Skimming the Skimmer

“If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn't be. And what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?” -- from Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll.

When faced with the continuing attacks on Senator John Kerry's honorable military service, those of us who have taken the time and extended the effort to educate ourselves as to all the evidence concerning that service, including the official Navy record, have often felt as though we were, like Alice in Wonderland, living in a world of half-truths and flights of fancy. It has become crystal clear that those fixated on the destruction of John Kerry at all cost continue to live in parallel universe: a universe where up is down and down is up and everything is nonsense.

Oh, by the way, regarding Kerry's Silver Star, Virginia Senator John Warner recently publicly acknowledged the legitimacy of that medal. Warner was the Secretary of the Navy at the time Kerry was awarded the Silver Star). As Warner stated: "I went to the Pentagon in February 1969 and was there for five years in the Navy secretariat," Warner recalls. "I remember when his Silver Star came through," he adds. "I went back and checked for accuracy, and it was accurate." I will not be surprised if those dedicated themselves to the destruction of John Kerry, allege that Senator Warner, a respected American patriot, is part of the vast conspiracy to cover-up for John Kerry.
