Good idea

Thursday, February 18, 2010

Susan Byziewicz writes to me today (did she write to you too? what a coincidence!) that she will bring a declaratory action to determine whether she is qualified to be attorney general. This is good news. I’d actually toyed with the idea of trying to sign up some lawyer friends to team up and bring […]

It’s time for him to go

Thursday, February 18, 2010

I greatly respect Chris Dodd for all he’s done, but I must say that it’s apparent that his time has passed, and we can be thankful that he has stepped aside. If I’d had any doubts, and I hadn’t, this interview, in which he says that the filibuster rule should not be changed, would have […]

A word about some words

Wednesday, February 17, 2010

Recently, Sarah Palin feigned outrage at the fact that Rahm Emmanuel called the people that elected his boss into office “fucking retards”. Naturally, neither she or anyone else objected to the insult to people who were only asking that Obama fulfill his promises; rather, her faux anger was voiced on behalf of the mentally retarded, […]

Holiday Pictures

Monday, February 15, 2010

This is a holiday, so I refuse to spend my day venting against the Democrats, such as Evan Bayh, who seems to be determined to wreak maximum damage before he leaves. I can only say, good riddance to him. If we play our cards right, we can be the minority party in the Senate, and […]

The Norwich chapter of the NAACP is celebrating the 100th anniversary of that organization on Tuesday. The event will be held at the Kelly Middle School, 25 Mahan Drive, in Norwich. From the group’s flyer: The Guest Speaker for the event will be United States Congressman and Chairman of the Judiciary, John Conyers Jr. Other […]

Read Frank Rich

Sunday, February 14, 2010

I tend to doubt that Sarah Palin marked up her hands just to attract incoming liberal fire, and I really don’t believe Rich is serious on that point, but the rest of his analysis of the current situation is absolutely spot on. He makes the point that the Republicans have skillfully, if mendaciously, cast themselves […]

Easy for you to say

Friday, February 12, 2010

As least several times a week I get spam comments, which I must consign to perdition. I don’t know how they are generated, whether by live person or by computer. I normally just delete them, but this one I have to promote, since it appears, to the best of my ability to understand it, to […]

The Times legitimizes idiocy

Thursday, February 11, 2010

The New York Time has a lot to answer for. Back in 2002 and 2003, it helped legitimize the Bush Administration’s push to war, running a series of poorly sourced and mendacious articles. The sources for the articles were mainly Bush administration creatures, who then used the Times articles as proof that the lies they […]
