Tribute to VADM Stockdale
There is a very nice tribute to VADM Stockdale by Jeff Bliss, Associate
Director of the Hoover Institution. Stockdale was a Research Fellow there until 1996. http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/articl...sn=001&sc=1000 This appeared in this morning's (7/11) San Francisco Chronicle, an otherwise quite left-leaning paper, and possibly in other papers as well. -- Mike Kanze "When they take off the bandages you look just like Newt Gingrich. That's why they call it Newtering." - One feral cat to another, in Farley (comic strip) - 6/23/05 |

Not what I would have expected from a left-leaning source. Good read. |

I think people stereotype everything SF based on our city politicians (most of whom are carpet-bagging transplants) and the suburban freaks who always come here to make the TV newscasts with their protests. The SF Chronicle has run several recent stories lauding the efforts and recognizing the sacrifices of our troops abroad. --mike |

It may or may not even mean anti-how-the-military-is-used. And some of the loudest opposition to how the military is being used comes from the Far Right. |

Mike,
True enough, about some of the Chron's feature stories. They are a weak counterweight to much of its editorial page, though. While the Chron has a nice balance of national and local columnists, the "house" editorials and the Letters to the Editor fit the left/crazy stereotype to a "T" quite consistently. -- Mike Kanze "When they take off the bandages you look just like Newt Gingrich.
