What Bipartisan Cooperation means in Washington

Every new president in my lifetime has started their time in office with a call for bipartisanship, a hope to work with the opposition party and make a better United States. Now, despite the fact that bipartisan means two parties, and I’m part of a third party, I like the sentiment.

Carlton Fletcher

Tom and I have been pretty hard on Carlton Fletcher earlier this week for comments he made in his column last Sunday – and then we actually met him.

Honestly, regardless of what he writes, he is a genuinely nice guy so far as I’ve personally been around him, and a great asset to the news community in the Albany area due to his dedication to his craft – something we were partially bashing in our posts due to our own preference for this format of reporting.

I said all that to basically say this: Carlton has two pieces in the Herald today, one as a reporter and one as a columnist. Both are really good, and nothing really needs to be said in addition to his column – I agree with him completely on it. (Though I do hold to my stance that government should be removed from education completely and that if this were done, the things he takes issue with in his column would no longer be a concern.)

I’ve already reached out to the Scott campaign for our own post with them, but expect a post based on Carlton’s report at some point later today.

This week, Carlton, great job!
