The Man Who Would Be King

Speaker of the House Jim Amann is retiring to pursue the Governorship. Normally I welcome liberals tilting at windmills but this time less so. His most likely replacement Rep. Chris Donovan of Meriden has a resume that strikes fear in to the hearts of taxpayers through out the land.

CT Congress peoples are promising to “look into” the Air Force’s […]

This is the story of a woman trying to work her way out of poverty for son and herself. But unwittingly she finds herself in a worse position for having taken a job that gave her a 40% pay raise. Normally this would raise one’s standard of living considerably, however for this person […]
