You have taken the land which is rightfully ours. Years from now my people will be forced to live in mobile homes on reservations. Your people will wear cardigans, and drink highballs. We will sell our bracelets by the road sides, you will play golf, and enjoy hot hors d'oeuvres. My people will have pain and degradation. Your people will have stick shifts. The gods of my tribe have spoken. They have said, "Do not trust the Pilgrims, especially Sarah Miller."
@jbwan: And my people will carry their money to your casinos. They shall return, with less money but the trunks of their cars shall be filled with cigarettes.
Oh, I can just hear Bushie thinking, "Oh, they just gave 'em a little corn. The maize, right? It's not like they really needed it to like live. We’ll leave ‘em out the proclamation. And besides the settlers gave the Indians stuff too, shiny beads and baubles and things. You know, trinkets worth a whole peppercorn or such. What? Huh? Oh well, they probably would've gotten syphilis anyway."
That picture is hilarious. It's like everything you need to know about the Bush presidency can be surmised from the expression on his face in that picture.
@atlasfugged: indeed. And it makes me think that no matter how hard you try, you couldn't get a photo that dopey out of our new president. It's just not possible.
'Native Americans,' whatever. Everyone knows that when the Pilgrims landed, the only indigenous people inhabiting the United States were Cherokee Princesses.
"Thou shalt not fornicate." Prejean is safe as the TMZ article truly clarifies that the home-made porn is a solo act. Who knew she had such talent? #rihanna
Last I looked, we had full diplomatic relations with Italy and in fact are their allies -- so how do you justify Anericans violating their laws? The slippery slope problems of what the CIA operatives did in this case are enormous, and the appartent slurs on Italian "law" and its intelligence organization -- with no citation whatsoever -- seems like a lazy "all Italians are mafiosi" argument. #italy
btw... Leon Panetta would agree with you wholeheartedly.
(And if Mr. Panetta was a friend o' the mob, he would probably agree with you even more.)
I get a very Michael D. Brown vibe from this fellow. Maybe it's his interest in ocean water and affinity for seahorses?
"Panetta has long been an advocate for the health of the world's oceans. As a member of Congress from California’s 16th District, he wrote numerous successful acts of Congress to protect the California coast, including legislation creating the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary.[19][20][21] In 2003, Panetta was named chairman and commissioner of the Pew Oceans Commission, which in 2005 combined with the U.S. Commission on Ocean Policy to establish the Joint Ocean Commission Initiative. Panetta now co-chairs the Joint Ocean Commission Initiative with Admiral James D. Watkins, U.S. Navy (Ret.).[22] Panetta continues to pursue his commitment to ocean and marine life issues, serving as a resource for legislators and the media, advocating for ocean reform on behalf of the Joint Ocean Commission Initiative as well as other ocean organizations, including the National Marine Sanctuary Foundation[23] and the Monterey Bay Aquarium.[24]
In 2006 he was part of the Iraq Study Group, also known as the Baker Commission"

Pareene, I nominate you for Pontifex Maximus where you can raise the ira deorum on behalf of us all.
