Flashpoint

FLASHPOINT: ‘It’s unanimous!’

Unanimity is rare among economists, but that’s exactly what happened when Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton announced her support for a gas tax holiday during the final days of the recent Indiana primary election. ....more>>

FLASHPOINT: Ivy Tech becoming a model for community college systems
Each April, our nation celebrates Community College Month, which recognizes the history and bright future of institutions like Ivy Tech Community College.
FLASHPOINT: Obama has revealed his own hypocrisy, arrogance
As a conservative I relish the delicious spectacle unfolding before me as Democrats engage in internecine warfare at a time when they should be coming together. As the Clinton/Obama soap opera escalates so do their negative poll numbers.
FLASHPOINT: In battles to come, Obama has an Achilles heal
I dare say that Barack Obama was a smidgen disingenuous (a fancy word for “dishonest”) when he claimed that he was not present and therefore unaware of Rev. Jeremiah Wright’s vitriolic outburst against whites and America.
FLASHPOINT: Land bid by Staples was way too low
I read an article in the Tribune-Star about the Vigo County Redevelopment Commission approving the sale of property in the Industrial Park to Staples. I find it hard to believe that the Commission allowed the sale to proceed, much less approving it.
FLASHPOINT: Ellsworth avoids facts, bows to his party’s Iraq position
I had a little hope for Rep. Ellsworth before I read his letter on Iraq in your April 8 issue.
FLASHPOINT: Campus conflict will have impact on ISU’s long-term health
In recent weeks disputed issues at Indiana State University have again appeared in the editorial pages of the Tribune-Star. Many in the reading public are probably wondering what the devil is up with ISU or have grown weary of the seemingly endless academic conflict.
Flashpoint: Tribute from war zone to real American hero
I just returned from one of my first missions “outside the wire” and got word via e-mail about the death of Jack Thornton.
FLASHPOINT: Addressing key questions will help start dialog on race
Sen. and presidential hopeful Barack Obama’s speech in Philadelphia addressed several racial issues he believes exist in America. His speech is in response to the controversial statements from his pastor that has rankled many.
FLASHPOINT: ISU’s lame-duck leaders should back off current approach
Jim Hughes’ sophomoric and unprofessional letter of March 22 surely leaves Trib-Star readers with a bad impression of ISU faculty and wondering what in blue blazes is going on. It thus begs explanation.
