Funny story in the Torrington paper today - this paragraph in particular...

"We get a lot of requests for Ned," campaign spokesman Liz Dupont-Diehl said Thursday night when asked why the Democratic U.S. Senate candidate has not made any personal appearances in the city so far. "I'm positive he will be in Torrington before the month is out," she said late Thursday, Aug. 31. As of midnight, Aug. 31 or month's end, Lamont had not visited the city.

Lamont still a no-show in Torrington (http://www.registercitizen.com/site/news.cfm?newsid=17138583&BRD=1652&PAG=461&dept_id=12530&rfi=6)

You're right, we must stop DeStefano from repealing the laws of supply and demand!!! Let the market take its own course I say. If people can't afford to pay property taxes, then take their houses. And if people are so poor that they can't afford medicine, then let them die!!

The Joe article points me to the notion that Joe will be radioactive in public. Not necessarily in private- and certainly not after a win. He might more valuable property as a centrist.

Jim Jeffords never had it better- and he never affiliated.

Very sad weekend in Milford. 21 year old Jordan Pierson was killed in Iraq and his remains were brought back today.

Eight honor guard marines brought the casket into Cody-White Funeral Home in the center of town. I have been told they will stand guard inside all weekend.

His mother and father and 11 year old brother stood on the steps of Cody-White.

Our communal sorrow is palpable.

On Monday we will have a whole-city event to line the streets of Downtown for the funeral procession at 1 pm. Bring American flags.

From the paper:
Friends may call on Sunday from 2 to 8 p.m. in the Cody-White Funeral Home, 107 Broad Street on the Green, Milford. A Memorial Service will be held on Monday, September 4 at 2 p.m. in the Calvary Evangelical Free Church, 498 White Plains Road, Trumbull. Interment will be held with full military honors on Wednesday, September 6 at 2 p.m. in Arlington National Cemetery. Memorial contributions may be made to Foran High School Scholarship Fund, 80 Foran Road, Milford, CT 06460 or the Marine Corps Law Enforcement Foundation at http://www.mclef.org. www.codywhitefuneralservice.com.

Frank S. we also import power from NY and other states. It's called a grid.

It is remarkable how CT pols reflexsively oppose any and all energy projects and then scream bloody murder when rates increase

the Legislature in February to cut the utilities consumption tax by 225 percent (the Dems declined). And the estate tax is right where the Democrats set it.


How can you cut a tax by over 100%?

Andrew McDonald is the only buffer against the evil genius, Michael Fedele.

Fedele would be a better Governor than DeStefano.
