Can Connor Cover? A Candy Bowl Of Topics For Some Halloween Spirit

I’m sitting here on a Wednesday afternoon, perhaps a bit more tired than usual, and my brain is not firing on all cylinders like it usually is. I’m trying to think of a Halloween angle for this week’s introduction, but I can’t seem to think of which way to go. Scariest losses I’ve suffered as a fan? The not-so-creative “athletes as Halloween candies”? Shoot, I thought about just abandoning sports all together and just listing some of my favorite scary movies and Halloween memories. Actually, why don’t I just do one of each?

Letters to the Editor

Plain Township Board

Editor, Times-Union: Elections that we’ve heard about in every news cycle for what seems like ages are right around the corner. Before we head to the polls in a few short days, I want to challenge everyone to be introspective and consider what we, as individuals, truly want. I hope we will all steadfastly reflect on what we believe will be the best for our families and our neighbors.

AP News

Editor, Times-Union: I believe the people who purchase the Times-Union deserve a disclaimer whenever a AP (Associated Propaganda) story is published.

Review

Editor, Times-Union: Let’s get this straight: The Republicans have Elon Musk dumping millions of dollars into their campaigns. DNI seized Georgia voting records (deemed true and valid years ago) to supposedly find fraudulent ballots. They have gerrymandered states in order to disenfranchise minority voters. They have gutted the Voting Rights Act — thanks to bought and paid for SCOTUS judges. They have posted election deniers in state and federal roles overseeing elections. They are considering placing ICE and Feds near voting places to try to intimidate voters. They are trying to confiscate voter lists through the USPS hoping people will not get ballots until the states hand over their election data. They have sidelined CISA (the agency that guards elections from foreign interference), and they have threatened election workers with prosecution.

‘No Kings’ Rally

Editor, Times-Union: I found it amusing seeing people protesting “No Kings” recently because they are too afraid to admit that it is actually a “We hate Trump” rally because if Trump were an actual king the number of protests against a King Trump would be zero, because those who did protest would go to prison.

I Remember

Editor, Times-Union: I remember when we used to teach that every life is sacred, even at conception - a new person with new DNA. I remember when everyone knew we were created in the image of God, both male and female, and God said it was very good! Forgive me, Lord, if I ever voted for a candidate that believed human life is disposable.
