What world are we all living in?
Letters to the Editor
To the editor:
This letter is in response to Steve Erwin’s latest tirade about my response to his earlier tirade about Chatty Kathryne’s choice of TV programs, and where she found her facts.
If I did nothing by my feeble letter, I did succeed in getting Steve to laugh. I put a very high value on a good sense of humor, and Steve’s laughing leaves a warm spot in my heart.
I guess with the comeuppance Steve dished out to me I should be a little contrite, and I am. Everything Steve said is true, and I agree with it. I do, however, have a couple little questions and a point of view or two I would like to express.
One of my views: I really didn’t think it was necessary to list off of Fox network’s “lies.” Steve’s old friend, Leonard Pitts, has already taken care of that by example after example.
Question: Were these examples “pitiful” because they were found out to be what they were?
Question: Is “most have proven to be either taken out of context or errors that were retracted on a timely basis” an open admission that Fox does lie?
Question: Does “timely basis” mean before or after they were found out?
Another view I have: In the last 70 years, whenever there has been a Republican administration, this country has been in recession to some degree or another. Even Donald Trump admits that.
Question: Was there a Democratic Congress in power for all of these respective presidencies?
Question: Could it be that the Republicans’ incessant quest to kill unions and anybody who advocates fair wages has anything to do with the median income going down?
Question: What world am I living in?
I’m living in a world that’s changing far faster than is probably good for it. But, we’re all in it together.
I’m living in a world where I go out for a beer once in a while, maybe even a nice, cold vodka gimlet.
I cuss Wal-Mart every time I walk in, which is far too often.
I attend local sporting events on a fairly regular basis.
I play pinochle with my friends.
I look high and low for Karaoke and do a little bird watching.
I help my neighbor cut wood so he’ll let me fish on his property.
One thing I refuse to do, however, is sit with my shoes nailed to the floor in front of a computer trying to find another picayunish way to validate my super conservative ways.
“Sorry excuses” for both parties? You bet.
Way to go, Steve ol’ buddy.
