I'm the Candyland Champ! East Windsor, Windsor Locks Board of Selectmen, Job Search Help

Here are five things you need to know today.

Good morning, East Windsor and Windsor Locks! Today is Tuesday, March 19, 2013; there are 287 days left in the year.

Friends, I have an 8-year-old stepson and a 9-year-old stepdaughter. And I TOTALLY whacked them at Candyland yesterday.

OK, that's not entirely true. But I did one of the two games we played.

I also learned that you can't talk smack in Candyland, because you could get that gingerbread man card and get sent all the way back to Drury Lane, which is essentially purgatory.

Oh, and I learned the 8-year-old wouldnt't stop playing until he won. Sigh.

Here’s your Daily 5:

1. The East Windsor Board of Selectmen meets tonight at 7 p.m.

2. The Windsor Locks Board of Selectmen meets tonight at 6 p.m.

3. The Windsor Locks Board of Finance is scheduled to meet tonight at 6:30 p.m.

4. Join the Connecticut Historical Society for story time! Children will listen to a story, make a simple craft to take home, and have time to explore our hands-on exhibits.

5. Job Search Support Group in East Windsor at 10 a.m.

Maria, your dismissive and divisive 'analysis' ignores the fact that POTUS is anRead More "executive" position, also "Commander-in-Chief" of the military! O had exactly ZERO "executive" experience, which--along with his anti-business and anti-America views--explains his failures. Mr. Morici's assessment of O's job performance is perfectly pragmatic and relevant, while your doting worship of the "Agitator-in-Chief" is rather pathetic, as well as being irrelevant.

The author of the article quoted endlessly above is Peter Morici, a Professor of InternationalRead More Business at the University of Maryland. I suppose he is to be forgiven if he sees everything through a business lens, after all it has given him a very comfortable livelihood for decades. But it is still a faulty lens on this topic and he should know better.

The CEO analogy is really dumb. Didn't CEO Jamie Dimon at JP Morgan Chase preside over aRead More multi-billion dollar trading loss last year. Didn't a lot of so-called "good" CEOs look the other way while collecting huge bonuses as their banks became insolvent because of unethical and unwise (and possibly illegal) investments in high-risk securities. These truly were management failures that devastated the U.S. economy But the CEO analogy is understandable given that Mr. Morici and his supporters are so enthralled by the corporate state.
