New Haven Independent : A day after U.S. Sen. Joe Lieberman declared himself a "devoted Democrat" on national TV , peace activists in his hometown of New Haven asked the local registrar of voters Monday afternoon to strip him of his party affiliation because of his third-party reelection bid against party-endorsed Ned Lamont. Some two dozen activists, camera crews and reporters squeezed into the narrow entry to the second-floor Registrar of Voters office to present their request to Ferrucci. Ferrucci said she wasn’t familiar with the law. In a friendly encounter with the surprise crowd in her office, Ferrucci promised, "I will read it and get back to you" within 48 hours or sooner. The activists cited Section 9-61 of Chapter 143 of the state statutes in their request. That section allows for a Democrat’s party affiliation to be "stricken or excluded" for two years if he runs for office as a candidate of a different party. Peace activists, huh? Someone sh...

So I hear a bunch of scientists at the International Astronomical Union voted to kick Pluto out of the list of planets. See, that’s the first problem. Voting. So what if people voted? Maybe Pluto WANTED to stay a planet. Doesn’t anyone care what Pluto wants in all of this? The New Horizons spacecraft will flyby Pluto in 2015. Perhaps we should wait until then to make this decision so we know how the little planet really feels. That’s what really matters, not a bunch of el...

CT-SEN Polling UpdateFrom: liebermania.blogspot.com

After the primary, I kind of felt down in the dumps. I’ll admit it. I felt like John Travolta probably did when he was making Look Who’s Talking Too . You know, like "Why me?" and "Has my life really sunk this low?" But then, some new polls were released, and everything changed. I was ahead in every poll! I felt like I was on top of the world once again. I felt like I had made a comeback reminiscent of John Travolta’s with Pulp Fiction! Thankfully Hadassah hasn’t ...
