Gerry Garcia dropped by at last night’s Drinking Liberally, no doubt the last politician of note (not counting founding and faithful member Betsy Ritter) we will see until the next election cycle.
Gerry is an impressive guy. We Democrats have the bad or good fortune, depending on how you look at it, of having an embarrassment of riches as far as the people running for secretary of state (or is is secretary of the state) are concerned. Come to think of it, that’s the case for all the offices. Why are the Republican candidates all such mediocrities, I wonder?
When Gerry came to our town committee meeting a few weeks ago he passed out ice cream, Ben and Jerry’s of course, but, alas, could not do so last night.
I should say here that there was a bit of confusion about last night, as word was circulated that Dan Malloy was going to come as well. In fact, Dan never committed to come, or even, so far as I know, said he would come, so that was an error, though of course he would have been welcome.
This has been a truly busy week for me. I do hope to actually get to serious posting at some point, but this is the best I can do for now.
