John Kerry was at the college at the same time, I believe (We&#8217;re exactly the same age but I skipped &#8211; hah!). I remember him vaguely from political meetings&#8230; sorry, it&#8217;s been a while&#8230; this tall guy who claimed to be against the war, but then to my surprise enlisted in that same war all of us despised. Even then, as I have blogged before, I smelled a rat, that he had motives not exactly consonant with the progressive politics of the day. Now it seems&#8230; at least according to sources cited on Drudge&#8230; that I may have been right. He was starring in his own calculated home movie &#8211; a remake of PT 109. It&#8217;s been years in the making. I&#8217;ll guess I&#8217;ll be watching the final cut tomorrow night.]]>Wed, 28 Jul 2004 10:44:05 -0400<![CDATA[Roger L.
