Don’t Shoot the Messenger

Monday, April 19, 2010 — As objective journalists we are prohibited by law and custom from taking sides on any issue. That having been said we confess to harboring the hope that this day will pass without any extraordinary expressions of patriotism from the confused. Also, we send out a salute across the centuries to Isaiah Thomas, who was once an apprentice to Daniel Fowle‘s peculiar brother Zechariah (See 1775). 2004—A government spokesman reveals that NORAD had run a training exercise based on a hijacked airliner crashing into a building. 1995—RIP 168 souls in Oklahoma City. 1993—For the good of the children, who end up …

The Return of Father Coughlin

Friday, April 16, 2010 — While rummaging around in the archives recently we came across our little collection of Father Coughlin’s rag, Social Justice; we’ve got eight copies, all published in 1941. It was gratifying to rediscover them, given Father Coughlin’s recent reincarnation. We spent an hour or two trying to read some of this drivel. It was a waste of time, so we gave it up. We hope that whoever may be running the Gazette in 2078 will have the sense to do the same if they should come across a transcript of Glenn Beck’s program.

The Forty-Second Hate

Interesting times. Just to stay in step, we’ll post this phone message we received a few months ago from a dissatisfied reader. It’s followed by our transcription, but we recommend listening, too. Otherwise you’ll miss the full flavor. [audio:https://www.nhgazette.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/ThankGod.mp3|titles=ThankGod] Yea I’ll talk to the machine after the beep. Listen you liberal scumbag, you anti-American, pot-smokin’, Volvo-drivin’, …

And here’s another surprise — we’ve finally gotten around to updating our free download page. Five additional papers are now available, and that department is up-to-date for a change.

Communists and Socialists in the White House

Monday, August 31, 2009 — Well, folks, it looks like, in the interests of honesty and truth in advertising, it’s time to paint the White House red. At Saturday’s Town Hall on Health Care, the aptly-named Diane Bitter, who according to the Portsmouth Herald is “of the Rye Republican Committee,” expressed her view that the country is being run by un-elected Communist and Socialist Czars in the White House. At about :42, as Ms. Bitter explains how these evil-doers are “creating a shadow government that will control the power and the money,” there’s a lucid catcall from the audience, to which Ms. Bitter responds. Rep. …
