When the chickens come home to roost as they eventually do it’s a safe bet that you don’t want to be sitting under the roost. So, I’m cringing as I think about how our debt habit is finally starting to hurt us in ways that really count. What’s going to get cut? Who’s going to get hurt? And will we learn the larger lesson about the borrower being the servant to the lender?
There’s lots of misery to go around, apparently.
Courthouses: Will the Derby courthouse close? Local businesses would suffer, other courthouses which already lack space would have to pick up the slack. (story)
Nursing Homes: “Representatives for Connecticut’s nursing homes are warning that budget cuts proposed by Gov. M. Jodi Rell and the legislature’s Democratic leaders could cost thousands of jobs at facilities across the state, and might plunge currently stable facilities for the elderly into financial peril.” (story)
It’s not only the State of course, but towns are varied as Greenwich and Hartford that are seeking ways to cut expenditures, raise taxes or both.
The next shoe to drop: commercial real estate.
Continue to pray for the Governor and all our State legislators.

In 1747, Jonathan Edwards joined the movement started in Scotland called the “concert in prayer,” and in the same year published An Humble Attempt to Promote Explicit Agreement and Visible Union of God’s People in Extraordinary Prayer for the Revival of Religion and the Advancement of Christ’s Kingdom on Earth.
His key passage was Zech. 8:20-22: “This is what the LORD Almighty says: “Many peoples and the inhabitants of many cities will yet come, and the inhabitants of one city will go to another and say, ‘Let us go at once to entreat the LORD and seek the LORD Almighty. I myself am going.’ And many peoples and powerful nations will come to Jerusalem to seek the LORD Almighty and to entreat him.”

The following video shows protesters in Hartford, mostly supporting Hamas if we are to judge by appearances.
What is truly appalling is the reaction of a woman (named Levy, no less) who apparently says there was no point in Jews having survived Hitler’s concentration camps to come out into the world and behave in this fashion. Watch for this at 2:00 into the video. I had to watch this several times to be sure I saw what I saw.
What is sadly ironic here is that Hitler’s Final Solution was worsened through the instigation of a man we might nowadays call a radical jihadist, Amin al-Husseini, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem.
Who was al-Husseini? He was a godfather of the modern pan-Islamic movement which seeks to destroy Israel (and Jews) today – and did so long before 1967, or 1948. Few are aware of the Nazi-Islamic connection during World War II. Al-Husseini was known to have personally urged Hitler and his underlings to liquidate the Jews. Evidence is abundant as to this fact and even Wikipedia has published a picture of a 1943 telegram from Himmler to the Grand Mufti in which he lauds the Mufti’s efforts:
‘To the Grand Mufti: The National Socialist [Nazi] movement of Greater Germany has, since its inception, inscribed upon its flag the fight against the world Jewry. It has therefore followed with particular sympathy the struggle of freedom-loving Arabs, especially in Palestine, against Jewish interlopers. In the recognition of this enemy and of the common struggle against it lies the firm foundation of the natural alliance that exists between the National Socialist Greater Germany and the freedom-loving Muslims of the whole world. In this spirit I am sending you on the anniversary of the infamous Balfour declaration my hearty greetings and wishes for the successful pursuit of your struggle until the final victory.’ Reichsfuehrer S.S. Heinrich Himmler
Yugoslavia sought to indite the Mufti as a war criminal for his role in raising 20,000 Muslim S.S. troops to kill Jews in Central Europe.
A convicted and executed Nazi war criminal was quoted as saying:
The Mufti was one of the initiators of the systematic extermination of European Jewry and had been a collaborator and advisor of Eichmann and Himmler in execution of this plan…He was one of Eichmann’s best friends and had constantly incited him to accelerate the extermination measures. I heard him say, accompanied by Eichmann, he had visited incognito the gas chamber of Auschwitz.
It is time for people to realize what they are really doing when they support Hamas: they are supporting an ideology that wishes to replicate the tactics – and the results – of al-Husseini… and Hitler.
…and Diane Smith, according to this article in the Courant. Is this more evidence of the decline of Old Media or an attempt to do something else, which would be to slightly de-politicize the station, perhaps?
Steve Salhany, operations manager at [parent company] CBS Radio/Hartford, said the new lineup was intended to help provide listeners with the political and economic information they need, as well as a vehicle to voice their opinions on important issues.
“We believe increasing our live news coverage and providing listeners with more ways to interact with the station is the right direction for WTIC to be moving as we all look for ways to better adapt to the changing business environment,” Salhany said.
I’ll be curious to see what Ms. Smith and Mr. McEnroe do next. In particular I’m tempted to think McEnroe will fare quite well on his own should he wish to develop his own punditry brand. I think he needs to go out and register colinmcenroe.com before someone squats on it.
Proximity to New York may be making Greenwich the capital of gay marriage in the area, just as it made Greenwich the Powerball Mecca a few years back.
Since Nov. 12, when a state judge gave the final go-ahead for gay marriage, 26 same-sex couples have been married in Greenwich. That is more than the number married in any of the state’s four largest cities, according to data obtained from vital records officials. Seven gay marriages have taken place in Bridgeport; 16 in Hartford, 17 in Stamford and 20 in New Haven. Of the couples married in Greenwich, all but two were from out of state. Fifteen came from the New York City area; three from Long Island; two from Westchester County; one from New Jersey; and one each from Chicago, North Carolina and Kentucky.
Chicago, North Carolina and Kentucky?
I take it back. At this rate Greenwich may become the Las Vegas of gay marriage.
