I Hate To Make Fun But........

How long will it be before dolphins are walking around New Hampshire on their newfangled and newly “re-evolved” legs/fins?

Inquiring minds want to know.

When they hit the beaches will we have a NH Fish and Game season and bag limits on them come hunting season?

Are they fish or game?

Do they taste like chicken or Chicken of the Sea?

This week, “scientists” captured a bottle-nosed dolphin that has an extra set of fins that “scientists” think are remnants of legs they had 50 million years ago when they were “dogs”.

This gets better – and even more politically correct!

Now “scientists” surmise the extra fins/legs are showing up because of POLLUTION in the sea – caused by man. Dolphins must read Drudge as well.

Just a few days ago a group of “scientists” released a stunning finding that in 50 years the sea would be devoid of life – because of pollution by man.

So naturally, the dolphins reading this immediately started the long struggle (read evolution) to grow legs and walk on land again. This took less than a week!

Maybe “the science of evolution” has "evolved". Or have federal research grants become just too hard to acquire without a Chicken Little – Chicken of the Sea scenario?

Could it be a new form of evolution that has “evolved” animals devolving back into what they were before they evolved in the first place. Will the dolphins still “eco-barkate” when the devolve back into dogs?

Only “science” will tell.

Love Those Hate Crimes

If a hate crime is a crime, what is a hateful crime of committing a hate crime?

Will some liberal out there please explain this to me.

An out-of-state college student, Breanne Coventry Snell, of Midlothian, Va. A “student”at The University of New Hampshire been charged with three misdemeanors for falsely reporting an "anti-Semitic attack" on her person this October by several men one of which is on the UNH football team.

I don't like “hate crimes” because they are pretty much political crimes that hatch inside the head of the individual who is alleged to have committed them, which means you can not prove “intent” very easily. If an actual crime was committed, that is easily seen and should have evidence to back it up.

Then, all of a sudden, along comes Breanne Coventry Snell, looking for either a little pay-back against someone or cheap press in reporting the fake assault against her - a provable hate crime.

So we know she knows what a hate crime is, for one, if she made the story up.

UNH student Breanne Coventry Snell allegedly took an action she knew to be illegal and which she knew would cause harm to her “targets” by causing them to be charged with assault AND a hate crime. So it stands to reason she must be a “hater” to do something calculated, hateful, and sinister as this.

Has Breanne created a “Hateful Hate Crime” or a “Hate Crime Squared”?

Could Breanne Coventry Snell have broken new ground and become a “Habitual Hateful Hate Crime Offender”?

Apparently, Breanne, a professional college student, has a history of doing this in other schools such as U. Maine and Virginia Commonwealth University. Nice.

The sentence for her serial hateful hate crime offense should be the maximum of what she accused the poor students of doing – times two.

Guess Who'll Be Playing Ketchup For the Next Seven Days

Good for US Senator John Kerry to tell it like it is.

He was at a college talking about education and told the assembled students that if you don't go to school and work hard you would wind up “stuck in Iraq”.

History proves him right. Lets use the good Senator as an example. He and George Bush both went to Yale and George Bush got the better grades. So off to Viet Nam with Kerry and you know the rest of the story where George Bush became President and spanked John Kerry in a landslide win on 04. That was the election that was all about Iraq. No wonder Senator Kerry feels that only stupid people get sent into combat. (Just kidding.)

Actually, Senator Kerry is just spouting off again and revealing his penchant for letting his real feelings shine through. He has a long history of disrespecting US troops in the field. In fact, he has built his political career on it. With the War on Terrorism including a “quagmire” in Iraq, a medical condition known as “Post Demagogue Stress Syndrome” has taken hold of the former professional protester and social climber.

You have to admire several things about this Democrat “October Surprise”.

Senator Kerry's timing is about as perfect as you can get - election wise, for Republicans. Now they can all remember why just two years ago they voted against this character in record numbers.

And another reason to love Senator “Irish-French” John Kerry is his tunnel Brahman vision.

You see, Senator Kerry is a MASSACHUSETTS Senator who serves with the likes of Ted Kennedy and Barney Frank. He campaigns like a Massachusetts politician and forgets that there is a lot of territory between Boston and Hollywood real people actually live in.

Many people who live in America (one of the many countries where US Senator Kerry has a mansion) have relatives who volunteered for military service and are in combat right now. Too many, as is always the case, have spouses or a parent who have lost their lives defending out country. And even though Senator Kerry thinks these commoners who get stuck in the military are not the best and brightest like himself and his trust fund friends, they are certainly smart enough to know when they have been disrespected. Again.

So don't apologize Senator Kerry. Keep acting like you are running for re-election in your jerry-mandered home state where this plays well. Don't back down from your ever evolving description of what you would like people to think you meant when you let the real John Kerry slip out. Again.

And PLEASE come back to New Hampshire soon and campaign for your two rubber stamp candidates Paul Hodes and Carol Shea-Porter.

Please!!!!!

Quiet Struggle In NH Woodlands

I meant to write this a few weeks ago so people could see for themselves but I missed the perfect timing end of it. Here goes anyway.

As I drive into Concord more often than I used to before I got involved in the almost senseless world of politics I have not taken my eye off what is going on around me.

Along Rt. 89 heading into Concord the right of way edges leading up to the tree line are showing an amazing new development - chestnut saplings, lots of them.

Chestnut trees started dying at an amazing rate once the Chestnut “Blight” was found in NY in 1904. It was once a majestic tree that produced large amounts of nuts and light, strong, highly prized wood.

I used to top very large high quality trees like walnut and white oak in Pa. for a log-buyer named Ed Ray who was born in 1900. He remembered chestnuts in their prime and as we drove from one job to another he would point out patches of woods he had logged in the 30's and 40's and describe what trees where there then. Ed could still show me “seed trees” they left behind. Once we even stumbled across a large stack of chestnut lumber still in a barn after being air dried for ages. It was beautiful lumber which had never been edged and some still had the bark on.

Years ago I would spot a chestnut sapling or even a small tree and grab a few leaves off of it to hang around the office or barn just to look at. But this year I noticed there were saplings almost every few yards for about a mile out from Concord. They are easy to spot because the leaves are oval with teeth in the sides and about 7-10 inches long. They are bright yellow in the fall. The nuts, with husks on, look just like sea urchins covered with spines. I found some small deformed chestnuts in Pa. once while turkey hunting on an old strip mined ridge.

Imagine a tree that once dominated our forests being completely wiped out, which then for fifty years grows back from ancient stumps only to die back over and over and over again without ever living long enough to produce nuts or seeds. I think its amazing.

There may come a day they re-populate our forests. That would be good for New Hampshire.

A Plug For My Candidate

Just wanted to let everyone know that Democrat Congressman William Jefferson of Louisiana has, according to a recent Loyola University New Orleans poll, a five point lead in his quest for re-election!!!

This is fabulous news for Democrats in their national campaign to Clean Up Congress and Vote For ChangeEvery seat counts and our good friend Rep. Jefferson is not about to let taking $90,000.00 in marked bills from the FBI in a bribery sting let him stop representing the good Democrats in his district. No sir! Tapes or no tapes he is progressively “moving forward together” with all the Democrats.

As I sit and watch Republican pundits try to justify why they should be allowed to retain control of Congress I always tun to our good old Democrat friend Rep. William Jefferson. Just because Republican spokesmen are afraid to mention how steadfast Rep. Jefferson is in his desire to work with other Democrats to “fix” our country, it doesn't mean I can't bring it up.

I for one am proud of him! So he is on tape taking a bribe. At least he GOT something out of the deal. Republican Congressman Foley chickened out and quit over a sex scandal where he didn't even have sex! Bill Clinton wouldn't stand for that and neither would Gerry Studds or Barney Frank. Sure, Senator Torricelli did take a powder for getting a few goodies like jewelry and such, we can't all be perfect.

So run Representative Jefferson run!

And this November 7, I call on all voters to join with Democrats and - Vote For Change – or I mean, More Of The Same. Or wait, no change. I'm so confused.
