Name That Storm!

Crime & Punishment: Woman leads police on high-speed chase to avoid paying $9.15 tab
![<strong>Cardinal Edward Egan has had time</strong> to think it over and he's not sorry about that outbreak of child sex abuse at the Archdiocese of Bridgeport. Speaking to Connecticut Magazine, Egan, who was bishop of the archdiocese from 1988 to 2000, looked back on the apology he gave in 2002 and declared, “I never should have said that.” Egan, now 79, defensively said that most (though records show not all) of the abuse, allegedly committed by seven different priests, happened before he took over the Bridgeport office. As for failing to go to the police, a la Joe Paterno, and scuttling the priests elsewhere? “I don't think even now you're obligated to report [suspected abuse] in Connecticut.” (Several legal experts disagree.) No word on if Egan feels there is any moral obligation to inform the authorities of child molestation or if, in hindsight, it might seem like a good idea.](http://media.trb.com/media/thumbnails/story/2012-02/85463520-15091903.jpg "<strong>Cardinal Edward Egan has had time</strong> to think it over and he's not sorry about that outbreak of child sex abuse at the Archdiocese of Bridgeport.

Why you should expect a lot more from Connecticut's Occupy protesters in 2012
If you think Connecticut's Occupy movement is going to wither away in the winter cold, or get co-opted by unions or lefty groups, or get sucked into Obama's re-election push, you'd better listen to what Danielle Digirolamo and other “occupiers&...Tags: Political Dissent, Elections, Democratic Party, Union (Tolland, Connecticut), Philadelphia (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania)
