If you've ever wondered why politicians often tell gargantuous lies even though the truth is so easily revealed, you're really going to be scratching your head on this one. At a ceremony honoring veterans and senior citizens who sent presents to soldiers overseas, Connecticut Attorney General and Democratic Senate Candidate Richard Blumenthal said, "We have learned something important since the days that I served in Vietnam." He may be right about learning something but Mr. Blumenthal never served in Vietnam.

Although the gentleman is a liar, that’s not the worst of it. Mr. Blumenthal is technological nincompoop.
He’s still living in a bygone age when every word a politician said wasn’t broadcast around the world in a flash.
He’s incredibly careless and ignorant to think that he wouldn’t certainly get caught.

I went to a shop in BA that had the most interesting collection of military paraphernalia - old old guns and other weapons, intricate uniforms, things a calvary would need, helmets - some that looked like they were worn by Otto von Bismark because they had metal crosses on the top. It was really fascinating.

The local news says he is showing up with supporters somewhere tomorrow.
I bet at the airport when our CT service men and woman come back from their service. This could be interesting/a shame.

"Until 1918, Connecticut was the second largest producer of peaches in the country too."
So I assume that Georgia is the largest producer of peaches. You are right, there still are a lot of arms manufacturers in Conneticut. I don't understand why someone like Colt still stays there and manufactures when the state itself is so anti gun. Then again, there are a lot of firearms manufacturers in Illinois and they are a bunch of gun grabbers.
