Horrible

Friday, December 14, 2012

The tragedy in Newtown is very much on our minds. Already the usual suspects are trotting out their right wing memes to divert attention from our lax gun laws. Rational people can only grieve, and those of us who are parents can imagine, even if we can’t truly feel, the unbearable anguish of the parents […]

Apple loses its way

Friday, September 21, 2012

Apparently Apple is having some problems with its new mapping software: …Maps is so bad as to have created an entire tumblr dedicated to its awfulness, and the London Underground is offering assistance to the suddenly lost. My wife and I had a first hand experience of the awfulness today. We were driving up to […]

Schadenfreude

Tuesday, September 18, 2012

Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy. A palpably gloomy and openly frustrated mood has begun to creep into Mr. Romney’s campaign for president. Well practiced in the art of lurching from public relations crisis to public relations crisis, his team seemed to reach its limit as it digested a ubiquitous set of video clips that […]

Friday Night Music

Friday, August 24, 2012

A few weeks ago I wrote a post about an art exhibit in Vermont featuring portraits of rock stars that died at the age of 27, which included the likes of Jim Morrison, Brian Jones, Amy Weinhouse, and a host of others. Last week I saw this video here, featuring another singer that died young, […]

Top 20

Sunday, July 29, 2012

A few days ago the Apple blogs to which I go were abuzz about the fact that Time magazine chose Steve Jobs as one of the 20 most influential Americans of all time. Apparently, the criteria excluded those whose influence was evil (e.g., Rush Limbaugh, who would otherwise be right up there). Of course, this […]

Chris Murphy coming to Drinking Liberally

Tuesday, July 3, 2012

I’m told that Chris Murphy will be coming to our next Drinking Liberally get together. If you’re a regular or semi-regular, don’t miss it. As always, newcomers, provided they’re liberal (or actually, merely not-Republican). are always welcome. Time and Place: Dev’s on Bank, 345 Bank Street, New London, at 6:30 PM.

Romney’s base reveals itself

Tuesday, March 20, 2012

Public Policy Polling has released the results of a new poll, in which some questions are asked about Romney’s treatment of dogs. The questions appear to be asked in the right order; that is, the fact that Romney abused his dog is not revealed until preliminary questions about dog treatment generally have been asked. These […]

Friday Night Music

Friday, February 24, 2012

Well, in keeping with the topicality requirement, I thought I would try to find a song that celebrated something all the Republican candidates had in common, and I think I’ve found it, in two versions. This group was a true one hit wonder, though according to what I read while wandering through youtube, they parlayed […]

Lazy Sunday

Sunday, February 19, 2012

Honestly, there are times when blogging becomes a difficult ordeal. I just can’t bring myself to comment on current events. Partly this is because, deep down, I know I lack the talent to adequately address our current situation. To think that people out there, all over the country-indeed, all over the globe, are having to […]
