Facts

Editor, Times-Union: I repeat for the umpteenth time that everyone has a right to their own opinions, but no one has a right to their own made-up facts.

Response To Letter

Editor, Times-Union: In Tony Fleckenstein’s April 8 letter, he defends the current administration’s service-cutting policies as mere attacks on waste, fraud and abuse, while making use of biblical references (“oh, ye of little faith,” “doubting thomas”) to chastise those who place little trust in this White House (and even less in the unelected Elon Musk).

Four Months

Editor, Times-Union: It took 250 years to build a nation that was the envy of the world. It took four months to tear it down. Countries that once admired, envied, and emulated us … countries that had our backs and gave their support and spilled their own blood defending us in our times of need … now unite against us in fear, disappointment, and disbelief. Countries that once were our greatest adversaries now laugh at us and relish our downfall and weakness. America is no longer first in anything; it is alone.

The Party’s Over

Editor, Times-Union: I believe the time has come to let go — for now — of party identification when election day comes in November 2024.

Nine Good Reasons To Believe In The Colts

What a crazy season it has been in the National Football League. Who would have imagined the St.Louis Rams would be the only undefeated team after six games? And if someone had said Denver would be one of the cellar-dwellers of the AFC West after winning the Super Bowl, people would have sent them for psychiatric help. But perhaps the craziest happening of all is the out-of-nowhere Indianapolis Colts.Who could have imagined that last year's 3-13 squad would be 9-2 after 11 games and sit atop the AFC East? After starting the season 2-2, Indianapolis has won seven consecutive football games.The Colts have not had a streak like that since the were in Baltimore in 1975 and won nine straight.With one more win, the Colts will secure the first 10-win regular season record since 1984 when they first moved from Baltimore. Not even the Colts thought they could make a turnaround of this caliber.They have surprised everyone, including themselves.

General Warnings Not Knowledge

Hindsight is 20/20, as a clich, I think, is understated. Hindsight is more like 20/10.Hindsight is like X-ray vision. And now in the blinding light of hindsight we have Congressmen ready to blame the President for the attack on the World Trade Centers. I was listening to Rep.Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., on CNN. He actually said W should be "held responsible" for 9/11 because he knew about the hijackers and did nothing. Democrat leaders Tom Daschle and Richard Gephardt were calling for hearings and pretty much pointing the finger at W. Indiana's own Evan Bayh was on, too.At least he had the sense to say we shouldn't be playing the blame game, that we should only be concerned about studying past experiences to prevent future problems. The New York Post headline? "He Knew!" That's referring to W, of course. All of this is abject nonsense, except maybe the part about learning from the past.

Incumbents Beware?

At first glance, one might think some incumbents might be in for a rough time this November. Frankly, I thought it was a bit shocking that Joe Lieberman, the Democrat Senator from Connecticut, lost his bid for re-election in the primary this past week. In 2000, as Al Gore's running mate, he was just a few Florida votes shy of being the Vice President of the United States. In 2004, he was a formidable candidate for his party's nomination for a presidential run against George Bush. A three-term incumbent, he was highly respected by his peers on both sides of the aisle in the Senate. He is the ranking Demo on the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, which he chaired in 2001 and 2002. He also serves on the Armed Services, Environment and Public Works and Small Business and Entrepreneurship committees. He was very popular in his home state and he's no moderate.
