Politics, Local and National
Submitted by Aldon Hynes on Thu, 09/16/2004 - 13:54Yesterday, I spent a bit of time updating LocalPols, my site listing good local politicians around the country, including a clickable map of the State Senate races.
Today, I received an email from the DCCC pointing to an article in The Stakeholder about my local congressman. It presents some good review of how close Shays has really been to Tom Delay.
I've been doing what I can to help the Diane Farrell for Congress campaign, including making turf maps.

Random Stuff
Submitted by Aldon Hynes on Wed, 09/15/2004 - 15:12It has been a slow day. I've been watching reports of Hurricane Ivan on the Weather Channel and I've spent a bit of time updating my list of local political candidates to reflect recent endorsements. (My wife has been endorsed by the Connecticut AFL-CIO.)
I've also been busy creating more turf maps for Diane Farrell's campaign.. On the job front leads, keep showing up, but nothing substantial yet.

I'm not sure how she found my site, but she did provide a link back to her site. When I looked, the most recent entry was Stuff: A Portrait. Do yourself a favor and go out and read that entry.
She ends it off with, "Only put off until tomorrow what you are willing to die having left undone." - Pablo Picasso

Running out the clock

There is an old joke that goes something like this. One person asks, “What is the secret to being a successful comedienne?” Before the first person completes the question, the second interrupts yelling, “Timing!” It seems as if timing is becoming a cruel joke that is being used more and more often to deny people their rights.
I’m not a big sports fan, but I’ve watched enough football and basketball to hear commentators talking about controlling the clock. The clock has been carefully used to suppress the rights of U.S. citizens.
