Due to technical difficulties, my wife’s monthly email reminder failed to go out in a timely fashion. So to all Southeastern Connecticut liberal drinker: the meeting is on.

Doing the right thing

Wednesday, January 6, 2010

We owe Chris Dodd a debt of gratitude for doing the right thing today. Some of his problems were self inflicted. Most were not, but none of that matters in politics, where perception so often makes reality. He was an excellent Senator, and a year from November that’s the way most people will remember him, […]

McMahon wrestles with FEC

Tuesday, January 5, 2010

A New Year’s Tradition

Sunday, January 3, 2010

About ten years ago my wife began a New Year’s tradition of making cinnamon buns on New Year’s Day. Unfortunately, something happened and the buns went unmade for the years twixt then and now, though the tradition endured as an aspiration, so to speak. This year it has returned in a blaze of glory, somewhat […]

Person of the Year

Sunday, January 3, 2010

While at the Supermarket recently I saw, to my initial surprise, that Time Magazine has named Ben Bernanke person of the year. I had actually read what I thought were rumors that he might win this prestigious award, but I discounted that as being wildly absurd. I haven’t read the article, but upon reflection I […]
