Out with '06, in with '07...my resolution? To try and post a little but more.
Today the first female Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi took her step into the history books. The 110th Congress began with an opening act filled with promises of civility and bi-partisanship. However, it is my opinion that the 110th Congress will prove to be one of the most divided sessions in recent history. The 2006 elections saw the defeat of many "moderate" New England Republicans in the House and Senate. With a lack of centrists in their ranks, the hard right members of the GOP will have more sway. The Conservative Minority will find little common ground with the moderate to liberal Democratic caucus that swept itself into power last November. If only we lived in Washington, DC we could get a better look of what promises to be an interesting session of Congress.
However, my very own wishes of moving down south were put on reserve this evening as I drove through our very own town of Darien. No matter what your political beliefs, the downtown has improved for the better over the past few years. Driving by lots that promise Brooks Brothers, Panera, and Ole Mole (just to name a few) made thefederalist smile about all that is to come. A new senior center, a new library, and possibly a Whole Foods all show just how much our town is progressing, not to mention the great new Darien High School that opened last Fall. While all the cameras are tuned in to the DC action, on January 4th, 2007, this federalist is happy he lives in Darien, Connecticut!
thefederalist hopes you all had a great Christmas and wishes you all the best in 2007.

Sunday must have been high school day on this blog. "Eat me." How profound.
So what does the Federalist think of Charter Revision? The Federalist generally has interesting opinions about town government, so what, if anything, do you think needs to be changed?
I, for one, would like to know.

Tuesday must have been point out the obvious day.
Yeah--really took some incite and thinking out side the box to identify "eat me" as "profound."
Keep up the great work!!

Guess we will hear back in Sept/Oct for the Federalist to pass some bull about Evonne's Republican opponent.
