Hi Mark,
Love the mention of me in the Jan/Feb 2009 edition of The American Prospect (p. 4):
"And on tapped, the Prospect's staff blog, commenter Leo wrote, "I didn't even have to know the guy's background to know he was a vegetarian." Sorry to disappoint, but Adler is, in fact, a meat-eater."
Mark, sorry to disappoint, but I wasn't referring to Ben Adler, whose proclivities I have no idea of. The post I was commenting on was about Rajendra Pachauri whose "proposal" was being "mocked" and "excoriated".
Here's my comment:
"Why was his proposal so unpalatable?"
See, this is the thing. I didn't even have to know the guy's background to know he was a vegetarian.
You wonder why people make fun of him? It's like the Rabbi recommending a reduction in pork products....
It's rather difficult to consider this a comment on Adler since it wasn't his "proposal" and no one, as far as I know, was making "fun of him".
Thanks in advance for the correction in your next issue.
Sincerely,
LEO
