We have both state and local property taxes. We fund education via the state property tax.

Yeah, well, if you stopped sending all your malcontents to NH, it would help. Angry wingnuts from MA move to southern NH and run for the NH legislature, which is one reason it’s filled with so many nutcases.

Nah. We’re the Texas of New England.

We also have huge property taxes.

Your assumption is incorrect. NH has no state income tax, and no sales tax. The revenue from the state liquor stores helps fund our state government.

As always, Jezebel screws up NH stories. The bartenders guides were NOT purchased to be sold to customers. They were bought as reference guides for employees. In NH, the liquor stores are state run. That means that these are state employees who didn’t seem to think that they should be required by the state to discuss…

Mumsy Stodden is just miffed that she didn’t hold out for a higher bidder.

Ah, the Scottish play.

Thanks. It was a long time ago....and it all came back this week because of Owen Labrie. I am just so angry.

#NotAllBoomers I was gang raped at 16 by bikers - part of a Hell’s Angels initiation. I knew them. Two of them were friends of mine. They invited me to party, and I did - because that’s what we did in the 1970s. They beat me up, and one of them stood guard so that I couldn’t get away. They threatened to kill me if I…

Isn’t the guy who needs a kidney suffering enough without threatening him with a pair of hideous shoes?

Keeping your clothes on is a good idea.

I was at a funeral with my husband for someone neither of us knew, but it was a work thing. About midway through the Catholic service, the coffin was wheeled in, and everyone turned around to see what was going on - and they all looked surprised. My husband whispered to me, “Didn’t they know he was coming?” We both…

I live in the town next door to where it happened. The coverage has been disgusting. There were reporters live tweeting from the courtroom. It’s been a week of nauseating news.

Amen. I’m glad you’re okay. My rape was 44 years ago, and today I am so very angry.

If that was supposed to cheer me, it failed.

You were raped. I was, too. I was gang raped when I was about a year older than this girl.

It’s as if the universe wants me to hate men today.

From thug to nerd. This is why you hire Whitey Bulger’s lawyer.

In case anyone is wondering: THIS, THIS is why women don’t report rapes.
