Eric Crowley for Windham Mayor

Peter Quercia and the sign issue is the perfect microcosm of the larger problems in Windham, which the two other parties are simply incapable to solving. Even when a solution is easy, they screw it up. Peter Quercia that can do a job, a better job, a job that will last for decades and at the same time preserve what should be treasured relics from Windham’s heyday. He can also do it for a hellava lot less of the taxpayer's bread.

And what is the response to this Godsend from the Democrats and the so-called Bottom Line Party?

Democrat mayorial candidate Dawn Niles and the First Selectman Jean De Smet issue Quercia a cease and desist order.

Similiarly Republican Mayorial candidate Eric Crowley is a smart young man can do a smarter, better job than these two old timers because of the very fact there is so much Crowley hasn't learned that isn't true. There are new better ways to do things and electing Crowley will be the smartest thing Windham voters have done in a very long time.

It was no less than Albert Einstein that said that the very definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.

Windham will continue to sink in disfuntion until voters grab their collective trusty broom and sweep the crusty old ineffective incumbents into the dustbin of history.

It’s high time for new people to chart a new course for Winham.

Enough is enough. Eric Crowley should be our next mayor.

Dear Chase Credit Card

I just got off the phone with two of your representatives. I questioned why you people would charge me a $17.07 finance fee when I paid off the balance (almost 1000 dollars) last month.

I paid on time and the representatives didn’t dispute that the bill was paid in full and on time.

They insisted I still owed you $17.07 to hold a zero balance. They told me that you people charge interest daily even on bills paid on time, but I don’t understand why last month’s statement did not include last month’s interest. This is a shell game with no pea.

I just got off the phone with a representative from my Bank of America credit and she said that if I paid off my balance today with them that there would not be any reason to charge me interest on a zero balance. She assured me I would get no bill next month for a finance charge as you did with me.

Why is it that Bank of America can some how figure out how to charge me interest in such a way that my statement reflects accurately what I owe them in a given month and you can not?

I asked your representatives that this bullshit charge be taken off. Given the money you people have made off of me, with your rip-off interest rates, I did not think this was too much to ask. Your representative and her supervisor did not agree.

Therefore I want this account closed.

I am paying your $17.07 bullshit charge and it will be the last you get from me unless of course you have other sneaky charges and fees you want to apply before my account is closed

I am posting this letter on Facebook and my blog so my family and friends know how you do business. If they have accounts with you, I am advising them to close theirs as well.

Ray Hackett Cancels Election

For the Second Time veteran Bulletin Editor Ray Hackett has called off an election.

According to Hackett the Democrat primary will decide the next Governor. If you thought you were going to have a say, watch a debate, maybe cast a vote for your choice than you were sadly mistaken. It’s over unless you are a Democrat. Your voter card is null and void.

Ray Hackett has made a ruling and if you don’t like it than that’s just to bad.

Evidently the Democrats in the legislature will be overturning the Constitution and crowning the incumbent Democrats. Rell likely will say she disagrees with that but will let the law abolishing elections go into effect without her signature. She will however purse her lips un-approvingly and wag her finger.

Back on August 22nd – 15 months away from the election in November 2010 – Mr. Hackett said the Republicans have no hope on defeating Bulletin Buddy Joe Courtney.

Hackett wrote that very few people could name Courtney’s opponent. Well there is a reason for that of course – he doesn’t have an opponent yet. Courtney himself will not even be nominated until next summer – assuming he decides to run and does not have a primary. What’s more how many people can name Joe Courtney as their congressman? The man has gone into hiding since the furor erupted over the nationalized healthcare. He held one meeting! One! The majority of the people are not happy with what is going on in D.C.

Courtney’s name-rec is not all that wonderful as noted by Ed Munster at the last 2nd Congressional Convention here in Windham. Tellingly on Youtube the Bulletin was doing an interview with their favorite Congressman and it was so long they had to do it in twelve segments. As of right now the first video has been viewed 195 times. Part two has only been viewed 34 times.

Think about that for a moment. What explains that huge drop off? The last one was only viewed just 15 times and the Bulletin staff probably accounts for half of that.

What this disinterest tells me is that people are not interested in what Courtney has to say. That does not bode well for his chances of keeping his job.

It just amazes me that someone who is touted having seen it all twice can say that Joe Courtney is a shoo-in when there has been such a rebuke of Congress over issue after issue but particularly over Obama’s plan to takeover healthcare.

People are afraid that their coverage will be taken away. Seniors are afraid that funds that are presently used on them will be diluted so the government to cover 20 year olds. Dick Morris said they have good reason to be scared to death and evidently ace reporter Ray Hackett is unaware that seniors do tend to vote in elections.

Mr. Hackett’s contention that the election is over before it begins is one born of desperation. The Second Congressional District is always fought over and it has turned over a number of times. Just ask that other Bulletin Buddy Sam Gejdenson about that.

For the record their are currently two (and there may be more coming) candidates for the Republican nomination and they are

Congresswoman Daria Novak

With all due respect to Bulletin Editor Ray Hackett, the election has not been canceled.

I make it a rule not to endorse to early but this lady looks like a winner to me.
