A bird in the hand

Supreme Court Justice Scalia has given a hand to those trying to decipher what happened in front of that Boston church. In an exclusive, the Boston Herald has both the photo and the letter from Justice Scalia to try to interpret whether the so-called obscene gesture was indeed obscene or simply, if I may characterise it as Scalia prefers, flippant.

I'm afraid (just shuttering in my boots) that all he has done is "fan" the flames. Read the Herald story and nothing in the controversy seems settled.

Look, the whole thing was always a tempest in a Boston teapot. I think he should have just kept his opinions to himself, but now the bird has flown.
