Pigs are flying in New York City

I am sitting here at JFK waiting for my flight home, drinking beer and reading the New York Times. They gave me a free copy at my hotel; otherwise, I wouldn't be reading the piece of liberal trash.

But I may have to reconsider. In today's issue, in an article that begins on page 1 -- above the fold -- there is an article SLAMMING John Kerry for his votes on various things including the two Iraq wars!

I have to continue this in another post due to Blackberry limitations.

The article chronicles his Vietnam protestor-like opposition to Desert Storm, including quotes from speeches on the Senate floor, then contrasts the positions he took on this war. Why the change? Well, the article concludes -- on page 1 -- that:

But for Mr. Kerry personally, the most potent change may well have been that by 2002 he had all but publicly resolved to run for president.
Damn! What is going on at the Times?

Sure that it wasn't a copy of the Washington Times, by mistake?

Here it is... It was available free to AOL customers.


Edit*** When you view this in 'notepad', you may have to click the Format drop down menu at the top of your screen and then click the word wrap function to see this correctly.
