Why can't politicians tell us of their plans?
September 2, 2010
The problem with political ads is that they never give the audience an opportunity to know what the candidate is specifically going to do when he or she gets in office.
It would serve the public better and make members of the public more...
Foolish to not properly use our U.S. military
September 2, 2010
After watching the new movie, "Restrepo," I must say that if Secretary of Defense Robert Gates really wants to save the military's money, get rid of all the contractors who are overpaid who work on military bases and ports and replace them with...
Heartening to see light shining on nuke power

I get bombarded with Oh, if Glenn Beck only practiced what he preached at his self-promotional event in Washington, D.C., he would have to be a monk in a monastery. You can't blame Glenn Beck for still allying himself with all the clowns at Faux News. After... This summer, our community enjoyed another successful Waterford Week celebration. We were fortunate to have many volunteers who donated countless hours to provide our residents with fun-filled entertainment and events. This year, as in the... Glenn Beck's so-called "Take back America" speech might have well have been titled, "Take back white America." Rather than respect the hallowed ground where Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. gave his "I Have a Dream" speech 47 years ago - marching,... On Aug. 24, Troy Anthony Davis, a man I consider innocent, was once again placed on death row. Troy Davis has spent 19 years on death row after being convicted in the murder of Savannah police officer Mark MacPhail and the shooting of... Linda McMahon spent $22 million on her campaign before the Republican primary. She sent me plenty of literature before this primary, and I'm a registered Democrat. This was a waste of her money. If elected, will she waste Connecticut's... I wonder if the Anti-Defamation League is aware of Leonard Dinnerstein's important book, "Anti-Semitism in America," which describes the public attitude toward Jewish immigration just 100 years ago in terms that might be compared to Islamophobia... Recently, at the New London train station, a kind attendant helped my elderly friend across the tracks in his wheelchair. As they waited for the train, I came along, pushing my friend's walker and luggage with one hand while holding my... I can't believe that any television time was given to the mother of the man who killed eight people at a Manchester beer distribution company, just so that she can throw around the race card. There have been so many negative remarks regarding the work done on East Main Street that I thought it might be refreshing to look at the other side of the coin. If the Muslim religion is as loving and peaceful as its members and supporters claim, its leaders would not be insisting that a mosque be built so close to the site where the World Trade Center once stood. The turkey dinner that the Gardner Lake firehouse put on Aug. 21 was excellent. The department helped with the parking, the line went in orderly fashion and the plates were filled with turkey, potatoes, green beans, stuffing, cranberry and rolls. The Norwich Human Services Safety Net Team's 2010 "Back Pack It To School Program" provided new backpacks and school supplies to 720 underprivileged Norwich children to begin the new school year, thanks to the generosity of our community. In January the U.S. Supreme Court reversed 100 years of precedence by ruling that corporations could spend unlimited money in support of candidates or issues. This 5-4 vote thus became the law of the land, reversible only by a constitutional... As the founder and a life trustee of the Connecticut River Museum, I naturally feel almost a propriety interest in the museum. Thus, upon learning of the fire that could have totally destroyed the buildings and the extensive collections, I felt...Where is response from McMahon?
September 1, 2010
e-mails from Linda McMahan's campaign looking for support, but when I respond to them asking for her position on issues I get nothing in return. I have returned no less than five e-mails to her campaign, beginning...Beck shows there's no accounting for taste
