The general speaks

Friday, September 14, 2007

There appears to be real reporting going on at the McClatchy newspapers. The reporters there don’t seem to be awed by all those medals on the chest of the great general. He is, they report, going to go back to Iraq and try to get the Iraqis to do our bidding by threatening a troop […]

Lately, a number of spambots have successfully breached the Bad Behavior wall. I have changed the settings, but there is a possibility now that real people will be blocked. If you are a real person, and your comment does not appear after you post it, please email to me and I will change the settings […]

Getting out

Thursday, September 13, 2007

A few thoughts jotted down while I don’t watch Bush’s speech. There’s been some talk, as I mentioned recently, to the effect that whoever gets elected in 2008 will soon own the war that Bush will bequeaths to him or her. At this point, as anyone case see, his entire strategy is to repeat his […]

Cold comfort, but comfort nonetheless

Thursday, September 13, 2007

According to a poll commissioned by Daily Kos, Ned Lamont would handily beat Joe Lieberman today, if the voters of Connecticut had another chance to vote. Most of the shift, as you would expect, comes from the Democrats and Independents who were taken in by Lieberman. By the way, it’s hard to believe that the […]

The Day drinks the Petreaus Kool-Aid

Tuesday, September 11, 2007

In an effort to prove that they are very serious people, the Day has opined that despite its belief that we should end our military involvement in Iraq, we should not in fact end our military involvement in Iraq. We should, as the editorial is titled GIVE NEW IRAQ STRATEGY TIME. This editorial deserves to […]

Misdirections, a Republican specialty

Monday, September 10, 2007

I’ve been reading the blogs, etc., about the Petreaus testimony, and it appears to me that once again the Republicans have succeeded at something at which they excel: misdirection. Many years ago now, the Sainted Ronald was caught red-handed selling weapons to the Iranians. That was a bad thing to do, perhaps warranting impeachment, but […]

The RTM stays

Monday, September 10, 2007

This is strictly Groton news. The Charter Revision Commission voted not to abolish the RTM. We now go to the harder work of refashioning the Charter. Of course, the overriding issue, as always, is the budget referendum. It will be interesting to see how things go on that issue.

Bush prepares to go out Cheney style

Sunday, September 9, 2007

A few weeks ago I predicted we’d be hearing more about Bush’s plans to complete the destruction of the United States of America, starting with the environment, before he left office. I was hardly going out on a limb. Anyone could have predicted it. Today we get a glimpse of some more of the damage […]

A brief hiatus

Friday, September 7, 2007

My wife and I are off to Maine to a wedding. With any luck, I will not be in front of a computer again until Sunday night.

Mr. 9/11 exposed

Friday, September 7, 2007

This is all over the net, but it needs to be widely seen, from a documentary by Robert Greenwald: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T0E0wfShJ58&v3[/youtube] Surprisingly, Greenwald doesn’t mention that another reason Rudy put the command center near the World Trade Center was so he could have a comfortable place to commit GOP retroactively sanctioned adultery.
