Amazing Word Game

 Did you know the words "race car" spelled backward still spells "race car"?

________________

And the word "eat" is the only word that, if you take the first letter and

move it to the last, spells it's own past tense:      "ate"?

________________

And if you rearrange the letters in "Tea Party Republicans," add just a few letters, it spells:

"Shut the f*** up you pathetic, progress blocking, benefit-grabbing, obstructionist, out-of-the-closet racist, resource-sucking, anti-tax, homophobic, violent hypocrites and mindless non-compromising unrealistic idiots, and deal with the fact that you wrecked the country under Bush and the President of America is BLACK, so get over it you morons!"

Isn't that interesting?

(apologies if you already heard/saw this)

Election in Woodbridge TODAY

It is a little bit baffling to look at the New Haven Register online and see no mention of the election happening today in our area. I am in Chicago today so can't run down to Howe's Drugstore or out to a street newsbox to see if the dead tree version rectifies this with a banner declaring

VOTE TODAY IN WOODBRIDGE! POLLS ARE OPEN! IT IS FREE!!!

PS: Vote for Ellen Scalletar for First Selectman, and the entire Democratic Team on Row B

Grab Your Festive Hats!

Ladies and Gentlemen, Start your Horses!

 Ahhhhh.....May Day tomorrow!

Everyone move to the Left.

 The first Question is:
How can you be in 2 places at once when you aren't anywhere at all?

 
 The Firesign Theatre....well that should take some folks back,
way back,                                  way       way      way      back.

<   Here's Wots Happ'nin' in Hartford

Please Join Us in Calling for and Increase in the Minimum Wage!

Wednesday
May 1st 12:00

CT State Capitol

North Steps

Join Governor Malloy, Lt. Governor Wyman, and faith, labor and legislative leaders as we stand together to call for an increase in Connecticut's minimum wage. 

As low-wage workers fall farther and farther behind, corporate lobbying groups such as ALEC push legislation to scale back wages ever further. Raising the minimum wage isn't just the right thing to do for working families struggling to make ends meet, it helps build a stronger, more stable local economy.
