Benjamin Franklin once said that a spoonful of honey will trap more flies than a gallon of vinegar. With the press, politicians, friends, and family ladling out the honey upon the news of Gov. Jodi Rell’s impending retirement, I thought I should share some thoughts and catch a few pesky flies of my own.

Who made the rule that we should bail out bankers, hedge-fund managers, and corporate executives instead of the people who are really important?

The sides are lining up in the corners of the ring for the big contest: Tel-Com Giants in one corner, Internet Heavyweights in the other. But they’re not the only ones in this fight. Congress, consumers, labor, business and Net-nerds are also staking their spots on the mat, making their presence and preferences known.
