Tuesday Morning Dept of Special Electioning

August 25th, 2009 · 21 Comments

Got a fancy, random voicemail from 203-685-0337 last night saying, “Should have known better!” Isn’t that cute? Jon Draud is back again. Hot Wheels himself.

Kimberly Greenwell, Embarrassing House Candidate

August 24th, 2009 · 16 Comments

You know, I’ve said repeatedly that Kimberly Greenwell would be an absolute embarrassment of a candidate. Now that she’s running for the Democratic nod in the 33rd State House District, I’m putting my money where my mouth is.

Oh Snap Monday! I’ve Returned to Wreak Havoc

August 24th, 2009 · 20 Comments
