  • Questioning the other "One"

    If Obama is the "One", then Al Gore is "THE OTHER ONE". Fellow Nobel Prize winner Al Gore doesn't like to be questioned, as seen here.




    Recent studies show that the earth's temperature has been stable if not cooling for the last eleven years. [...]

  • Charlie Gibson and ACORN

    Charles Gibson claims no knowledge of the ACORN tapes even as the third one surfaces and Congress votes to cut off funding of the thugs. The main stream guys won't touch this one. It hits too close to "The One".

    Gibson is heard saying "maybe that's one you just" [...]

  • ACORN and Your Tax Dollars.

    ACORN, the darling organization of the Obama administration, is seen here advising an undercover pair posing as a prostitute and a Congressional wannabe (is that redundant?) on how to avoid taxes.
    There is outrage at the suggestion, without proof, that conservatives are organizing anti-socialized health care rallies and Tea Partys. [...]

  • Your Tax Dollars at Work

    This video shows how much thought and effort the Democrats in Hartford are willing to put into the budget process and it is reflected in the results. Republicans once again offered a no tax increase budget without cutting funding to towns or education. Democrats actually raised taxes in this environment [...]

  • Greenwich Dems in Disarray

    Can it get any stranger?

    The extreme left wing of the self proclaimed big tent Party rose up this week and rejected their Executive Committee's recommendation for Selectman, as well as abstaining from nominating anyone for Tax Collector.
    By all accounts John Conte, the' [...]

  • It's Political Season in Greenwich!

    So there you have it. The Greenwich Democrats are poised to nominate a Republican for Selectman candidate. John Conte, a newly minted Democrat and relative unknown, will be running under the Democrat's banner. For all their bluster and chest thumping it seems they don't have the [...]

    A German's point of View ~Food for Thought

    This is by far the best explanation of the Muslim terrorist situation I have ever read. His references to past history are accurate and clear. Not long, easy to understand and well worth the read. A German's View on Islam A [...]

  • Ed Krumeich.....He's Baaack!

    Today two time loser Ed Krumeich threw his hat in the ring for Selectman. The fact that the Dems need to keep dragging this guy out says something about the state of that party. Meanwhile, the Republicans have more qualified candidates than slots for the BOE, [...]

    My favorite email of the week....
    Observations of the President's 1st 100 Days:
    1. Offended the Queen of England.

    2. Bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia.

    4. Kissed Hugo Chavez on the cheek.[...]

    Mr. President what were you thinking?

    You clearly do not understand what the people of New York went through on September 11th, 2001. For you and your self centered minions to send Air Force One with fighter jets in tow over the Manhattan skyline for [...]

    First Obama goes on his European apology tour. Addressing a crowd from France and Germany during the G-20 summit, Mr. Obama said: “In America, there is a failure to appreciate Europe's leading role in the world. Instead of celebrating your dynamic union and seeking to partner' [...]

  • The 3AM Call?


    The Liberal press is giddy over Obama's handling of the Somali hostage incident. They can barely contain themselves. Praising his incredible restraint in public, while in private giving the order to use deadly force only if the life of the kidnapped Captain was in danger.[...]

  • Who caused this mess?

    I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore!

    Democrats caused this problem and Democrats are worsening it. This amateur hour of an administration is responsible for the trillions of dollars lost in real working peoples retirement accounts and there is no end in sight to [...]

  • Enough Already

    I am growing a little weary listening to Greenwich liberals, I mean "progressives", continue to thump their puny chests and declare victory over the Republican Party. The facts tell a different story.

    Local Dems once again failed to even field challengers to Livvy Floren [...]

    I am sitting here thinking about the terrorist attacks in India and the prospect of the liberals running our defense. They are more worried about the rights of the evil ones than keeping us safe from them. Their platform included closing Gitmo, immediate withdrawal from [...]

    For those who could not follow the previous video, this one moves a little slower. Republicans need to stop playing nice and get out in front of this. There should be no way in a fair society, with a functional press, that blame could be laid anywhere but at the [...]

    The incredible chutzpah of the Democrats on the issue of the collapsing financial industry is mind blowing! To see the likes of Barney Frank, Chris Dodd and yes, Barrack Obama the very people at the root of the collapse, pointing fingers at Republicans is breathtaking. They would not be able [...]

    So Obama has finally made it to Afghanistan. Who does he have to thank for that? Joe Lieberman says it is John McCain.

    Democrat State Representative candidate, Ed Krumeich, likes to call the 44 Republican State Representatives in Hartford "The Futile 44" a play on "The Fighting 44" that the Republicans refer to themselves as. Without question the latter nickname is true.

    Last year Republicans rammed a no [...]

    It seems from poll results, past and present, and conversations with friends and neighbors that Betty Sternberg is universally judged as incompetent.

    Greenwich school superintendent Betty Sternberg came to Greenwich for two reasons.

    First for the money. Greenwich residents shower money on her. Between her salary, car allowance, housing allowance and bonuses, she makes somewhere in the neighborhood of $300,000.

    Second, she thinks she is here [...]

    Once again Greenwich is struggling with non-resident admission to Town facilities. Before we spend any more money on the design of a community pool in Byram Park this issue must be resolved.
