Obama-Care stands, Republicans more motivated than ever

We may be looking the SCOTUS decision a little backwards.

As Republicans the last we want to do is find ourselves depending on the Supreme Court to legislate.

Further, without this nonsense remaining in place we had no assurance of a national repeat of the 2010 elections, where we saw over 200 more Republican state legislators elected than even in the 1984 landslide.

Now however, thanks to Roberts we're virtually assured of a Republican victory this November.

I only hope that the re-write includes aggressive limits on malpractice penalties as well as a massive curtailment of the FDA. Those two would dramatically reduce overall health-care costs.

Frankly, we should be tickled to death with the situation; the stock market took an immediate dive, everyone is all whipped up and the Tea Party is now foaming at the mouth like a pack of rabid dogs.

How can anything that gets so many people motivated be bad thing?

Keep your Democratic friends busy for hours!

Democrats, led by Malloy run state into a ditch

Neither Malloy nor his any of his thieving
confederates can drive or navigate.

Connecticut is only weeks away from borrowing money to pay for monthly operating expenses because its cash accounts are depleted to near-record lows.

Republicans charged that bloated state spending is the culprit, along with savings predicted in last year's concession package with public employee unions that have not been realized. 


There is a fix for this folks:
We need to elect just 5 more Republican state senators in order to stop Malloy and his band of thieves in their tracks.

Notice the contrast

Chris Murphy and his entourage:

Pelosi - Always such a kind woman......

The murder of Brian Terry is according to one former Speaker: strictly political


Pelosi criticized Republicans pushing for justice for Border Patrol agent Brian Terry — as House oversight committee ranking Democratic member Rep. Elijah Cummings has on numerous occasions — as “just strictly political.”

“It’s just the irresponsibility of the Republicans,” Pelosi said. “We want jobs. Why are they spending this time doing this?”

Environmental Sustainability Programs: Is It Too Soon For Businesses To Go All In?

Guest post from Linda Zabriske


In the world of business, the new power word is “sustainability.” Manufacturers are looking for ways to use fewer toxins and more recycled products. Business schools are teaching sustainability practices in their masters programs. Service businesses are searching for low-energy servers and digital replacements for their paper. Stores are seeking more green labeled products and a greater dependence on the environmentally-minded consumer.

It comes as no surprise that many customers are starting to wonder what the real motives behind all this sustainability really are. After all, for-profit businesses are driven to create strategies to make money or improve their image. Other, more socially friendly tactics, tend to get left by the wayside. This leads to companies engaging in greenwashing, or simply pasting environmental-sounding logos onto their products without changing the product or process itself.

This has as Inc Magazine recently pointed out, led to a backlash among both analysts and consumers. Now people are eyeing, not marketing efforts, but the core practices of a business. Shrewder examinations are getting down to the nuts and bolts of sustainability, looking for long-lasting green programs showing real results. This has some corporations worrying about their initiatives...and if perhaps they jumped on the sustainable bandwagon a little too soon.

Too Much Too Soon

There is a case to be made for slowing down on sustainability programs among companies. For one thing, many companies choose sustainable practices because of subsidies, tax breaks, or regulations made by government organizations. Unfortunately, in both the United States and Europe, governmental policy is frequently influenced by popular opinion and current research. This means that in a few years subsidies and regulations could be changed or updated, rendering worthless all that cash the business dumped into sustainability.

The companies that are doing sustainability right begin with serious, independent research, high-cost consultations, and eco-efficiency analysis. They hire new managers devoted to greening up the place. They put aside a hefty amount of their budget to study the effects of the programs and make changes. These steps are, beyond most small or middle-sized businesses. For companies that can’t afford it, sitting back and waiting for better research may be a more attractive idea.

The Argument for Early Adoption

On the other hand, there are some powerful motivators for adopting sustainable practices sooner rather than later. For one thing, the core promise of eco-efficiency is cost savings. Low energy bulbs and cooling systems, for example, are designed to save money on running office buildings and are a win-win for most businesses. If a company does the green thing right, it should save money and even make money in the long-term.

On a deeper level, jumping on board with sustainable practices could be a way of jump starting business innovation. As the Harvard Business Review pointed out, sustainable development is one of the largest sources of new inventions, processes, and viewpoints in major corporations.  The constant tensions between government, business, and environmental organization have created some surprising synergies, not to mention the ability to make profit in entirely new technological fields. For a farsighted business looking for that special boost into prominence, sustainability may be just what Mother Earth ordered. 

CTGOP Chair Labriola appoints Meek

Connecticut Republican Party Chairman Jerry Labriola, Jr. announced today the selection of Chris Meek of Stamford to the position of Second Vice-Chairman At Large.

“I’m thrilled to have on our team someone with Chris’ depth of experience and knowledge of Connecticut’s political climate,” said Labriola.

Chris Meek is a valued member of the Republican Party, most recently running for Congress in the 4th Congressional District but choosing not to force a primary in favor of party unity. Additionally, Chris has been very active in various community organizations in Fairfield County including the two non-profits he founded, START! Now—which helps families facing foreclosure—and Soldier Socks—which provides essential items to troops serving overseas.

“In this role, Chris will be working with our District Second Vice-Chairmen to forward our grassroots organization and help build our party politically and financially as we work together towards victory in November,” added Labriola.

...just a little more time...

You won't want to miss this....

Don't miss Dennis House this morning.

This might be one of Chris Donovan's last interviews before he resigns the race in disgrace and heads off to oblivion with his former colleague, Tom Gaffey

We wish Donovan well in the Democratic primary.
