A look at the day's comments from Patch account holders.

BRANFORD

“If so many people are going to bring and or pick up their kids everyday, which is their right to do, then the parking and traffic flow problems around ‘all’ schools in Branford needs to be addressed! Are we going to wait until a tragedy occurs and someone is killed before something is done?” There are traffic concerns near a local nursery school. hopes something is done about it.

“Politicians and diapers are best changed frequently and for the same reasons. Nobody fits this old saying better than the folks you list above.” In an article about what Connecticut’s legislators are up to, offers his thoughts.

“I am a substitute teacher's assistant. I've been doing this for over a year now...I work mostly in the Autistic program in the elementary school. I can't get over how well the students treat the Autistic children that we have in our school. Always willing to come to class and read with them, have snack with them and say ‘Hi’ to them in the hallways. We have a mix of Autistic children... some full functioning, some not. It's pretty even how they treat them. I'm very proud of our school for how they work together. I wish schools - teachers and students - could all understand and work together. It's not easy... some days are very difficult... as we know these children are like a puzzle piece!!! Everyone is different.” A story about one elicited this positive story from .

This article seems to be nothing more than an anonymous and free infomercial for Staples.Read More "J" posted this same spam "article" on Patch sites in many towns, just changing the name of the town to match the Patch site. That seems to be the spirit of Staples, free-loading in every way they can. Even this "teacher program" has nothing to do with eliminating the need for teachers to spend their own money on school supplies --it is simply a way for that retailer to take advantage of the situation by attracting the lucrative teacher market. Staples should change their name to MADE IN CHINA OFFICE SUPPLIES, as virtually nothing they sell is manufactured in our country.

I agree with Linda and find it perfectly appropriate that Walker appear at a dinner to honorRead More Prescott Bush, financier of the Third Reich! What's wrong with the CEA? We don't facts disturbing our own versions of reality: these big unions better get used to big moneyed candidates who will bust them down to nothing! Weekends? Child labor? Fair wages? We don't need any of that malarkey!
