Cats, Midd kids, political donors, your civil liberties and most definitely Vermont’s congressional delegation.
Here’s the Scoreboard for the week of Friday, Sept. 13:
Winners:
Vermont’s congressional delegation — Last week they were sweating bullets over their pending vote on Syrian air strikes. This week, they dodged a bullet. Now repeat after me: “Thank you, Vladimir!”
Friendship — It sure is great to be chummy with Shummy. If you’re tight with him, Gov. Peter Shumlin might buy your solar trackers, roll with you to China and meet with you privately in Manchester.
Rural Vermonters — Front Porch Forum, the online epicenter of municipal musings, has gone statewide, thanks to $300,000 from the Vermont Council on Rural Development. Now if everyone else’s FPF is anything like my Old North End forum, you can look forward to plenty of bat-shit crazy.
