Observations - November 2006

NOVEMBER 18, 2006 --

Time for The Squeezed to Organize ...

New York Times guest columnist Thomas B. Edsall suggested, November 18, that Democrats are following the medieval practice of an alliance between the haves and have nots as the way to keep the people on top -- on top.

This suggests that the people in the middle, squeezed by top and bottom, are in the Republican party. Accordingly,
the Dems are our Party of the Haves and the Have nots; the Republicans our Party of The Squeezed.

LPR Observes …

Don't put a damper on the Connecticut Agricultural Fair


Rain doesn't wash away smiles at the Connecticut Agricultural Fair


NOVEMBER 10, 2006 --

LPR Wonders ...

… if Joe Lieberman joins the Senate Democratic caucus but votes on key issues with Republicans so that Vice President Cheney can break the 50-50 tie?

… if President Bush is more relaxed with Democrats as the majority in Congress?

… if Republicans will ever learn that for
Congressional Democrats bipartisanship means "my way or the highway"?


NOVEMBER 10, 2006 --

LPR Predicts …

… by January 1, 2007, Congressional Democrats will have made it clear to everybody except the media, head-in-sand Republicans and zealous leftists, that when they call on people to get along, they mean -- fall in line and follow their command; when they call for bi-partisanship, they are telling Republicans to yield to their dictates; when they talk about civil liberties, they include their liberty to act arbitrarily.


NOVEMBER 10, 2006 --

Progressive Political Projection …

When a political progressive (euphemism for political oppressive) denounces a conservative, 9.8 times out of ten, the
accusation describes conduct of the accuser.


NOVEMBER 10, 2006 --

Isn't This Interesting?

Talk radio conservatives are finally noticing that Republicans are helpless and hopeless in dealing with the demagoguery of leftists.


NOVEMBER 10, 2006 --

How About Federalist 57?

Liberal letter writers to The New York Times say it is time we went back to the political basics.


NOVEMBER 10, 2006 --

Our Facing Left Media …

Am waiting for Howard Kurtz -- who acknowledged the media roots for the left (this Washington Post writer said it was because they want to see conflict, but as Rush Limbaugh suggested, is it the
role of journalists to root for any side for any reason?) -- to assert that although the election choices of his paper and The New York Times mainly were followed by "D" (as in Democrat) the media is not
slanted towards the left.


NOVEMBER 10, 2006 --

Sen. Clinton -- what about those "White House coffees"?

With respect to your call for officials to listen to the people and not to "special interests" your husband said the same thing, basically, in his first Inaugural Address.


NOVEMBER 10, 2006 --

Make your fortune; go into politics?

Senator Clinton, a follow-up question: did you and your husband make big bucks before going into politics, or, as in the case of Lyndon B. and Ladybird Johnson -- after.

Keep the Connecticut Agricultural Fair Going …

LPR noticed an article on Yahoo News, October 29 about a fried treat that uses Coca-Cola and strawberry syrup in the
batter, and was a hit at the Texas state fair. The article quoted a Coca Cola executive as stating that fairs and festivals are "celebrations."

LPR hopes that the Connecticut State Grange, supported by grangers across Connecticut and others outside the state, will find a way to keep the Connecticut Agricultural Fair going and, thereby, let this celebration of Americana in Connecticut continue.

Governor Rell, please note.

Crowd at the 2006 Connecticut Agricultural Fair applauds Main Stage performer Richie Havens.

Ad Agencies Please Note …

This young woman -- so far as LPR is aware -- does not appear in commercials or ads -- YET.


NOVEMBER 1, 2006 --

Doesn't it seem …

… that liberals are far more concerned about how we treat jihadists than what happened to the Branch Davidians, near Waco?
