Songs for a snowy day

Posted by Jeff Bailey, Executive Producer on February 26th, 2010 at 08:15:46 am, 3492 views

It started as a quip from Chris and Kristen on Good Morning Connecticut Friday about songs that remind you of the weather. I posted an item on our Good Morning Connecticut Facebook page and on Twitter asking "What song or song title fits today? It sure isn't Heatwave by Martha and the Vandellas."

We've got some great responses so far:

"Cold As Ice" by Foreigner - Mary Trupp MacLeod
Ain't No Sunshine - Bill Withers - Kim Soucy Engle
Enough Is Enough by Donna Summer - Tammy Eustis
Cat Stevens' "Into White" - @jhcovington
"Baby, It's Cold Outside" - @JeffTheRN

C'mon -- I know there are more out there. What are we missing?

I guess Nadya Suleman is going to get a little more than her fifteen minutes of fame after all. Now that I think about it, she's already had a heck of a lot more than that already.

I know this much about Tiger Woods, despite his long layoff from the game, he's still probably the best golfer in the world and I doubt he'll be in the running for 2010 Husband of the Year.

Incumbent Anxiety

Posted by Keith Kountz on February 16th, 2010 at 03:40:59 pm, 1771 views

2010 isn't turning out to be a very good year to be an incumbent politician. The whole concept of 'change' is reverberating from Hartford to Washington D-C and I would imagine pretty much everywhere else in between.
