today's AP headline from the Concord Monitor
Yesterday's post below:
The corner of main street in Concord NH had one campaigner on one of four corners today. RON PAUL....
Why are the candidates and CSPAN, CNN, MSNBC,WMUR, and the supporters for Mitt Romney, Santorum and Huntsman expected to be in Nashua? They are mistakenly assuming that the ' Silicon Valley' of southern NH has undecided voters on their main streets. These cities/towns residents work in Massachusetts and pay a refundable income tax there. They left NH on Interstate 93 or Rt 3 by 6:30 this morning. They put their seat belts on as they drove over the border to a paying job. They are not frequenting diners and bakeries on a Monday morning.
The streets looked apocolyptic at 11:30 this morning void of a single Obama sign.....
The NH House of Legislature has mandated a session tomorrow when numerous Legislators are due at the polls.
This according to a current state Legislator whotold me that this has never happened in the history of this state on the day of the presidential primary.
And the Democrats must be held up somewhere in El Nino with all of the snow.
They are NOT occupying Main Street in Concord NH.

Jobs baby jobs ? adp/tar.gov?
I chuckle sometimes when I hear that a report stating that there were 300,000 less initial or new unemployment claims filed last week will preface a better headline in the near future based on statistical data gathered by adp.
First of all, at least in NH, days prior to to the first presidential primary, unemployment claims FILED #'s are NOT an accurate indication of job growth.
As of September 1 2011 New Hampshire Unemployment Department of Employment Security ment required all claims ot be filed online. A paper mill closes in a mill town and the entire unemployment office is closed. I have to meet a part time unemployment counselor at another local milltown's library where she is neither online nor provided an intranet password. Imagine a man or woman who worked in a factory since 1978 being told to file a claim online. Then enter a record of a thorough job search if you hope to receive any benefit payments. Not only do most people in these circumstances not have pc's OR Macinstosh ipads, they cannot afford a cell phone. If you are past the age of child bearing you also do not qualify or fall into the comcast lunch federal subsidy program flyers at your local unemployment office with big red number ten's. Ten dollars a month for internet access. Now imagine a person who does not go online. YEs, they do exist, and in higher proportions the more north you go, in towns where there is intensive campaigning today viewable on national television. They wait in line to reset a password ro log on to file said claim. Have you ever tried to fill out fields that take far too long or disappear when you do click next? A palstic red flag is then moved up in their cubicle. And the person that helped you earlier was just laid off from their very own part time position at unemployment. The number of claims being reported as new dropped because this is one example of a myriad of ways that filing a new claim is often delayed. Factor in two Federal holidays. Are we really going to boast this headline when the adp numbers are often generated by direct links on multiple companies 'careers' pages? All of the statistical data is 'optional' yet you will not successfully submit any application without completing the Gender, Ethnicity and Veteran's Status ending with disability. You MUST enter a full social security number, and the dates you completed any education, even if you obtained a GED in 1975 and worked in a factory since. Way to get around the age discrimination, finally, agree to a credit report, click submit, and the https//: now says ADP/GOV!!!!
Here you 'may' disclose how long you have been unemployed, if you or any member of your household is on TANF or receiving food stamps or heating assistance and for how long....
This is all before a human being reads a resume that you DO NOT know how to create.
ANd they are then told about all of the HELP at their local office..... Books and lists of resumes and cover letters... I peeked in the front covers.... ALL over 10 YEARS old. This is what we have here for resources in the very state which casts the FIRST BALLOTS.

LIST: get a JOB love, your dog
She says she needs some alone time...........
Christmas Eve I left my dog at home for the first time in a YEAR... and, I took a two hour bath...... elsewhere obviously as I have no shower still..
I was overly tired from worrying about my friend in Lenox Hospital, after this bath. I was in no rush to get home. I cannot be hostage to my phone anylonger. It was worse when I had a cell phone too....Now I have no peace at home..
I needed a six hour reprieve from this what I hope is my dear friend's final bottom....She was removed twice from her child's school, now from her son entirely leaving her elderly mother to be the primary caregiver. I have been on 911 phone duty for the last five years and am sick of it. My friend has beeng one for so long, her mother and I developed a bond years ago in the city though I met them both in Western MA, we always went to Straight 12 at 12th St Sat nights and to the Strand afterwards, when she was less frail. She is now responsible for getting her 7 year old grandson to his school on the upper west side from low on Second Avenue ALONE as of the day before Christmas Eve. And I have empathized and tried to help for 10 years..... Her daughter and I were 'best' friends after my relapse when SHE had 10 years and I had nips and stench.... Her mom has been keeping the CPS in NYC at bay for far too long....She lied to her brothers and confided the truth only in me for the last 5 years about her daughter's condition thinking this would help her Grandson.... COME ON!!! She needs to be in meetings. OR if in the turmoil and anger with the disease get to alanon to start. I cannot listen to the darkness anymore, she is sounding suicidal herself yet it is up to her daughter not HER worrying or trotting balance bars and diet soda to yet another 'stabilization center' at Lenox Hopsital detox. She has understandably questioned the existence of a higher power but has used me as a confidant while enabling her daughter and not being honest with the folks at this supposedly wonderful in the eighties Smithers program her daughter has been at. Once the portable urine adn the flask is exposed, a cab driver calls the NYPD b/c she is unresponsive to her 7 year old son, and I am desensitized to this now, it has just been a heartwrenching never ending relapse and I AM praying and meditating for understanding and acceptance that she may not get better... I am struggling with this kind of non parent survival guilt. My chronic inebriation seems so distant a memory sometimes and yet it is never forgoteen, the truth of the real kind of disgusting drunk that I am if I ingest it.... And to today I still feel this kind of 'I am a sneak' feeling about cops...... I mean driving by one with 15 YEARS of sobreity my palms still sweat a little ....
Christmas eve I got home at near midnight, and there is a business card on my door?
The Boscawen cops.... says " Your door was wide open- dog was out. Please call" I was horrified not only is my goodamned door still broken but my dog looks neglected, and it is now NINE DEGREES INSIDE my apartment.... I am NOT exaggerating or kidding... It is now back to 55 in here for the love of GOD....Ginger my 11 year old German Shepherd dog,played it to the nines;-) We have not been physically separated since I lost my job. She is so sick of me she is like licking her paw like a dog would look at their wrist watch
" PLEASE get a gd j o b so I need ALONE TIME!"
Clearly she was reaching OUT leaving this door open, knowing she is NOT supposed to open the door, on the coldest night of the year while we have not actual heating system... Sympathy seeking dog with a recovering mother playing up the cops.... FINE go work for them bitch...voeu don't hav to live here if it's sooooo bad that you were left at home for 6 hours once in the past YEAH... that's riiiieeeght
