"While the Courant editorially has recently endorsed Republican
presidential candidates, its editorial approach to state government
has traditionally been liberal and opposed to what it considers short
sighted conservatism. Its strong endorsement of former Senator Lowell
Weicker was decisive in the 1990 gubernatorial election. It endorsed
his Lieutenant Governor Eunice Groark in the 1994 election. After
Governor John Rowland abandoned efforts to repeal the state income tax
and endorsed state funded redevelopment of downtown Hartford, he
received the Courant's endorsement for his re-election bids. The
Courant's investigation into his dealings with state contractors was a
major force behind his political demise and resignation from office,
however. In 2006 the Courant reverted to form by endorsing liberal
Democrat John DeStefano, Jr. for Governor.
Following its traditional stance towards supporting expansive state
government, the Courant then strongly endorsed Governor Jodi Rell's
2007 plan to raise the state income tax and exceed the state's
constitutional spending cap."




So? What's the point? And what has this to do with poison ivy?

Harry, this is short-bus logic. It's why special ed teachers aren't paid
anywhere near what it's worth to put up with this gibberish day in and
day out.


What is untrue in what I posted?

Gotta run and will not be back till tomorrow. You have until then to
come up with an answer. You can ask your Dad for help.

BTW: Here is the link to the quote that you conveniently left off.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hartford_Courant



Trip was cancelled so I have time now to review your response.


justwait whoever he is initially suggested that an article about poison
ivy was not to be trusted because the newspaper was biased. He did not
read the article he was referring to.

The wiki thing YOU posted also has nothing to do with the poison ivy
article,

True, but it did have something to say about the HC's consistent lean to the
left, which was a point made previously in the thread. Next time read
slower.


which you did not read.

Did so.

Please read all the messages in the thread before pretending to "help".


I suggest you take yourself up on that advice. ;-)

Time to grade your response: Bzzzzzt. You get an F. Next time have Dad
help you.

Well, if the HC is suggesting that Global Warming is causing changes
in Poison Ivy, I meerely suggest that folks get a second opinon before
stating it as fact. That was my point, you want to fight, go ahead.
Again, I am out of this pee pee contest, I know what I know.

You don't know what you don't know. Everyone agrees that the planet's
getting warmer. The debate is about whether human activity in one of the
causes.

Man, you are some kind of snarling dog.. Read slower. I never
suggested an opinion on Global Warming, I suggested that if the HC was
blaming GW on poison ivy growth increase in potency etc, that there
very well could be an agenda. Please, slow down, I never said anything
about your Global Warming opinon. Man, I have a HS education at best
and I can have a discussion without letting my emotion get in the way
of sanity!

Poison ivy of the future may be a lot worse. Researchers have

conditions with elevated carbon dioxide concentrations, which
global
warming is expected to produce by midcentury. Not only did the
elevated
carbon dioxide boost poison ivy growth, but it also increased
the
most
toxic form of urushiol, the plant chemical that causes the itchy
rash in
humans. The findings should interest a lot of people because a
separate
U.S. Forest Service study found that up to 85 percent of humans
are
susceptible to poison ivy.
If it is the Hartford Courant, you can bet they have nothing more
than
a political agenda driving 90% of the stories they print. In a
recent
survey, the HC was found to be the second most biased news paper
in
the country. All they really do is copy the NYT stories and add a
little political propoganda to keep it lively. There is little
news
worth reading there. Sorry Harry, the HC is little more than a PR
firm
for the Democratic Party.

I'm a middle of the road leftie. BTW, I looked at today's editorial

Well I think he is a FU too, and a pussy but then again, I am not an
ideologue. I did not do the study, you do not live here to see what
that paper and it's extreme left (sell out to insurance companies and
anyone else with a buck) agenda has done to our state. The HC is on a
mission, just cause you agree with the mission does not make it
unbiased. Although you may consider yourself middle of the road, most
who read you would take your support of the HC alone as proof positive
of it's biased agenda. Like I said, I live here, my dad reads the
Journal Inquirer which basically copies the Courant and the Times word
for word.
You don't read it, but you're OK with your crystal ball method of
knowing
what an article says. Talk about a FU.....- Hide quoted text -

As much as I reread my post, I see nowhere where I suggest I don't
read it. We get both here, although I did quit my subscription to Time
last year. I read the NYT online because of an agreement with my
oldest so we can debate, I get the Courant's opinion, a day early ;)

Well, you certainly didn't read the article about poison ivy, because
earlier, you try to draw a lame connection between that and political
agendas. You were probably you cold obfuscate that fact by adding lots of
distracting messages. You can't.


WTF - the dangers of writing while on hold. Try this: You probably thought
you cold obfuscate that fact by adding lots of
distracting messages. You can't.



LOL, I read that and knew you had edited your message while doing
something else. It is a common problem in NG.

Yeah, but what was he doing the *second* time?

I hate to break this news to you, but...

Insurance companies are not representatives of the extreme left.

Hartford has always been "insurance city." The fact that the major
newspaper supports the insurance industry should not surprise you.

If you're against trial lawyers, does that mean you support the
insurance industry?
If you're against unions, does that mean you support offshoring of
jobs?
If you're against nuclear power, does that mean you support the
atmospheric pollution caused by burning coal?
If you're against GWB, does that mean you support Al Queida?
If you're against grunts, does that mean you support grouper?
Damn it's so confusing!

BTW Harold, were these opinions formed after your years at Yale? I would
think so. But then, you never know, especially with a such a multi talented
