

    Democrats shot down a Republican effort [...]

    Number of comments: 3

    Via Surber:


    On Monday, after heavy rains, Gore held a teleconference to leap on the rain as proof of Apocalypse and Armaggedon: “Just look at what has been happening for the last three days. The so-called skeptics haven’t noted it because it’s not snow. But the downpours and heavy [...]

    "Well, a lot of those folks, your employer it's estimated would see premiums fall by as much as 3,000 percent [sic], which means they could give you a raise."- President Obama in Strongville Ohio, March 15, as quoted on the White House Web site.

    (an email to friends, September '00)

    Howdy, all —

  • Patrick and labor, in context

    Blue Mass. Group

    For all that's been said about Gov. Patrick and his strained relationship to labor groups, I thought I'd point out the specific points of conflict that I'm aware of:

    Police:

    He's angered police unions over paid details at construction sites, an expense which no other state requires.He cut the Quinn bill, [...]
