This doesn’t sound good

Tuesday, April 13, 2010

From an email I received a few minutes ago: Hello. I hope that you will help me in researching a possible story for the Hartford Courant. You are receiving this message because you are listed on the constituent database at the Secretary of the State’s office in Hartford. I have obtained that database via a […]

I’m not making any accusations, but…

Tuesday, April 13, 2010

My wife informs me that a certain corner of the tweetosphere is -well, all a twitter- about this post at the Atlantic. Everyone who’s anyone is linking to it. This has raised our ire, or at least our suspicions, because it is ever so similar to this post, to which I’ve linked in the past, […]

JJB Dinner-A review

Tuesday, April 13, 2010

We SE Connecticut Liberal Drinkers managed to fill a whole table at the JJB Dinner last night. Our table was several miles from the speaker’s podium; it was indeed tied with the table at the extreme other end of the room for farthest from that seat of honor. We console ourselves with the belief that […]

Hat in the Ring

Sunday, April 11, 2010

Having lost my ill fated bid to replace the last Pope (and look what’s come of that!) I feel some trepidation in announcing my candidacy for the next Supreme Court appointment. Nonetheless, for the good of the country, I must put personal considerations aside, throw my hat in the ring, and place my name in […]

So many liars, so little time

Saturday, April 10, 2010

A few minutes ago one of my wife’s friends forwarded an email to her filled with what appeared to be ludicrous claims about the cap and trade bill. Among the obvious whoppers: Beginning one year after enactment of the Cap and Trade Act, you won’t be able to sell your home unless you retrofit it […]

Ipad-First Impressions

Saturday, April 10, 2010

This is a bit late of course. The Ipad is so last week. Mine arrived with the first batch delivered, but I was away so I didn’t get to play with it until yesterday. It’s not an original observation, but I’ll make it anyway: it’s great at providing content, but the jury is still out […]

A few pictures from our Nation’s Capital

Saturday, April 10, 2010

Some picture taken Thursday, the one full day we spent in DC. Since pretty much everyone has seen the major landmarks, I’ll stay away from those, and in fact, we stayed away from the physically as well. We went to the Natural History Museum to see what turned out to be rather disappointing exhibit on […]

Confederate History Month

Saturday, April 10, 2010

Now I know how John Stewart or Stephen Colbert must feel when all kinds of crazy things happen while they’re on vacation. Of course, politics being what they are in this nation, at this time, just about any week you pick is chock full of events proving beyond doubt that we are a nation infested […]
