Ticked Off at New Hampshire Post

Just warning you:

"N.H. residents advised to guard against ticks

New Hampshire health officials said there have been fewer cases of Lyme disease in recent years, down from a high in 2008, but people should still take precautions to prevent being bitten by ticks. There were 1,301 cases of Lyme disease identified in the state in 2011 and 1,460 in 2012. There were 1,600 cases in 2008. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said there were 24,364 cases of Lyme disease nationally in 2011, which is down from a high of nearly 30,000 in 2009. Lyme disease is transmitted by the bite of an infected deer tick. Symptoms include fever, headache, fatigue, and a skin rash that is round or looks like a bull’s-eye."

"Leaders praise N.H.’s fallen soldiers

New Hampshire’s elected leaders offered gratitude Thursday for the men and women who died while serving in the nation’s armed forces. Governor Maggie Hassan joined members of the state’s congressional delegation at an outdoor Memorial Day ceremony that drew hundreds of veterans and their families to the New Hampshire State Veterans Cemetery. The governor said the people of New Hampshire are deeply indebted to all who gave the ‘‘ultimate sacrifice’’ for their country, including more than 40 New Hampshire soldiers who died in Iraq and Afghanistan."

Oh, yeah, war dead over damnable lies always pisses me off more than anything else, including banksters.
