I’m embarrassed for West Hartford….
Twenty minutes reading CT News Junkie would educate them better than 200 “I have an adorable family AND I want to **put Connecticut back to work again!** AND the other guy is an ***hole” TV ads.

True, Martha H. But the ads on the sidebar are what make it possible for CT News Junkie to stay in business.
So bring ‘em on!

I know. I know. Dan Malloy is watching me as I type this (“Hey, Danny. Nice hair.”), and just above him is Denise Merrill who appears to be giving me the evil eye (What’s she hiding in that right hand of hers, anyway?) All the Lamonts and Malloys have shoved Fedele/Boughton further down the page; the Repubs appear distracted as they stare off the website into the ocean waves of my screen’s wallpaper. (“Have a swim, fellas. I don’t mind. Been a wicked hot summer.”)
Blessedly, they are all silent.
