The NRA Blew It

on Tuesday, November 14, 2006
There is no more pro firearm rights citizen in America than Edward Pocock III (refered to fondly by locals as "E3").

Eddie fought to get the NRA's Eddie Eagle safety program into Southington Schools during his service on the Board of Ed. Would a few more of our youth be alive today had his uninformed opponents not blocked this worthwhile program? Bet on it. Those that fought Eddie undoubtedly have blood on their hands.

Eddie founded the Southington Police Rifle Team and led them to more victories than any other such team in the world.

Below is a photo of Eddie's license plate.



Who did the NRA back?

The other guy.

With friends like that who needs enemies?

Famous Duck to "speak" for Democratic Candidate

on Wednesday, November 1, 2006
"Ben" the famous duck in Aflac commericals will appear in New Britain on Friday November 3rd at CCSU.

I've no idea what the point in having a duck campaign at a college where most students are either not registered to vote at all or are at their home addresses which are usually not in CT's 5th district.



One can only imagine what the Democratic Candidate promised the duck; but if he sticks to his usual persona the duck can expect to be eaten by days end.



A sad end to a famous duck.
