Krauthammer only plays one tune

As an independent thinker, Charles Krauthammer is about the most worthless opinion columnist you publish. I don’t object to right of center opinion. But Krauthammer is a one-note samba. Please find someone else to replace him. Fareed Zakaria at least has some original ideas. George Will can also be balanced.

I came back to the Herald from the Times because I got tired of endless tales of the aqueduct and floating bridge. Your opinion page has become more serious. Keep in mind though that it isn’t “balanced” to juggle far-left and far-right.

Also, I approve of your including the pages from the Wall Street Journal on Sundays.

By the way, why no comment on the recent long story in Newsweek about the design problem with the 737? Also, I’m waiting to hear anything about the Chevron employees being held in Brazil by its government. I read about this in the Economist. Is it not true? All-in-all your paper is improving and I plan to continue my subscription.
