New Hampshire Paper Won't Run Gay Marriage Announcement

Gay marriage is legal in New Hampshire, but that doesn't mean all nuptials are treated equally. The state's largest newspaper, the Union Leader, has refused to print a newlywed couple's announcement simply because they're gay. The decision was not an oversight but a political decision, according to publisher Joseph W. McQuaid, who said: This newspaper has never published wedding or engagement Read more

Cool Idea: A Boat Garage

I spotted this photograph, shot by James R. Salomon, of a home on Squaw Lake, NH, and turned green with envy. Not only do these homeowners have a lake as their backyard, but they have a garage for their boats actually attached to their home. Maybe I'm not familiar enough with waterfront homes, but this seems really extraordinary. And if you hold your hand up to block the water, the house looks Read more

It's a 222.5-pound meatball that emerged over the weekend, blowing all other past meatball records out of the water.

New Hampshire State Representative Misses 16 Months

Imagine you get an awesome new job. Now imagine right after you accept, you're plagued by a bad knee, a break up, a little depression. . . you might take a sick day or two, right?

Debate Rebate: Repubs Rock 'Em Sock 'Em

In the Granite State. It's New Hampshire, baby! Double the debates! Two, two, two parties on one night!!!

Six candidates: McCain, Thompson, Giuliani, Romney, Paul, and Huckabee, sat down with moderator (more or less) Charlie Gibson to dish the dirt. Here are the highlights: Well, if they Read more

Debate Rebate: Change Overload

And then there were four. This weekend's New Hampshire debate did a so-so job revealing nuanced differences between the leading Dems. Looks like "change" is the buzz word of the campaign. Whatever happened to experience? By the time I turned off the TV, I thought I was going to scream if I heard someone say change one more time. Other than the obsession with cornering the change market, here Read more
