It feels like 2001
Tweet A terrorist attack, a young baby in the house, and now a deadly toxin sent to a member of Congress. Am I talking about this week, or am I talking about 2001? Maybe a bit of both.

Tweet An eight year old boy was among the three killed yesterday when a bomb scarred the face of the Boston Marathon. Tomorrow, we will all probably point fingers at each other about who is responsible for the environment that lead to this, but today we all just plain hurt.

Tweet Here in Albany, most folks probably realize that there are two incarnations of the Chehaw Indian Festival. The old one was huge, with Native Americans dancing for prizes and drawing them from all across the country. Cars would be backed up forever it would seem with people trying to get into the park.

Tweet Johnny Isakson and Saxby Chambliss both voted to allow the latest abomination of gun control legislation to move forward in the senate. For some folks, this isn’t a big deal. For me, it’s an absolute betrayal of the Constitution.
