Blog Reviews

Yesterday, I was pleased to receive a review of the blog from Sigmund, Carl and Alfred. Having a little knowledge of psychology, I guessed that this was in reference to those three great psychologists, Sigmund Foulkes, Carl Rogers, and Alfred E. Newman. I was surprised to find that it is really a reference to Sigmund Freud, Carl Jung, Alfred Adler, three other great psychologists.

December 2004 Fairfield County DFA Meetup Report

Wednesday, December 1st, at the Silver Star Diner in Norwalk, we had one of the best DFA Meetups we have had in a long time. Many old friends from the days of Gov. Dean’s 2004 Presidential campaign were there, as were friends from the Kerry Meetups and from some of the local political parties.

Since I am also listed as the organizer for the Farrell for Congress Meetup, which is probably ending now that the campaign is over, and the Democratic Party Meetup, I rescheduled those Meetups to take place at the same time as the DFA Meetup to help build bridges.

Diner Democrats

(Originally published in Greater Democracy)

Diner Democrats don’t want to be leaders. They don’t want to go to Washington. They believe in representational democracy and want to get good Representatives in Washington. Diner Democrats don’t even really want to be involved in political campaigns. If they have to, they will, and they will do a great job, because Diner Democrats are doers. They get things done.

Diner Democrats get involved in politics because they have to, because there is something important that needs to get done, that no one else is dealing with. They need to see that a park gets fixed or a bike path goes in.
