The Schmuck Who May Miss His Dinner
When I heard that there was a movie that came out called “Dinner for Schmucks,” I thought it was the life story of the senior Senator from Connecticut, Joe LIEberman. But someone told me that it wasn’t about him. Oh well.

Looking For A Silver Lining?
Well, I’ve found one.
If Joe Lieberman decides to run for a fifth term in 2012, a new Quinnipiac pollsuggests that it may be a lost cause.
The new poll tests Lieberman as an independent against Democratic Attorney General Richard Blumenthal. The numbers: Blumenthal 58%, Lieberman 30%.Yikes.
Lieberman’s active campaigning against the Democratic Party last year hasn’t won him [...]
