Forget Truth, Reality — Ignorance Can Work
The Hartford CourantYou never know. This (or any) moment could be the time you hear the snap of the umbilical cord connecting us to the notions of fact, empirical truth and the Enlightenment. You remember the Enlightenment. It got rolling around 300 years ago. Up until...Tags: Music, Karl Rove, John Adams, Beyonce, Manti Te'o

Where The Paranoid And Delusional Network, The Truth Disappears

Kennedy Assassination (1963)

I mentioned in...Tags: Harry Reid, Politics, U.S. Congress, Slavery, Career and Workplace

For Year That Was Hoppin', Some Stylish Name-Droppin'
The Hartford CourantOur revels aren't stinting; our cheers are not feeble. It's time to ring in the new year with Oz Griebel. How to play Auld Lang Syne with no Guy Lombardo? It won't sound the same sung by Nancy DiNardo. And who's at the doorbell? It's Michael Fedele,...Tags: Fava Beans, Bushnell Park, Martha Dean

Lieberman's Farewell Marred By Compromise

Arnold Dean: A Kinder, Gentler Era Of Sports Talk
The Hartford CourantArnold Dean never called himself the "Dean of Sports." It was radio hucksterism, it was presumptuous, and he knew it. If the three-word brainchild of a station producer was to be his legacy, well, it would be an orphan from his lips.

Searching The Ballot For Worthy Republicans
The Hartford CourantLet me tell you something you don't know about me. I'm itchin' to vote for a Republican. This is really true.

Or...Tags: Politics, Elections, Tom Foley, Democratic Party, Martha Dean

UConn Salary Bloat Wins National Notice

State Fiscal Crisis Needs Sex Appeal
The Hartford CourantWe have some kind of looming fiscal crisis here in Connecticut, but I don't know much about it because a) it is not a cliff and b) it is not as interesting as other things I could conceivably know about. On the first point, I blame whoever started...Tags: Ben Barnes, FBI, Eric Cantor, The New York Times, Computing and Information Technology Industry

McMahon's Boat Sinks Into Sea Of Millionaires
The Hartford CourantTake a moment to feel sorry for me. My stock in trade is making fun of ridiculous politicians. I lost Linda McMahon and Joe Lieberman in one night. Guys like Chris Murphy are bad for business. If he gets Quicken installed on his laptop, he's probably...Tags: Real Estate, Politics, Waterbury, Elections, Services and Shopping

Malloy's Softer Side Struggling To Get Free
The Hartford CourantCan Sandy help Dan? Before the latest storm struck, the approval rating of Gov. Dannel P. Malloy had crept up to 45 percent, vs. 41 percent who disapprove of his job performance. That was an Oct. 24 Quinnipiac poll, and it was an epic head-above-water...Tags: Chris Christie, Government, Politics, Dyslexia, Joe Lieberman
