Headless Horseman - Legend tells of a dark and shadowy figure who rides the Nutmeg State woods at night. In his natural life, this mysterious soul had his head cleaved clean from his shoulders by the policies of an arrogant Democratic majority in the General Assembly, and an annoyingly leftist blogosphere. His ghost, atop his trusty black steed runs down liberals in the night, pelting them with flaming pumpkins. The Horseman can also be seen tossing pumpkins at his home site here in Sleepy Hollow. Liberals… watch your head. Mua ha ha ha ha! You can e-mail the Horseman at headlesshorseman@everydayrepublican.com.

Ichabod Crane - Ichabod Crane is a lifelong resident of Connecticut and has been formally involved in state and local politics for the past 5 years along with a lifelong interest in the subject matter. A dedicated Republican, Crane is disgusted by the elitist and arrogant attitude of Northeast liberals and their counterparts in the Democratic Party.  Along with Crane’s work on the ground, Crane has taken to the electronic battlefield by first becoming a prolific commenter on another well-traversed Connecticut political blog before landing at Everyday.
