Matt posted a link to Michael Moore’s latest letter in Metafilter today. He asked “is this fair?”

I haven’t seen it on any news site yet – but mafiaboy’s father has been arrested too. He was arrested for “conspiracy to commit an assault” – but it’s totally unrelated to his son’s extracurricular activities.
