Politics today is nasty business. There are many good people serving our City
and some who put themselves first, truthfully, one would have to be crazy to
run for City politics today. Let’s just
stick with City politics, the babble that is spread around with no facts hurts
candidates and even family members, some bloggers even go so far as to have
minions follow families of candidates and
the candidates themselves then report what the perceive to be facts
while they are only looking through binoculars and taking pictures.
This article however is about one of the good guys, who as
far as I know wasn’t involved in politics, although if he was, it would be with
the class and dignity which I heard is the way he lived his life. The article is in today’s Saratogian, if you
want to read it.
I never knew the man personally but those who did had high
praise for him both as a teacher and coach.
He ended his coaching career from complications due to ALS and coached
right up until the end. He coached golf
at Saratoga Catholic whose teams are nicknamed the Saints and it sure seems to
me that Mike Benson will have a long term as one of God’s coaches.
Well cowardly captain there is a lot of debate about who you are. You could put that debate to rest by naming yourself or you can continue to hid in the shadows where all scum reside.
ReplyDeleteWell Ben, there is a lot more debate about your mental status and your ability to accurately asses factual information. You have put that debate to rest by your last posting in a long series of psychologically depraved musings. You should hid in the shadows, or perhaps you should walk on down to the new psych center and get back on your meds without which you will someday carry out your violent fantasies.
DeleteThaank you for reading Ben. I am also shocked with the pieces I wrote earlier, you had to post this one on a blog about a great man who passed away. I knew him from when I went to school and if he knew you he would be shaking his head, if he cared. Try to remain calm, there are more important stories going on in Saratoga and none as minor as ending a non debate over who I am. Who cares??
ReplyDeleteIt's because of Little jts Ego Gets in the Way!
ReplyDeleteand I feel sorry for JT for being a Mean Dry Drunk!!
and by the way, he does a lot of anonymous posting on his own blog
Captain great letter. No need to go. You are the balance we need. You are right about the person who writes Saratoga in Decline. I have met him and seems like a very dejected person. So many people have a look of disgust when I mention his name. He is a very troubled man. I know as I was trained as a mental health professional nearly 20 years ago. His self esteem issues are obvious and substance abuse past clouds his mind. Do not let a sour apple spoil your blog.
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work.
Edmund Burke is most famously noted for the popular saying, "All that is required for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing."
ReplyDeleteEdmund Burke was most correct.
