Time out from my usual postings to say that I am disturbed to find the Philadelphia Inquirer picking up a professional politician with whom I violently disagree to become a regular contributer to the paper. Whatever happened to fairness and objectivity?

So I sent the following letter to the editor. Wonder if it might see print:

To the editor:

I am amazed to find myself writing to cancel my subscription to the Inquirer because of your choice of a columnist. However, Rick Santorum is no thoughtful commentator. He is a failed professional politician and a neoconservative ideologue whose views are bigoted, extreme and intolerant. One need not read his future writings to know what circumscribed doctrines he will propound. I cannot abide your providing him a regular platform from which to advance his odious screed.
