The women were handcuffed and led off for an appearance before a New Haven magistrate in answer to indictments handed down on Tuesday by a Grand Jury following months...

Yesterday afternoon Governor Dannel P. Malloy signed legislation repealing the death penalty in the state of Connecticut. Effective immediately the Nutmeg State becomes the 17th state to abolish capital punishment, replacing it with life in prison without the possibility of parole.

"If I had a business executive come to me and say I want to spend a few hundred billion dollars to put a colony on the moon ... I'd say, you're fired!" ~ Mitt Romney (to Newt Gingrich )

Last night's Former Speaker of the House, Newt Gingrich, prematurely threw down the gauntlet challenging President Obama to seven, three-hour Lincoln-Douglas style debates. Gingrich, who seems obsessed with endurance polemic, proposes that each moderator free debate would be three hours in length. The first man would speak for one hour,...

Political scandal and corruption have become so commonplace as to be scarcely newsworthy. The approval ratings of our federal legislators hover at about 40 to 45 percent with the Republicans currently holding a sliver of a lead over their slightly less popular colleagues on the other side of the...

In the beginning there was Atwater. Atwater begot Rove. Rove begot Howell.

Christopher Dodd's Senate seat may well be in play for the Republicans this November.

As recently as a week ago, Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal, a well respected Democrat, held a virtually unassailable lead...

Connecticut's game of campaign musical chairs was set in motion by Governor Jodi Rell's decision to not seek reelection in 2010. The surprising news was followed by Attorney General Richard Blumenthal's announcement that he plans to run for Sen. Chris Dodd's (D-Conn.) senate seat. Susan Bysiewicz, currently Connecticut's Secretary of...

The big national news story on Wednesday was that Sen. Chris Dodd (D-Conn.) would not seek reelection for his senate seat, a position he has held for nearly three decades. Waiting in the wings for that cue was Connecticut's well respected Attorney General Richard Blumenthal (D). There was nary a...

Senator Lieberman, since I am not able speak to you in person, I'd like to leave this little pink memo ... perhaps one of your staff would be kind enough to pass it along to you.

This week I've called Senator Lieberman's Washington office several times, to no avail. Admittedly,...

"If the public option is in there, as a matter of conscience, I will not allow this bill to come to a final vote ..." -- Senator Joseph Lieberman

Are we out of time? Has the health care reform, promised to us by Barack Obama in last year's campaign, died the death of a thousand paper cuts?

From where I sit, the president started the whole process with the $80 billion give back to Big Pharma. The...

Hundreds of health care reform rallies took place across the country last Tuesday, in a co-ordinated National Day of Action. I attended such an event held at the world headquarters of Aetna in Hartford Connecticut. Judging by the police presence assembled at the entrance of the grand promenade leading up...

"You lie!" An economy of words, but a liberality of message.

Thank you Joseph Wilson. Last evening, your socially inappropriate phonic tic put a fine point on the bare knuckle brawl that has been raging in the public square. The representative from South Carolina acquitted himself in a style that...

Last night I went to a town hall meeting in West Hartford, Connecticut hosted by first district representative the Honorable John Larsen. I planned to sit in on the health care reform debate inside the auditorium, but the real story, from my perspective, was outside on the granite steps of...

There are so many cleverly crafted, sparkly items on offer. The prices, so low they confound my internal "price to value matrix." Then I see the gnat track sized letters MADE IN CHINA and I drop the item as though it might spontaneously combust in my hands.
