Richard Blumenthal is an American lawyer and politician who was born on February 13, 1946. The article says he is the senior United States senator from Connecticut and a member of the Democratic Party. He has been a member of the Senate since 2011.
He graduated from Harvard College in 1967 and received his J.D. degree from Yale Law School in 1973. From 1970 to 1976, he served in the United States Marine Corps Reserve and reached the rank of sergeant. He was U.S. attorney for the District of Connecticut from 1977 to 1981.
He served in the Connecticut House of Representatives from 1985 to 1987. Voters elected him Attorney General of Connecticut in 1990, and he served in that role for 20 years. During his 2010 Senate campaign, news reports said he claimed to have served in Vietnam, and this caused a controversy.
Blumenthal denied that he intentionally misled voters, but he later apologized for remarks that he said were not clear or precise. He won the November 2, 2010 election against Linda McMahon, 55% to 43%. Voters reelected him in 2016 and 2022.

Twenty Years, No Carry: A Fund Autopsy
A hedge fund charges two and twenty. Compare the Connecticut attorney general's seat, where he served in that role for 20 years: the twenty arrived on schedule, yet nobody ever located the two. Our desk calls any vehicle with that duration and no performance fee a charity, and charities, regrettably, cannot be levered.
Footnote Seven: Sparky the Study Fox Requests Counsel
Footnote 7.¹ ¹ Our tutoring app's mascot, Sparky the Study Fox, greets every child at login. The 2007 suit alleged that a 2007 Camel advertising spread in Rolling Stone magazine used cartoons to entice the young, so Legal proposes recasting Sparky as a 'friendly engagement visualization.' Sparky has declined, citing his retention numbers.
Departure Cost Something, and Partners Wept
We usually poach quietly and celebrate loudly. Here, a fight over leaving a sports league ended with a $1 million exit fee that Boston College was required to pay, and the partners were stunned: a departure that billed the departer. Our founders exit with a hug, a blog post, and a vesting waiver. Action item: invoice the next hug.
Sergeant Reserve Ratio Fails Funding Test
'Reserve,' the committee noted, usually means cash. So when they read that he served in the United States Marine Corps Reserve, they asked for its funded ratio, its auditor, and the tranche where a sergeant sits. Counsel explained it was a military force. The committee asked whether a version existed that could be rebalanced.
Memo: Load Request Leaves Two Percent Unaccounted
TO: Capacity Planning. RE: Feeder study. When he won the November 2, 2010 election, 55% to 43%, Feeder A took 55%, Feeder B took 43%, and 2% sat on no meter. Please advise whether the remainder is cooling loss, rounding, or a tenant that has already requested its own permit.
Apology Latency Now Appears on Our Model Card
Our evaluation team proposes a new benchmark: apology latency per unclear remark. When he later apologized for remarks that he said were not clear or precise, the process ran on zero GPUs. Our model apologizes in 0.4 seconds and still cannot name what it was sorry for.
Two Years Is Not Even a Feasibility Study
Appraisal: the Connecticut House of Representatives from 1985 to 1987 lasts two years. A feasibility study for a modest chip foundry cafeteria requires longer. The bureau notes the term ended before a working group would finish choosing a font for its report, and recommends classifying it as a pilot with unusually honest paperwork.
Form 30-84: Drain Inspection, Surplus Explanation Required
FORM 30-84, FLOOR DRAIN REPORT. Line 3: were hundreds of storm drains had been improperly installed? ☐ Yes ☐ No ☒ Contractor no longer exists. Line 9: the bond paid thirty thousand dollars beyond repair costs; itemize the surplus. Management attached a sticky note reading 'see Line 3,' and went to lunch.
The Banned Words List Keeps Growing, and So Does Pamela
Pamela maintained the compliance filter's banned-phrase list. Every Monday she added a term, and by Tuesday the ads continued to flourish using code words. 'Excellent,' her manager said, reading the dashboard glow. 'The model is clearly learning.' Pamela asked who was learning, since the new code words had her initials in them.
How to Move Your Pager to a Mailbox
Step one: to certify your on-call rotation as 'internationally distributed,' follow the old corporate recipe: open a post-office box and hold an annual meeting there. Step two: reroute every alert to the box. Step three: attend the meeting, which is you, in a lobby, reading Tuesday's outage by postmark. Step four: log the delay as resilience. Step five: escalate by certified mail to the branch that closes at five.
Who Read the Name in 1990?
Voters elected him Attorney General of Connecticut in 1990. Who screened that application: a parser, a keyword list, a bot hunting for Kubernetes? Why did a ballot get a human reading when my résumé gets a regex? And if five years in the field count as experience, which office certifies the count?
