Few things are as detestable as exploiting certain groups for your own personal political gain. At the lowest levels of respectability would be the use of our nation's veterans of the armed forces to further your own political exposure.
The only thing bigger than Ralph Nader's ego is his delusion of significance. But whenever his political sideshow tent pulls into view and he begins unpacking its crates of unmitigated bullshit, I have to smile.
Sometimes the facts are raw and the truth just is what it is. State Senator Sam Caligiuri, who is an excellent candidate for virtually anything, has totally stalled out in his race for the U.S. Senate. He is overshadowed by former Congressman Rob Simmons and the [...] 
Shelly Sindland's blog addresses the curious legislative need for floral plantings outside of the Capitol building. Apparently with an $8 billion budget deficit the state is still paying for lavish landscaping outside of the home of the legislature.
While the General Assembly passed a ban of the death penalty in Connecticut this past session, Governor Rell has thankfully vetoed the measure. We are now free to continue executing one convicted violent murderer per quarter century. 
There is no delicate way to say it. Senator Tom Gaffey has a bowling-ball sized scrotum made of pure brass. And he wags it insolently in the faces of all state residents who prefer their government corruption-free.
I continue to be amused by the impotent efforts of liberal legislative bodies at combating obesity. Our own General Assembly offered some beauties in recent years, and this year is no different.
Ken Dixon of the Connecticut Post has an excellent blog entry today on what he terms the "Situational Ethics" of Democratic Senate President Don Williams. It relays the exchange by Williams with members of the Capitol Press Corps concerning the recent findings against Democratic Senator Joe [...] 
Another entry in the Journal of the Laughable as it concerns the State Senate Democrats who are endlessly lecturing us on clean elections and trying to convince us that they are our clean elections saviors.
Ted Mann of the New London Day really rolled it into a cone and stuffed it deep concerning a clownish display by Connecticut House Democrats this week.
The State Elections Enforcement Commission slapped state senator and sexual retard Tom Gaffey with a hefty fine this week for having been reimbursed for a number of trips, hotel stays etc. two times... once by the state and once by his political PAC.
The State House of Representatives evidently PASSED a bill last evening which I have discussed before... the Office of the Ass Advocate Bill.
With one month left of the General Assembly's 2009 regular session, Democrats at the Capitol are doing everything they can to keep from actually doing something. Yesterday afternoon the Democrats sent a letter to Governor Rell asking her to join them in their leadership of the' [...] 
They say AIDS began when someone humped a monkey. Debatable as that is, we are now faced with warnings of an impending global pandemic of "swine flu" from world health organizations, after someone clearly had an improper association with a pig. I guess.
It turns out that State Representative Jim O'Rourke is likely to be charged with negligent homicide in the January death of Carol Sinisgalli, a 41-year-old DMV employee whom O'Rourke left a bar with, dropping her off in the freezing cold a half mile from her home [...] 
I guess Obama feels like he owes one of his Chief Command-Level Rump-Swabs, Senator Chris Dodd, a little love. After all, Dodd did his bidding in the Senate, paving the way for those splendid AIG bonuses.
Yes, I have been away a while, and there is much to catch up on. Particularly, the issuance of the budget proposal of state legislative Democrats. It is an insulting document which dramatically raises taxes by $3.3 billion and demonstrates very clearly that the left wingers [...] 
The Democrats in the Connecticut General Assembly have been claiming that Governor Rell's proposed budget, which has no tax increases, does not balance and is short $2.8 billion. So Democrats have spent the last two weeks on crafting a massive fictional spending cut of an additional' [...]
