LANE OFFLINE
Oddly, Terry Lane’s Sunday Age column—usually a reliable source of unreliable material—isn’t online this week, although Lane’s wisdom is apparently present in the print edition. Perhaps his editors are protecting him. I wonder what he might have written?
UPDATE. Lane’s column is now online, some 24 hours after it appeared in print:
Here’s an amusing example of the divide between good and bad America. A recent press release from the organisation Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility draws attention to the fact that rangers in the Grand Canyon National Park are forbidden to answer visitors’ questions about the age of the canyon because the truth will upset Bush’s fundamentalist supporters. However, Bush’s National Parks Service refuses to withdraw from sale in the park bookshop a book that explains how the canyon was formed by Noah’s flood.
Hmm.
