• Welcome to my VeryContrary visitors!

  My beloved has mentioned me in her blog, which will bring scores of new readers here, all of whom will no doubt wonder why I haven't posted since April. The answer is simple: my last entry, a reply to our friend Mrs. Chili , was such a thing of beauty Read More...

• Upon calm reflection

  As the father of young adults who are of college age and too-soon-to-be (20, 17, 16, 12 and 4), I watched with horror as events unfolded this week on the campus of Virginia Tech. My solemn prayers are with the families of the dead and wounded, and with Read More... Posted Friday, April 20, 2007 10:23 PM by KBCraig | 7 Comments Filed under: In the News, Political

• They prove my point

  Wasn't I just talking about unintended consequences, and how laws, strictly applied, can result in the furthest thing from justice?

• Constituent service

  One of the things I love about the New Hampshire system of government is the ease with which elected officials can be approached. Their responses are generally open and forthright, and almost always polite, even when they disagree with their correspondents. Read More...

• "Knock-knock!"

  "Who's there?" If you get the chance to ask, then the knock at your door is probably not courtesy of the local drug task force. For the record: I am a law enforcement officer. I despise that terminology, and greatly prefer "peace officer", Read More... Posted Wednesday, November 29, 2006 9:40 PM by KBCraig | 0 Comments Filed under: In the News, Political

• This is not an election analysis... yet!

  Whew, what an election cycle! I previously wrote about a young man named Tyler Stearns , who has impressed me with his maturity, drive, and political wisdom. While Tyler didn't win, he came darn close. He trailed the winner by only 90 votes, and even Read More... Posted Friday, November 10, 2006 6:57 PM by KBCraig | 1 Comments Filed under: Political

• A man worth voting for

  Following NH politics, I've been very impressed with a young man running for state representative from Grafton County, District 4 (Thornton/Woodstock). Not only does he express himself very well, he's obviously thought out the issues and knows Read More...
