I couldn't reach it, at least. Odd, today of all days.
From a few days back, and mirrored at Leonard Peltier Defense Fund:
LPDC | Article | Indianz.com - October 9, 2002Peltier Seeks Reduction in Prison Sentence
Attorneys for American Indian Movement activist Leonard Peltier were back in federal court on Tuesday to seek a reduction in sentence for the ailing prisoner.
More than 100 supporters and family members showed up in St. Paul, Minnesota, for the hearing. A drum group rallied the group outside the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals, where a small ceremony by Lakota elder David Chief was held.
Inside, a three-judge panel of the court considered pleas to change two consecutive life terms Peltier is serving in Leavenworth, Kansas. Attorney Eric Seitz said a federal judge relied on faulty evidence to send the internationally-known figure to jail.
Much more information, like, you know, background and context if you're not familiar with the internationally-known, but domestically-invisible figure, at FreePeltier.org. For what it's worth.
Columbus Day protests, like Peltier's case and, to a much greater extent, Mumia's, have sort-of faded into background noise as far as the mainstream is concerned. Quick way to label someone a member of the loony left is suggesting they participated in a rally or march for any of those causes.
Whatever.
that's "indigenous people's day" to you!
recently i got dissed by someone as being a "typically uninformed leftist". shit, i thought the teacher would pass me because i read more than 1/4th of bakunin's autobiography. damn. i guess i didn't use words like "a priori" enough on my blog.
people suck, don't they?
Indeed, they do. Nobody thinks anymore, it seems. They just spout the first thing that pops into their little pointed heads. Damned pointy-headed people! I hate them all!
To quote our fine friends over at _Buffy_:
"That's the kind of wooly-headed liberal thinking that gets you killed and eaten!"
Only here, we feast on wooly-headed neoconservatives.
Dia de la Raza!
i would tend to be inclined to say "straw-headed" rather than "wooly-headed", but then that's just my PC liberal bias.
It's worth noting who got killed and eaten in the third season closer.
Or not.
The new guy better be in tonight's episode. That's all I'm saying.
