In a highly unscientific survey conducted on this website about local media bias, some expected trends were seen.
The composition of the 27 respondents was heavily Republican. (Does that say something about the readers of OurGreenwich.com?) Republicans comprised 81% of those who responded; 11% identified themselves as Democrats, and 7% as Independent or no party [...]

“Dad! People really live in basements?” my son said in disbelief when he was five or six years old. Thankfully, he waited until we were in the privacy of our car before making the comment, rather than blurting it while in the basement home we had just visited. My son and I were helping to [...]

I was with some smart people yesterday, one or two of whom suggested that they and their friends thought the local media covering Greenwich had a “right leaning” or conservative bias. I was nonplused because I have generally heard the opposite viewpoint — that the local media is left-leaning.
There is much talk of America being [...]

The longest peaceful transition of power in world history – nearly two years – is (thankfully) over. My candidate lost, but this is America, and I will not be led off to prison tomorrow because I supported the losing side.
The networks have declared Barack Obama the 44th President of the United States of America. [...]

I guess “change” has different meanings to different people.
See my blog post earlier today where I mention election problems in Philadelphia. Now go to this link: http://www.breitbart.tv/?p=213103
Looks like nothing’s changed in the City of Brotherly Love.

In the last Presidential election, I was recruited to use my election law background to help try to keep the election honest in Philadelphia. Even though I was a veteran of defending against Election Day fraud in places in New York, nothing prepared me for the blatant transgressions I saw in the City of Brotherly [...]

Apparently Senator Obama’s campaign staff didn’t hear it correctly the candidate’s promise to “make America united.” They must have thought he said make reporters from newspapers that don’t endorse Obama fly American or United.
The Obama campaign has booted from their campaign plane reporters from three newspapers.
Not removed were some people making a documentary (not [...]

While it would have been ideal if all three Greenwich papers endorsed my favorite local candidate, Fred Camillo, I got the next best thing. The one paper which did not endorse Fred fully, gave me and a few others enough time to have published in their paper rebuttals to their editorial.
As a partisan I was [...]

Drafted into the Catholic Church at birth, I attended “boot camp” for a dozen years of parochial school, considered “officer candidate school” (i.e., a religious vocation), and after a time being AWOL, going on active duty on a daily basis about my faith around age 30.
Over the decades since, I have heard a few [...]
