I suppose it's kind of fitting that Joe Lieberman will wind up scotching the legislation piece that would mean more to me, personally, than anything I can remember.
I'm an unreliable witness on Medicare expansion, because it would change my life. I'm an independent contractor in three or four places, a [...]
Let's just take the guess work out of this.

[...]As Letterman used to say, I have the worst toupee in show business.
Also featured, Patrick Skahill, blowing up a bridge with his thoughts.
And Chion being Chion.
[...]We had seahorses in the studio today, and we fell in love with them.
Look at Chion's slideshow (up in that link). They really do seem to like to wind their tails around the hands of people they recognize. The first two people shown are our delightful seahorse experts, via Goodwin College. [...]
So which do you think most Americans know more about / have discussed more in their homes and workplaces? The decision to send 30,000 young Americans into Afghanistan or Tiger Woods and his marriage-cum-car accident? And maybe it's not a fair question, but I think the disparity is staggering. There are [...]
Today's column is, well, today's column.
Also, make sure you read ToCo's terrific column about the airport.I hadn't given this subject a lot of thought, but it seems to me he's correct on every point.

It all dates back to this Letterman Top Ten List.
of Top Ten Elf Complaints
10. Bells on clothing target for jeers at truck stop
9. Need two pieces of I.D. to buy beer
8. Santa's union-busting goons killed a guy last spring

I can't track down the quote, but I remember reading somewhere John Updike's assertion that he was repeatedly attracted, as a fiction writer, to the mystery of church attendance. It was a mystery in which he participated. While I'm preparing for today's show, the final show in our week of [...]
Peter Schiff = Really interesting candidate who will probably bring a spark and a fresh round of insights to the 2010 political season in Connecticut.
Schiffheads = Angry cranks with limited social skills who are convinced that they are part of a select cerebral elite who can understand the messianic importance of Schiff's ideas.
Schiff's dilemma = How' [...]
"Certain representations" is good enough for me!
After all, what could go wrong?
OK, but that was an anomaly.
My sense is that ConnDOT really has these problems ironed out.
[...]There are 132 comments, as of this writing, on this post. I kind or ran out of energy when reading them, but I'm pretty sure all 132 of them pertain to the omission of Peter Schiff.
And they're absolutely right. It was my first thought too when reading the article. [...]
Every so often you get to be pleased. (I think.) Months ago, I suggested to Auxiliary Bishop Peter Rosazza that he and I do a full-show interview. My idea was to focus the conversation on his person experience of faith and mysticism. Today was the day, and I confess [...]
I have to part company with my colleagues in the Hartford Courant editorial department over the tone of this editorial. Hey I have no trouble believing Dwayne Powell is a bum and a bad guy, and if that's what the courts find, I hope he's appropriately punished.
But that's not what [...]
Report from the Bizzaropalin planet:
One of the reasons Bill Walton turned out as he did was the inflience of his left wing Cheyenne basketball coach.
[...]" We have no reason to mistrust our world, for it is not against us. Has it terrors, they are our terrors; has it abysses, those abysses belong to us; are dangers at hand, we must try to love them. And if we could only arrange our life according to that" [...]
An open offer to John Rowland. Do a full-hour radio interview with me. Let's have a long and very real conversation. If you really talked, you would get more than 15 people at your events. From the linked article:
Only 15 people showed up for Rowland's speech. To attend, people [...]
Sorry. Can't be embedded. You must go here. I love the president reindeer names.

' [...]At the start of the year, Governing published a story using Connecticut as test case to look at the withering of a State Capitol press corps.
Now, Governing has its own problems, in the form of a rather odd new owner.
[...]Trouble in teabagland.
[...]Please, please Mr. Foxwoods, can the lettuce ladies come here?
It really would be a win-win, except for when people lost money, which I believe does happen in casinos.
via/ Capitol Report.
[...]So much for the dreamy Kevin O'Connor.
Caligiuri for Governor is a smart play. Sam is a stronger candidate than any of the others being mentioned right now. He's lost in that senatorial field, but he could do his party some good by running a strong race for governor.
' [...]I can envision a 28 Days Later thing where the puppets, hungry for flesh, attack the people of Minnesota.
[...]Today was Moustache Day, and Chion Wolf was snapping away. I shaved down my lower beard and then darkened the upper part with mascarca. Gerry showed us a picture of him, circa 1975. Chion shopped in a moustache on her picture of him from today. And now, you have things [...]
At the age of 18, my son rashly applied for a Bally's membership. He went to the gym three times, decided the whole thing was a bad idea and stopped. He probably failed to make the necessary notifications. Meanwhile, he had authorized Bally's to deduct its monthly fee from his [...]
