Ed Krumeich.....He's Baaack!

Today two time loser Ed Krumeich threw his hat in the ring for Selectman. The fact that the Dems need to keep dragging this guy out says something about the state of that party. Meanwhile, the Republicans have more qualified candidates than slots for the BOE, BET and Selectman offices showing the strength and health of the party.

In his announcement Big Ed whined about Peter Tesei's politicization of the Selectman's Advisory Committee. The fact is, Tesei has been blocking its politicization by the Dems. They have been, under Lavery's stewardship, using it to staff Boards and Commissions with liberals who could not otherwise win in a general election. The Committee is what its name indicates...advisory.

In his prior run Krumeich fell short by 132 votes to Dolly Powers who didn't so much as put out a lawn sign. In 2008 Fred Camillo gave him a good old fashioned whooping taking every district. Ed will fall again and hopefully then we will hear the end of this guy.

Quote of the week

I came across this quote today:

"A veteran is someone who, at one point in his life wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America' for an amount of 'up to and including my life.' That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it."

I do not know the origin but its truth is undeniable. It calls to mind Mr. Obama's remarks not far from the beaches of Normandy calling Americans arrogant and derisive. Seems to me our President needs a history lesson.

What The...?

Mr. President what were you thinking?

You clearly do not understand what the people of New York went through on September 11th, 2001. For you and your self centered minions to send Air Force One with fighter jets in tow over the Manhattan skyline for a photo op without any warning shows a clear disconnect. In your arrogance you frightened thousands of people who had witnessed the unspeakable, forcing them to relive that infamous day.

What genius came up with this plan? Will someone be punished? Who was on board? Doesn't the White House have anything better to do? What did this cost?

What were you thinking?! My guess is we will never know....
