I embark upon blogging today with some trepidation, as I have just returned from the Seahorse restaurant, where my wife and I enjoyed the early week special ($21.99 for two meals and a bottle of wine, a mere $12.00 if you forego the wine). Unfortunately, my wife did not pull her weight, so far as drinking the wine was concerned, so I had to pull double duty. If this is somewhat disjointed, well, you have been warned.
The same wife who failed so miserably in the wine department sent me this link, to a website called “Joe Courtney Watch”. Sad, really. Anyway, it appears that Joe Courtney is a “FRIEND OF POTHEADS”. Far be it from me to defend potheads. I personally have never touched the stuff. Well, hardly ever. ( A free CTBlue T-Shirt, if I ever have them made, to the first person who can identify the literary/dramatic/operatic reference in the previous sentence) I have some vague recollections of having been in the same room when the substance was being used, but of course I spurned it when offered. Or if I didn’t spurn it, I didn’t inhale. Anyway, like Alberto, I really can’t recall. And if I do recall, I only remember that quite often there were cookies. That’s my story, such as it is, and I’m sticking to it. Anyway, it’s good to see that the anonymous author of Joe Courtney Watch has his or her eyes on the really important issues. Why worry about Iraq, global warming or health care? It’s really more important that we give people long prison sentences for smoking dope.
It must be difficult being a Republican these days. When your party has turned everything to shit, it’s pretty hard to come up with a positive reason to support your own side. It must be pretty painful to be reduced to suggesting (in another post to which I refuse to link) that the Democrats are too cozy with lobbyists. One would think that Republicans should at least wait until all the indictments are in, and all their Congressmen safely in jail, before they trot out that line of attack. It must be particularly lonely work for Republicans in rational states such as Connecticut. If you make the trek to this site, check out the blogroll.
