EDITORIAL MATTERS:

Father's Day. My father died last Thanksgiving (age 90), so I can't call him up and tell him I love him, but maybe your father is still around and would like to hear from you. If so, go call him.

We took Kent McManigal's advice about flying the Gadsden Flag to heart, and have located an on-line vendor who'll pay TLE a commission for every one we sell via this link:

"The Inconvenient Truth" is indeed inconvenient to alarmists
by Tom Harris
"Scientists have an independent obligation to respect and present the truth as they see it," Al Gore sensibly asserts in his film "An Inconvenient Truth", showing at Cumberland 4 Cinemas in Toronto since Jun 2.

There ain't no justice! To me, that conclusion unites two otherwise distinct legal matters: Rep. Cynthia McKinney's alleged assault of a police officer, and the Duke lacrosse team 'rape' prosecution. The cases are examples of the law treating people according to who they are and not upon the evidence.
