[The Shrew]

Bruce Kesler served as a Sergeant in the Marine Corps, G-2, in Vietnam in 1969-70, enlisting after graduating Brooklyn College, where he led support for the war. Mr. Kesler was one of the organizers of the 1967 Support Our Men In Vietnam parade down New York’s 5th Avenue, the longest parade since WWII. He also wrote numerous articles and debated all over the East Coast. Following his service, Mr. Kesler organized the Vietnam Veterans for A Just Peace to counter Kerry and the Vietnam Veterans Against the War in 1971. He left his doctoral studies at the University of Pennsylvania, where he also worked at the Foreign Policy Research Institute. Mr. Kesler's articles have been published in the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Freedom At Issue (Freedom House), Orbis, The National Observer, Twin Circles, and many other periodicals. He has worked as a finance and operations executive for Fortune 100 companies, and now owns an employee benefits consulting and brokerage firm in Encinitas, California. Mr. Kesler's proudest accomplishment is being the mid-life father of 4-year old Jason, with another on the way. As Bruce says, Semper Fi!

This POS Daniel Okrent is either a rabid/vile gay who pushes the gay agenda including hate GW, or it is a left winger who pushes the Gay Agenda and hates GW.

Introducing Daniel Okrent

One of the post-Howell Raines reforms at the New York Times was the appointment of Daniel Okrent as "public editor." The theory is that Okrent is to serve as a "readers' representative" who will regularly critique the Times' performance and respond to readers' concerns. Okrent is to have a column once every two weeks, more often "if necessary."

Today Okrent introduced himself to readers. While there is no reason to pre-judge his work, his self-description doesn't inspire a lot of confidence:

"By upbringing and habit, I'm a registered Democrat, but notably to the right of my fellow Democrats on Manhattan's Upper West Side. When you turn to the paper's designated opinion pages tomorrow, draw a line from The Times's editorials on the left side to William Safire's column over on the right: you could place me just about at the halfway point. But on some issues I veer from the noncommittal middle. I'm an absolutist on free trade and free speech, and a supporter of gay rights and abortion rights who thinks that the late Cardinal John O'Connor was a great man. I believe it's unbecoming for the well off to whine about high taxes, and inconsistent for those who advocate human rights to oppose all American military action. I'd rather spend my weekends exterminating rats in the tunnels below Penn Station than read a book by either Bill O'Reilly or Michael Moore."

Anyone who thinks Bill O'Reilly is on a par with Michael Moore is not exactly in touch with mainstream America.

The Times is actually in the midst of a three-pronged crisis. First, it suffers from an instutional corruption that was generally associated with Raines and led to the Jayson Blair scandal. Bill Keller's reforms have recognized and tried to deal with this part of the problem. Second, the general level of competence of its reporters and editors has fallen to an appallingly low level. We have many times pointed out the lack of basic, high-school level knowledge of history, mathematics and other topics that is documented in the Times' Corrections section. And finally, the Times is grotesquely biased against Republicans and conservatives.

It is not clear whether Keller and his fellow executives recognize the latter two problems. Whether Okrent contributes anything to solving them, time will tell. I intend to be one of his frequent correspondents. One significant point in Okrent's favor: he is a huge baseball fan, and claims to have invented rotisserie league baseball. If so, it is a more notable contribution to civilization than anything he is likely to achieve with the Times.

Kerry's Dishonorable Discharge

http://federalistpatriot.us/current/

"...As many Vietnam veterans who served their nation with dignity and honor will recall,
Jimmy Carter's first official act as president was the signing
Executive Order 11967
http://www.archives.gov/federal_register/codification/executive_order/11967.html
and Presidential Proclamation 4483
http://www.usdoj.gov/pardon/carter_proclamation.htm

--less than an hour after his inauguration on 21 January 1977. EO 11967 and Presidential Proclamation 4483
provided general amnesty for draft evaders, war protesters and other offenders of that era.

Its corresponding, and equally dubious, DoD directive took effect in March of 1977,

expanding that amnesty to include separation from military service by other than honorable discharges.

The DoD specified an appeal procedure whereby discharges could be reviewed on an individual basis
to determine whether the status of a particular discharge could be revised..."

Having an ombudsman at the New York Times makes about as much sense as appointing a Chaplin at a whorehouse. As if there's anything either one could say to make them stop what they're doing...
