Although this isn't really Danbury-related, I had to share this with everyone.
Ed Anderson is a Connecticut blogger and comrade who gave Joe Lieberman many nightmares during the 2006 senate primary. Anderson posts and comments over at Connecticut Local Politics as well as My Left Nutmeg and is by far one of the funniest persons I know.
Well, my man took time to travel up to New Hampshire and show his support for Joe Lieberman's BFF John McCain and as usual, he made an impression with the locals...
Manchester, N.H.- As John McCain supporters filled a downtown plaza, New Haven's Edward Anderson - channeling Stephen Colbert and the Yippies of yore - crashed the party. His subversive sign fooled not just some McCainiacs, but the media, too.
"Bomb Iran - Vote McCain," read Anderson's sign, waving high above the crowds of supporters of the surging Republican presidential candidate as New Hampshire voters prepared to take part in Tuesday's first-in-the-nation party primaries.
A badge on Anderson's lapel, "Straight Talk McCain," pegged Anderson - a liberal activist and blogger active in Connecticut campaigns - as a fan of the Arizona senator.

On September 26, 2007, ten plaintiffs filed suit in response to an arrest of aday laborers at a public park in Danbury, Connecticut. Plaintiffs amended their complaint on November 26, 2007.
The amended complaint states that plaintiffs sought to remedy the continued discriminatory and unauthorized enforcement of federal immigration laws against the Latino residents of the City of Danbury by Danbury's mayor and its police department.
Plaintiffs allege that the arrests violated their Fourth Amendment rights and the Connecticut Constitution because defendants conducted the arrests without valid warrants, in the absence of exigent circumstances, and without probable cause to believe that plaintiffs were engaged in unlawful activity. In addition, plaintiffs allege that defendants improperly stopped, detained, investigated, searched and arrested plaintiffs. Plaintiffs also allege that defendants violated their Fourteenth Amendment rights when they intentionally targeted plaintiffs, and arrested and detained them on the basis of their race, ethnicity and perceived national origin. Plaintiffs raise First Amendment, Due Process and tort claims.
Plaintiffs request declaratory relief, damages and attorneys fees.
