Kesher Talk

Michael Kelly, R.I.P. One of the online eulogies for journalist and columnist Michael Kelly linked to this satirical piece. I didn't recognize who Kelly was when he died, but I remember reading this column and loving it.

`"Good evening, and welcome to 'All Is Lost,' the nightly public affairs program produced by National Public Radio and the British Broadcasting Corporation. Tonight, we discuss what has been called America's war against terror. I am your host, Perfectly Modulated Voice of Reason.

`"With me, in our Washington studio, are: Fabled Newsman Who Was There When Saigon Fell ... Scientifically Trained Impartial Scholar ... and Bureau Chief of Second-Rate Regional Monopoly Newspaper Who Is Desperate to be Hired by The New York Times. From London, we are joined by our European affairs analyst, Loathes America and Prays for its Swift Destruction. . . "

And this is from November 2001!
