Friday Night Music-Early Edition

Friday, August 13, 2010

Since I probably won’t have internet access again today, this is going up early. Originally I intended to find a good version of Moonlight in Vermont, but the only actual video I could find (as opposed to music with a picture of the artist) was by Frank Sinatra. I realize he was immensely talented, but […]

Vermont miscellany

Friday, August 13, 2010

I don’t know whether this is a blessing or a curse, but we are rather cut off from the outside world up here in Vermont. We have to go out of our way to get access to the internet, and consequently are having a hard time keeping up with what’s going on in the rest […]

Looking ahead

Tuesday, August 10, 2010

Now we have to hope that Malloy is as good at spreading the truth about Foley as he was at spreading lies about Lamont.

Greetings from Vermont

Tuesday, August 10, 2010

Just keeping my hand in here. While the folks at home are worrying about the primary, we’ve put all that behind us. I’m writing this using WordPress for the Ipad, which is quite primitive. I’ve inserted three pictures (the maximum allowed) but I have no way of previewing to see how they look. Anyway, we’re […]

Friday Night Music-A Summer Song

Friday, August 6, 2010

I am somewhat embarrassed to admit that Chad and Jeremy were among my very favorite acts at the start of the British Invasion. I well remember being greatly disappointed when they backed out of headlining a “Big D Big Show” at the Bushnell in 1965 or thereabouts. I bought all their albums. What can I […]

Because I know you’ve been waiting: CTBlue primary endorsements

Friday, August 6, 2010

We shall soon be heading for the Green Mountains, for two blessed weeks away from work. Before I leave I feel it is incumbent upon me to tell everyone out there how to vote. Let me say first, that we have, for the most part, a fine roster of candidates. Whoever wins will have my […]

Nit-picky

Thursday, August 5, 2010

As a long suffering Town Committee treasurer, who tries to go by the book, I want to second Representative Tim O’Brien’s (New Britain and Newington) complaints about the State Election Enforcement Commission. He takes issue, justifiably in my opinion, with the Commission’s assertion that he has to put a “Paid for by ” disclaimer on […]

Chris, don’t let the door hit you on the way out

Wednesday, August 4, 2010

Chris Dodd appears determined to prove his critics right: he has been in Washington way too long. As his final act as a Senator, he has chosen to lead the charge among Democrats to assure the survival of the filibuster and the continued dominance of the Republican party, no matter who is in the minority. […]

What I tell you three (or three million) times is true

Monday, August 2, 2010

This morning’s New London Day has a puff piece about the three Republicans vying to get crushed by Joe Courtney in November. This sentence caught the eye of my vigilant spouse, and impressed me as well: Along with fellow Republicans, they want to reverse Democratic policies like the health care reform bill, enacted by Obama […]
