NOTE: In New Hampshire elections Diebold electronic vote counting machines handle 84% of the ballot count. Despite citizen requests, the legislature and the Secretary of State have thus far both declined to institute any procedural or legal checks on Diebold technology or its vote counts in New Hampshire.

I missed this entirely. While they were in Sweden, I must have been at the beach. From the Portsmouth Herald a week ago Sunday, a nice article about Burt Cohen and Skye Maher, Portsmouth residents who attended the International Eco-municipality Conference in Sweden last month. Cohen and Maher are also organizers of the Piscataqua Sustainability [...]...

Barack Obama was in NH this weekend. I didn’t go to see him. The beauty of covering the NH primary is that there really aren’t any big crowds until the very end. And I’m not crazy about crowds. Especially the smitten variety. It was a mob scene everywhere the junior senator from Illinois went. His book signing in Portsmouth jammed the Frank Jones Center, a largish convention hall...

As I write this from my expensive bunker in the decaying Gulf Coast city where I brood and make easy money until my trip to the New Hampshire Primary, the smell of crap wafts through my windows again. For some reason, probably connected to some sleazy, backroom deal, the sellout burghers of Pensacola built the city’s turd plant downtown. Close enough (they erroneously calculated) near th...

Tacoma, WA - I cam out tonight to celebrate the one year anniversary of BTB as a political journalist. It was exactly July 2, 2007 when I drove from Quabbin Qountry, MA to Laconia, NH in order to watch then-underdog Barack Obama address a crowd of 350. That rally was my maiden voyage toward reporting what actually happened in politics; and what would be a first step down what has become a fairly ...

I had the good fortune to attend part of the UNH Energy Conference, held June 20-21 at the UNH Durham campus. I went there not for purposes of work or networking, but simply to learn about more geeky energy stuff. I was not disappointed, and judging by the reactions and enthusiasm I saw, I believe the other [...]...
