Fortunate Son

Wednesday, July 4, 2007

John Fogerty sang about George Bush before there was a George Bush. It took me forever to find a decent video version. This does not appear to be lip synced and the sound is decent. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-5XgI244xo[/youtube] Seems like a fitting song for this 4th of July.

The 4th in Groton

Wednesday, July 4, 2007

I have posted a page of pictures from the Groton Parade, which you can access at the link on the upper right hand side of the homepage. Sad to say, good parades are among the many indirect victims of television. Since people do not have to look to other folks in their community for entertainment […]

Southern Justice

Tuesday, July 3, 2007

This reads like something out of the early Sixties South. Read it all, it’s chilling: In a small, still mostly segregated, section of rural Louisiana, an all white jury heard a series of white witnesses called by a white prosecutor testify in a courtroom overseen by a white judge in a trial of a fight […]

The Day gets it, eight months too late

Tuesday, July 3, 2007

In an Editorial today, the New London Day takes Joe Lieberman to task for his support of the Iraq War. It has not yet clued itself in to the fact that Joe now has bigger fish to fry; having destroyed Iraq for no reason, he is now gunning for Iran, spreading disinformation as he goes. […]

A benefit for Groton residents

Tuesday, July 3, 2007

If I meet my own expectations, I will soon post something about the New London Day. How’s that for a surprise? I stopped off at the Groton Public Library to do a little research, as I expected to have to use a back issue of the Day to make a point, and as you may […]

We get comments

Monday, July 2, 2007

To the casual observer, it may seem like I’m not getting many comments lately. I have of late been berated for my inability to discern the relative merits of music videos, but otherwise my readership has been largely silent-or so it may look. In fact, I have been fairly inundated with comments from diverse sources, […]

I’m outraged, how about you?

Monday, July 2, 2007

George Bush has commuted Libby’s prison sentence because two and a half years in prison is excessive for merely perverting the course of justice and committing perjury. This is merely the last in a “long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinc[ing] a design to reduce [us] under absolute Despotism.” . […]

Server problems

Sunday, July 1, 2007

In case you had trouble trying to access this site, the problem is now cleared up. At least it is to be hoped that it is. Recently my hosting company announced a new feature, which it suggested I enable. I dutifully did, with no ill effects, until today, when it caused a problem that made […]
