Sports: American Defenders no longer allowed to play baseball

  • No, really. The American Defenders didn’t pay rent. The mayor of Nashua, New Hampshire has decided to call out the minor league baseball team on its inability to pay rent by locking the doors of their home field and putting a freaking tractor on home plate so that they literally can’t play. The team, which received a notice of default on Friday, owes $45,000 in rent and fees for police and fire services. To prove that the city has no heart in a bad economy, we must point out that proceeds from last night’s game would have benefited the American Heart Association. How considerate of them. source

Culture: J.D. Salinger FINALLY comes out of hiding … to file a lawsuit

  • There’s no more to Holden Caulfield. Read the book again. It’s all there. Holden Caulfield is only a frozen moment in time.
  • A 1980 quote from J.D. Salinger • Referred to in his lawsuit against the producers of “60 Years Later: Coming Through the Rye,” a book that brings Holden Caulfield into the present day. The producers of the book, which is authored by “J.D. California,” also make lots and lots of joke books. Salinger, based in New Hampshire, has successfully avoided the spotlight since last publishing in 1965. May we just point out – gay marriage legal in NH on the same day NH’s most famous recluse returns to the public eye? Clearly not a coincidence. • source

U.S.: Lots of tide-turning news on the gay marriage front

  • two Nearby New Hampshire is right behind with legislation, but faces a tougher battle in the form of an undecided governor who has yet to sign the bill.
  • three All this momentum is looking good for pro-gay-marriage activists in California, who will likely try to get Prop. 8 overturned in 2010.
