ONCE again, Connecticut has an opportunity to transform energy policy, protect consumers and small businesses and create the prerequisites for a new manufacturing base. Two important bills are before the General Assembly, Senate Bill 1 and Senate Bill 1176. Before reviewing the former, comprehensive energy reform bill, I must correct the full-page disinformation advertisements bought by Dominion, owner of the Millstone nuclear power plants, regarding SB 1176. The ad's assertion that 74 percent of residents are against taxing the power plant's "excess" profits is flat out comical. I doubt if half that number even know a bill that would do so even exists. If this statistical claim were true, why would it need full- page ads to oppose the bill? Before we get choked up at how concerned Domi...
Q: I just returned from a trip to France. Prior to my flight, I was confirmed on an aisle seat. When I arrived at the airport, I discovered my seat assignment had been changed to a middle seat. Can the airline randomly change seat assignments once they have confirmed them? A: Unfortunately, yes it can, especially if there's a change of equipment or, in some cases, if the airline needs to rebalance the plane's weight. As you probably know, an airline can even take your seat away entirely (involuntary denied boarding), in which case it is required to provide cash compensation.

SAN ANTONIO - Zach Randolph has been fabulous for two years now. He scores, he rebounds, he steps in and helps people with their electric bills. He's not a black hole any longer. He's willed the woebegone Grizzlies back into the playoffs. So what did Rick Reilly write about the Grizzlies in his playoff prediction column at ESPN.com?
The latest desperate bid for attention by publicity-starved feminists is to sponsor SlutWalks - events at which scantily clad women take to the streets en masse to claim their "right" to dress and behave however they want or to go anywhere at any time without the risk of being sexually assaulted or deemed to be streetwalkers. Granted, the feminists have gotten a lot of mileage out of their attempt to displace the romance of Valentine's Day with their crude and brassy V-Day performances (in case you've been living under a rock, the "V" is shorthand for "The Vagina Monologues") but if anything illustrates just how outrageous and passe the movement has become, it is the feminists' delusional attempt to take back the term "slut." They propose somehow to make the point that even if what they...
