Coulter Votes Simmons

Ann Coulter, universally despised by left wing Democrats, became a bit cuddlier when she demanded in one of her columns that Linda McMahon, the Republican nominee for the U.S. Senate go back to wrestling, her spot on the ticket to be taken by Rob Simmons, who stopped campaigning officially after the Republican nomination convention folded its tent.

Coulter has called upon Sarah Palin, whose relationship with the Tea Party Patriot movement remains strong, to rally to Simmons’s side. In Connecticut, part of the movement seems to be drifting in Peter Schiff’s direction. The likelihood of Palin supporting Simmons is remote. But following Coulter’s column, it may now be safe for the Connecticut resident to return to UConn or Canada as a public speaker.

The odd thing is how she reveals herself as a partisan, rather than an idealogue in this instance... Not that Linda McMahon's the poster child for the conservative movement, but Rob Simmons' is about as right wing as Arlen Specter.

Perceptive of you to notice. Coulter lives here, but her understanding of Simmons may be deficient. The remedy for that is to read plenty of Dowd Muska columns. He’s now working for McMahon. I think the left is underestimating her.

The left’s take on the malefactors of great wealth here is interesting, don’t you think? Their distaste for the moneyed class has become little more than a nervous tick since the Democratic Party began to sweep the denizens of Wall Street into their web. In Fairfield County, Democrats outnumber Republicans. And Democrats have for a long while been hauling in more dough from the rich folk they plan to plunder than Republicans. I suppose McMahon is wealthier than Blumenthal, but beyond a certain point it just doesn’t matter. The McMahon’s earned theirs; Blumenthal married his. And it becomes inconvenient to slay McMahon with the money knife if at the same time you deliver a death stab to Blumie. One must tread very carefully here. I’d value your opinion about this.
What is Coulter's problem with Peter Schiff?

TRBA,

She thinks Simmons can more readily defeat Blumenthal. I don't know that she has a problem with Schiff. His primary challenge may be in trouble though. He might not have assembled enough proper signatures on his petitions. That petition drive was poorly organized.

The Blumenthal Burisma Connection

Steve Hilton , a Fox News commentator who over the weekend had connected some Burisma corruption dots, had this to say about Connecticut U.S. Senator Dick Blumenthal’s association with the tangled knot of corruption in Ukraine: “We cross-referenced the Senate co-sponsors of Ed Markey's Ukraine gas bill with the list of Democrats whom Burisma lobbyist, David Leiter, routinely gave money to and found another one -- one of the most sanctimonious of them all, actually -- Sen. Richard Blumenthal."

Powell, the JI, And Economic literacy

Powell, Pesci Substack The Journal Inquirer (JI), one of the last independent newspapers in Connecticut, is now a part of the Hearst Media chain. Hearst has been growing by leaps and bounds in the state during the last decade. At the same time, many newspapers in Connecticut have shrunk in size, the result, some people seem to think, of ad revenue smaller newspapers have lost to internet sites and a declining newspaper reading public. Surviving papers are now seeking to recover the lost revenue by erecting “pay walls.” Like most besieged businesses, newspapers also are attempting to recoup lost revenue through staff reductions, reductions in the size of the product – both candy bars and newspapers are much smaller than they had been in the past – and sell-offs to larger chains that operate according to the social Darwinian principles of monopolistic “red in tooth and claw” giant corporations. The first principle of the successful mega-firm is: Buy out your predator before he swallows

Down The Rabbit Hole, A Book Review

Down the Rabbit Hole How the Culture of Corrections Encourages Crime by Brent McCall & Michael Liebowitz Available at Amazon Price: $12.95/softcover, 337 pages   “ Down the Rabbit Hole: How the Culture of Corrections Encourages Crime ,” a penological eye-opener, is written by two Connecticut prisoners, Brent McCall and Michael Liebowitz. Their book is an analytical work, not merely a page-turner prison drama, and it provides serious answers to the question: Why is reoffending a more likely outcome than rehabilitation in the wake of a prison sentence? The multiple answers to this central question are not at all obvious. Before picking up the book, the reader would be well advised to shed his preconceptions and also slough off the highly misleading claims of prison officials concerning the efficacy of programs developed by dusty old experts who have never had an honest discussion with a real convict. Some of the experts are more convincing cons than the cons, p
