Duby McDowell and Kevin Rennie will no longer be co-hosts of WFSB, Channel 3′s weekend Face the State news-interview show after this Sunday’s broadcast, following criticism that McDowell had a conflict of interest because of her private public-relations firm’s new $250,000, no-bid contract with the administration of Gov. Ned Lamont, a fellow Democrat for whom she has expressed public support. McDowell and Rennie, who is a Courant columnist, were hired as a team in October to replace recently departed “Face the State” host Dennis House and now they’re both leaving after a problem surfaced with one of them, McDowell. “Face the State” will continue, but WFSB has not said who will replace the duo after their final broadcast Sunday at 8:30 a.m. on the local CBS affiliate.

“We got 74 million plus and they’re trying to convince us that we lost. We didn’t lose,” Trump said last weekend during an election campaign appearance to support Republican Senators David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler in Georgia.

In this icy economic climate, one often hears the cold advice, “You have only yourself to blame.” The words echo down dark, trash-bestrewn lanes. The clock tower in the distance doesn’t yet strike thirteen, but one wonders what’s next.
In early 1982 the solicitor-general department of Alberta ran billboard ads depicting a tow truck pulling a wrecked car out a snow-filled ditch. In the lower portion of the sign in large letters was the comment: “Don’t blame the weather.

Joe Biden s reaction to his victory sounded almost old-fashioned. With the campaign over, it s time to put the anger and the harsh rhetoric behind us and come together as a nation, the Democratic victor said on Saturday.
It was a sentence that betrayed a yearning for America s political past, when hate and discord hadn t yet completely overtaken the country s politics. But will that wish be fulfilled?
