Dennis Kucinich for president!

Thanks to the Everyday Republican where I literally stole this whole thing from - it was too good not to!

Dodd can't get any respect

Chris Dodd, the Rodney Dangerfield of the Democratic Party




Chris Dodd; never one to harbor a grudge, especially against terrorists, is seeking to charge the nations phone companies with heavens only knows what as a penalty for helping us fight the war on terrorism.

Imagine - American companies seeking to keep the nation safe. The very nerve of them says Dodd who is trying to place a hold on the FISA legislation that includes amnesty for telecommunications companies.

So who's stopping him?
Fellow Democrat Harry Reid who isn't about the let Dodd make the Dems look like they're as soft on terrorism as they really are.

Poor Chris can't get any respect.

Read all about it at this leftist site if you're inclined:http://www.firedoglake.com/2007/10/18/reid-tries-to-shut-down-dodds-hold/

The take on the same subject from the American Communist Party is (surprise!) quite parallel with that of Senator Dodds. (If you're stopping by at this blog you probably already knew that.)

Thanks and a tip of hat to the site:Connecticut Local Politics

What's with Litchfield?

Litchfield Historic Commission uneasy about proposed synagogue.
This old Yankee borough may soon get its first synagogue, but only after facing the gauntlet of historical correctness. Trouble already is brewing.

The danger of long term alcohol abuse

Looks like Congresscritter Chris Murphy's (CT-5) pal is in trouble:



A federal judge has ordered Rep. Jack Murtha (D-Pa.) to testify in a defamation case related to the deaths of Iraqi civilians in the town of Haditha in 2005, according to the Associated Press.

Murtha, a former Marine. accused Marines involved in the "cold-blooded murder and war crimes'' during the Haditha incident. Fran Wuterich, a Marine sergeant involved in the icident, has sued Murtha for defamation over his comments.

According to AP, U.S. District Judge Rosemary M. Collyer wants Murtha to explain why he made this statement and any documents he has related to the incident.

From the AP: 'You're writing a very wide road for members of Congress to go to their home districts and say anything they choose about private persons and be able to do so without any liability. Are you sure you want to do that?'' Collyer said, adding later, ''How far can a congressman go and still be protected?"

Just Say "NO" to Dave Zoni

Lest we forget the calibre of Zoni's last campaign; and thus his own lack thereof.

From The Southington Observer

Zoni’s shameful tactics

Zoni, a Democrat, approved a piece of campaign literature that is so vile and repugnant, it sets a new low mark for negative campaigning.

Democratic alderman and current Southington resident Don Rinaldi, who in 2001 led the fight for impeachment proceedings against Giordano, has said the mailer “crossed the line” and that Caligiuri was clearly working for an agreement with the best interests of the city in mind.

Zoni should be ashamed and his entire campaign staff should be embarrassed for stooping to such a low. At a minimum, an apology is in order here, but we seriously doubt one will be forthcoming.

Note: No apology has ever come; the man apparently has no honor what-so-ever.

.... Zoni has made the decision that he is intent on winning at any
cost, even if twisting the facts...

The Observer concluded
.... a moral compass that can help him distinguish the differences between right and wrong.

Sadly Dave Zoni has come up woefully short in that department.

Coat Drive / Hero's to Hometown Dinner

We were able to collect over 1000 gently used (in some cases brand new!) coats!

Further - the fund raiser dinner at the Elks Lodge was a huge success serving around 300 civic minded patriotic people; and Dave Hubbs of Friendship Lodge #33 A.F.& A.M. (Masons) was able to present the drive with an additional $1500

Never before in Southington history have so many civic & fraternal groups worked together - it's been an inspiration.

Thanks again!




(Fear not regular readers - I'll post something controversial in the near future.)
