Joe gone

Thursday, March 28, 2024

Joe Lieberman has left the planet. Mindful of the aphorism that one should not speak ill of the dead, I shall write not a word about what some people might say ( like the person here) about a man who was so incensed about losing a primary just because he backed a senseless war that […]

What is a centrist?

Tuesday, April 18, 2023

This article over at Hullabaloo got me thinking about the term “centrist” as it is used in the media. The article is about Joe Lieberman’s “No Labels” group, which is in the process of trying to put together a presidential ticket in 2024. A funny thing about centrists is that they never tell you what […]

Say you aren’t Joe, Matt

Saturday, May 30, 2020

I’ve been writing this blog since early 2005. When I started, I was one among many Connecticut left wing bloggers, all of whom, so far as I know, have fallen by the wayside, blog wise, and confine themselves to twitter, a medium in which I have never felt particularly comfortable. Anyway, in those long ago […]

A loathsome person

Tuesday, August 9, 2016

The only time I ever voted for a Republican was in 1988, when I voted for Lowell Weicker, who was running against the loathsome Joe Lieberman. The only time I voted for Joe Lieberman was once by mistake, when I forgot to skip his lever on the old voting machines, and once in 2000, when […]

No question it’s so, Joe

Wednesday, May 4, 2016

In case you were wondering (and you probably weren’t) what Joe Lieberman is doing these days, here’s an update courtesy of Down With Tyranny: Wall Street banksters fund No Labels to destroy Social Security, Medicare and other social services and they have decided on Lieberman and Huntsman as their new frontmen. Reactionary politics is the […]

Hey Joe, Shut up and mind your own stupid business

Friday, May 10, 2013

The Boston Police say that they have no way of knowing if they’d have done anything different than the FBI had it passed along information about Tamerlan Tsarnaev. The FBI did not initially share with Boston police the warnings it had received from Russia about one suspect in last month’s marathon bombings, despite the work […]

Mixed emotions

Friday, March 1, 2013

Today is a landmark day for me, and not because the nation has started the process of slow motion economic suicide. No, this is personal to me, for today I have lost a bet, something about which I have mixed emotions. Many months ago I bet a friend who shall remain nameless (but not totally […]

Great column at the Day

Monday, June 27, 2011

I wrote a letter to the Editor at the Day last week. I never heard back from them and, what with one thing and another, forgot all about it. Then, there it was in this morning’s paper, promoted (I think it’s a promotion) to a guest commentary. Whatever, anytime I can call Joe Lieberman a […]

Joe! Reconsider!

Thursday, January 20, 2011

The folks at My Left Nutmeg were pleased to hear about Joe Lieberman’s decision to retire from the Senate (likely to a well paid gig dissing liberals on Fox). We here at CTBlue (well, that would actually be me here at CTBlue) don’t feel that way at all. We wanted Joe to stay the course. […]
