CuT on the Go

We’re trying something new here at The CuT. Yes, we’re leaving Connecticut & we’re taking you with us. We’re kicking off this experiment with a trip to America’s inferior coast to see the redwoods, the gays, and hopefully some rednecks!

Californiiiiaaaaa…here we come!

So be sure to follow our adventures at The CuT’s new microblog: CuT on the Go

I Ain’t Afraid of No Ghosts…

Or I am…but only at night. So, last weekend I headed over to the very haunted Union Cemetery. Prepare to be terrified.

Swine Flu Transmitted Through Bad Handwriting

NEW LONDON – WFSB reports: Officials at the U.S. Coast Guard Academy said that some cadets have become ill after opening a strange letter. Officials said that the letter contained writing in a foreign language.

Stuff To Do On July 4th

I’ve finally found a listing of stuff to do on Independence Day!

What the erection(sic) means to Dan Barrett:

Things are looking up in America. I’m so proud. Finally, we’re standing up, standing strong against people who said we couldn’t. Well, “Yes I Can.” I’m so eager to just get up in there and really shake things up.

This is Change I Need.

Middletown Full of Fascists…or Commies…or Something

Recently, a Courant writer headed out to Wesleyan University, the last great bastion of white people with dreadlocks, in search of a John McCain supporter. Obviously, this was a giant waste of gas. Basically what he learned was that if the kids from Wesleyan have anything to say about it, we’ll all be standing in line for bread by 2020.

Presidential Poll

Which crappy city will win?

Never Thought I’d Say This…

But thank you, Hartford Courant, for giving me a reason to talk about Sarah Palin.

I can’t stand her, and apparently, neither can most of Connecticut’s college-aged girls. That makes me happy, because so often I lose faith in younger women. I see their butt-cracks on display, and their refusal to close their mouths when speaking (think: “oh maaa gawww”) and I wonder what the future holds. Then I read something like this, and I can sleep at night:

Olivarius said many female students are troubled by Palin because she does not support issues that have traditionally been considered feminist causes. McCain doesn’t, either, but to Olivarius, hearing opposition to abortion and other traditionally women’s issues from a 72-year-old man is different from hearing it from a 44-year-old, driven woman.

Fritter Redux

So, a trip past Glastonbury’s Old Cider Mill revealed some new information. There is a new fritter stand, where they also make donuts. We stopped to get some, and while the fritters were delicious, the donuts left something to be desired, I thought. There were pumpkin, apple cider, and chocolate donuts. I didn’t bother with the chocolate, but the other two were just “okay.” I’ve had some really good apple cider donuts in the past and these didn’t compare.

Plum Island: CT’s Biggest Threat

Sure, you go down to the shore and catch a ferry over to Block Island or Long Island and you think about how lucky you are to live so close to so much – Boston, New York, the Cape, Newport, RI, and so much more. But next time you’re spending a quiet day on the beach, you might want to think about bringing weaponry and a hazmat suit. “Why?” you ask. Because lurking out there off the tip of Long Island, is the seemingly tranquil Plum Island. But what might seem like a speck on the map, is really a government facility teaming with creepy, hybrid animals and diseases.

As you might have guessed, my favorite holiday is Earth Day. There aren’t many days of the year that I can offer my helpful “green tips” to the rest of you conspicuous consumers without eliciting eye-rolls and the occasional, “F*ck off tree-hugger.” So, since Earth Day is fast approaching (April 22⁾ I thought I would share some of my favorite green tips and spots with our readers.
