Well.

This is a tough one. I think Keating is a good guy--but his allegation is serious. I notice that the Tulsa VG did not deny the allegation, nor did he answer the real question.

I hope K's story is not true--because I fear that it IS. I know more than a few snakes who wear collars (living in Milwaukee assures one of that...) and I despise them all, thoroughly. But one sort of hoped that Tulsa didn't have that problem

Question: is Beltran considered to be a 'liberal' or a 'conservative'?

Lot of that going around . . . (Politicians answering a WSJ column in Letters to the Editors almost always handle it this way.)

As to Beltran, I've never heard of him before.
