Ned's Big Surprise

Come on, Ned! I have a lot on my plate. Rob Simmons scooped me on Lee Elci’s show (94.9FM) with his discussion Thursday about Syria, so that post has to wait for next week. But Syria probably would have had to wait anyway now that we know that the outer-space aliens are acting up. Didn’t you see the FOIA dump a week or so ago? I’ve only read a couple of hundred pages, but apparently aliens are popping the hood on their saucers by the side of the road to make repairs and shooting laser guns at poor souls stopping to help. Well, I guess that’s more proof that no good deed goes unpunished. Meanwhile, Luis Elizando, the government UAP whistleblower, has gone from nattily-dressed spokesperson last year to disheveled guest on podcasts hosted by beings who look odder than the aliens.

So why mess up my schedule by making a surprise visit to Lee’s studio this morning? You happened to be in the neighborhood, on the way to or from something in Norwich, and happened to arrive just before Bob Stefanowski’s weekly segment? Ahhh . . . ok. After you left the studio, I heard on the news that you had something on yesterday at the Norwich YMCA. Now I get it. Being a man of the people and not wanting to waste gas, you slept at the Y last night. Or maybe I heard wrong, and you came from Hartford to Norwich, via Ledyard . . . GPS in the limo on the fritz? Get that fixed ASAP! It reflects poorly on all of us to have our governor bumbling around the state like the Griswolds looking for the world’s biggest ball of string.

Look, Ned, your kamikaze radio attack fizzled before hitting a deck. Lee was unflappable, and you were so unprepared. Your foundered about for a few painful minutes, lamely attempting to deflect the dreaded Biden effect, and then you tried to hand out candy. Look, if that’s what you wanted to do, maybe you should have called Courtney for pointers. He’s a master at it. But, no, you blurted out that you might cut some taxes and fees in July. Oh, so Connecticut needs the money, as your party claims by taxing us, but you will suspend some taxes when you and other members of your party are running for reelection. Believe me, we all understand.

So, Governor, I’m forced to point out that once again your advisors didn’t serve you very well. Why would they let you make a “spontaneous” visit to 94.9 and let you say whatever was in your heart, seeing as there was so little in it today? Ned, you really need to send those staffers to Biden’s handlers for lessons. Those poor guys in DC do a decent job, considering what they have to work with. In fact, I believe they should get hazardous duty pay. They could break a leg stumbling around in those bunny costumes.
