There are accusations on both sides of the fence regarding distortions. I think skepticism is healthy, but a distrust of big business is healthier. I work from a distrusting viewpoint, and I have less reason to distrust Gore than I do persons such as the author of the article cited by Scaeagles. This is not to say I completely trust Gore, but I have less reason to question his motivation than some mouthpiece for the energy companies.

Well, well- what a surprise: Bush commutes Libby's sentence.

I guess this would be an example of compassionate conservatism. Just think- Paris Hilton served more time than Scooter.
