Run Tom, Run


Tom Foley is running for governor of Connecticut, and he may well win. See Tom run. He ran from paying income taxes the past number of years with millions of dollars in income and somehow his tax payments are less than $1000. He ran from giving reporters an answer when it was announced last week that Connecticut had their best month for job growth in 20 years. See Tom run. He ran from explaining why not one, but at least two factories that he bought got closed and jobs got cut while he may tens of millions of dollars in the process. He apparently is running from his last scheduled debate against Gov. Malloy saying he will not honor his commitment to make his appearance as previously planned. See Tom run. And now that we have had our 90th that's right NINETIEH school shooting since  Sandy Hook, he still has run from saying if he will honor the assault weapons ban passed after that tragedy. See Tom run, or should we say run away.

Sad irony

How's this for really sad heartbreaking irony? For the first time in its history the state of Washington is voting on a bill to require background checks for gun purchases. Could they, would they, please now finally???

Where is Foley's accountant?

Patrick Smith writes:

Republican gubernatorial candidate Tom Foley is passionately concerned, as is his party's custom, about balancing the budget of our state. Said budget of course is the expenses that any government must bear versus the taxes that are due. Both components are to a degree discretionary, items the state won't act on and taxes that somehow don't get paid, an ongoing challenge  to all administrations. But there's hope, because if Tom Foley is as good at reducing expenses for Connecticut, as he is at creatively managing his own taxes, given his obvious wealth, we could be in for an interesting actuarial era. And hopefully should he become governor he'll lend the state of Connecticut his accountant.

I Blama Obama


For the breach in White House security, doesn't he know enough to lock his own front door. Seriously after that South American snafu and now this one and now the fact that a person shot seven bullets at the White House and it took them days to notice. So are some members of the Secret Service really are not sure how much they actually want to protect this black president? And why am I getting a Yitzchak Rabin flashback?
