OK, BUT WHICH BAR?


The AP reports that Ralph Nader was in an unnamed bar in New Haven on Saturday, looking for help in getting on the CT ballot (via Political State Report).

But which bar?

I'm trying to imagine Ralph Nader at C.O.Jones, in front of dozens of folks who are already on their third margarita and would probably be willing -- if not necessarily capable -- of signing anything at that point.

Then the mind shifts to the retro chic (or, more accurately, the 1970s holdover chic?) of The Anchor, with Nader standing beneath the ancient print of the signing of the Constitution, haranguing too-hip-to-be-interested grad students with his tales of a party duopoly.

Then, perhaps, Rudy's, where Nader would find out, to his chagrin, that most of those present are too young to vote, let alone drink. (Just kidding, folks.)

Ah, New Haven.

You forgot about GPSCY where he would be stopped at the door without an ID and Anna Liffey's where he'd have to decipher the Irish brogues.

Or Bar, where he won't be heard because of the music.
