GOP R.I.P.

Written by admin on November 7, 2008. Posted in Opinion and Column

To the Editor: Take a trip down memory lane to understand why “When Campaigning is an Exercise in Altruism: In heavily Democratic Manhattan, Republicans are a near-extinct breed” (Oct. 23). Manhattan Republicans haven’t offered Democrats serious competition for public office on any level in years. The citadel of liberal Republicans based in the East Side

CYCLING MENACE ON PARK PATHS

Written by admin on October 23, 2008. Posted in Opinion and Column

To the Editor: Bette Dewing, a friend of mine, is very concerned about pedestrian safety in regards to bicyclists (“A Café Closing on 79th,” Oct. 16). On Aug. 12, 2008, I was walking on a pathway along side of Pelham Parkway North in The Bronx. This pathway is used by both pedestrians and bicyclists. Even

INEXPERIENCE ALL AROUND

Written by admin on October 23, 2008. Posted in Opinion and Column

To the Editor: Malachy McCourt mocks Sarah Palin for implying that she is an expert on Russie because Alaska is near that country (“Here Come the Russians,” Oct. 9). However, is that any different than Obama supporters claiming that Obama is an expert in foreign affairs because he spent four years of his childhood in Indonesia?

DONATE THE DONATIONS

Written by admin on October 23, 2008. Posted in Opinion and Column

To the Editor: Concerning “Extend Term Limits For 2009” (editorial, Oct. 16), it would be the height of arrogance for anyone, including Mayor Bloomberg, Comptroller Thompson, Public Advocate Gotbaum, Council Speaker Quinn, Council Finance Chairperson Weprin, along with other Council members and Borough Presidents, to claim that overturning term limits is necessary because only they have the insight to run

VOTERS SHOULD DECIDE TERMS

Written by admin on October 23, 2008. Posted in Opinion and Column

To the Editor: It is crucial that the public been given the opportunity to vote for or against term limits (“Extend Term Limits for 2009,” Oct. 16 editorial). It should not be decided by the City Council. There are many issues on which my Council person does not represent my point of view, i.e., the

VET SPEAKS UP

Written by admin on October 16, 2008. Posted in Opinion and Column

To the Editor: Ms. Saffran calls me “extremist” and “fanatic” (Letters, Oct. 2). Let me set the record straight. Since graduating at the top of my Harvard undergraduate and my Cornell veterinary school classes, I have served as a consultant for cruelty case investigations on behalf of shelters and law officers. With the New York

To the Editor: How great that you salute the service workers who work tirelessly with a smile and never a complaint. “Location, location, location” means nothing without “doorman, doorman, doorman.” Zsa Zsa Giggleman New York, NY Letters have been edited for clarity, style and brevity

NO HELP FOR CROWDED SCHOOLS

Written by admin on October 9, 2008. Posted in Opinion and Column

To the Editor: Some years back while at a major advertising agency, I was part of a group brainstorming ideas on how a major advertiser could extend its reach among preteens. One Greenwich-type thought he had the idea of the century: sponsor little league sailing since, he pointed out, every preteen in his area was

INHERENTLY CRUEL PRACTICE

Written by admin on October 9, 2008. Posted in Opinion and Column

To the Editor: Your recent article, “Fairytale Ride or Cruel Practice?” (Sept. 18), tries to present a balanced view, although your writer got several facts wrong (the Coalition has 30,000 signatures, not 10,000). I don’t know how there can be a balanced view on a practice that is inherently cruel. It’s like trying to present

HORSES NOT MEANT FOR STREETS

Written by admin on October 9, 2008. Posted in Opinion and Column

To the Editor: When any creature is used to enrich anyone’s pocketbooks, the subject seems to bring out untruths (“Fairytale Ride or Cruel Practice?,” Sept. 18). Anyone who feels that these horses are having fun just doesn’t give a darn about their safety or their lives. The reporter makes it sound like a ride in
