If only the government didn't have competition, it would do better? Try another one.

Serious question: Are "severe dizziness, weakness, and exceptionally high heart rates" THC symptoms? There might have been other bad stuff in the ice cream as well.

Welcome to Conway. No doughnut pictures or sex ed books allowed.

It's all my fault. The first time I drove from NH to Michigan, I came home to a flooded basement. The second time, the Old Man of the Mountains collapsed. For the safety of the world, I'm never driving to Michigan again.

"Asked what the officers should have done instead, Mone told investigators, 'I don’t have an answer for that.'"

That wasn't even a hard question. The right answer is "Nothing."

Put "libertarians" in quotation marks. (Likewise with the LPNH.)

We don't necessarily have all the facts here, but Sorens certainly appears to be ignoring the free speech principles he supposedly lives by.

Nice try.

Snopes says, "No valid reason exists to suppose that 'jimmies' carries a racist meaning or had a racially-charged origin. However, it's difficult to definitively disprove the claim because the term's entry into the English language is downright murky."

But it's such fun to feel superior by making invented claims of racism.

I call them sprinkles.

One of the restaurant chains, I forget if it was Brigham's or Friendly's, said in their menus that it was because some mother made them for her son Jimmy's birthday. It never sounded plausible to me that the name would have spread from one party, and I suspect they printed the story only because it sounded cute.

I used to live in Hollis. The people there are the worst.

I have no idea what Footloose is or was, and I have no motivation to research it just to figure out what your point is there. But thanks for linking to the bill itself. Neither upvoting nor downvoting.

Figuring out what a bill like this says is complicated, with its negations of negations (typical of bills changing existing RSAs). As I read it, it would remove a protection from schools below the higher-education level, subjecting them more easily to obscenity charges. Given the current atmosphere of gratuitous obscenity claims, it's a bad bill.

Please, next time, don't assume people know all your cultural references.

Heavy and wet in Plaistow earlier this morning. It's looking more like normal snow now.

You've forgotten that under a rule invented by the courts, everything within a hundred miles of an international border or the seacoast is a "border zone." The entire state is in the border zone.

The CBP has used this to set up checkpoints all over the White Mountains and harass people. That's what Sununu is helping to fund, not just patrols in Pittsburg.

The first Free Stater. (That should get everybody mad at me, but she was.)

Is there any evidence that the people who climbed Mt. Washington alone in bad weather, went water skiing in January in the middle of the night, etc., did so because they valued freedom?

It could also have been an unsecured heavy object. This is the first I've ever heard of an in-air death from turbulence, and it makes me wonder.

"Nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation." — US Bill of Rights

The article says the chaperones took the passports and put them in a safe deposit box. If they did that, it makes less sense than ever that they were destroyed.

Still waiting for his "Snowmageddon."

"Snowmageddon" was a bust. I'll go back to real weather forecasts, thank you.

The race-obsessed statist crowd loves to erase Thomas Sowell, Walter Williams, and other libertarians whose skins are too dark for them.

Funny how the anti-freedom crowd loves the word "carpetbagger," devised by the white supremacist crowd to disparage people who got in the way of their comfy status quo. Says a lot about you.

Moonlite has been there for a long time. I once testified there against a proposed ordinance putting a nonsensical set of location restrictions on stores that sell videos that "constitute sexual conduct." The ordinance passed but the store evidently survived. The thought of a DVD being sexual conduct is weird.

I can't reliably tell a hare from a rabbit, but there were lots of them, hares I think, when I lived in Kingston.

I can thing of no excuse at all for your being a bitter gremlin.

Translation: "I want somebody else's money."
