Where in the world?
These are serious times, deadly serious times and yet–yet there are moments of sublime humor. Though the degree of sublimity depends upon your own individual subjective sense of humor. Btw, if anyone is interested, there is a little town called Sublimity in Oregon. Really, I’ve been there. Sublimity has a beautiful park of OLD trees, a post office built in 1890 and a few cemeteries for your touring pleasure. Now back to the main menu:
Oh lordy, lordy, lordy! I first heard about Fox’s inability to find Egypt via KKFI radio–but I thought they were being sarcastic and facetious–until a friend shared the image. I just could not keep it all to myself. Have to share it with everyone else who missed this priceless piece of world news coverage.
Where’s a geography teacher when Fox News desperately needs one? Mapquest anyone? Got a 3D globe? Rand McNally wall map? Hey, they only report “news”, right? What do we expect from journalists? Who needs geographic accuracy? Might be useful for a “smart bomb” programmer—or not. Just send out the drones.
Oh hey, ABC is on the ball–or the “CAN” as in this case. Yes, if you haven’t had the dubious pleasure of tear gas in person, this is its package. complete with Made in the USA. Click the can to read more news coverage–American style. OOPS! WE make this stuff? Export it? Our economy needs some serious greening from the looks of things.
ABC: Made in America
OOPS! And a major OOOOUCH! to everyone enjoying unemployment in America. What can one billion American dollars buy? Depends on where you’re spending it. It could house a few people made homeless by the ongoing foreclosure crisis. It would buy A LOT of propane for folks on the Cheyenne River Reservation in South Dakota –which, btw, contains THE POOREST county in the USA–Ziebach. What would you spend a BILLION dollars on? According to Democracy Now! the American government has been “donating” at least a billion dollars a year to the Egyptian government for the last 30 years.

Clinton did and didn’t say about Egypt at http://www.democracynow.org/2011/1/27/egyptian_american_activist_hillary_clinton_forget
Visual Aid: One Billion American Dollars
Come on, don’t be shy–what would you do with a BILLION dollars every year?

A little touch of Joy Harjo on the “disappearing” of First Nations People in America along with some clearly not disappeared poetry and music of her own. I have actually encountered people who think that there are no Native Americans. It’s an odd notion to hear from the mouths of educated, intelligent people. But it’s not really that surprising considering how seldom anyone references American Indians in the media.
So who wants to talk about the poorest county in the United States according to the recent census data?

These documents are from Record Group 75, National Archives, Kansas City, Missouri. All materials are in the public domain. These are posted in order to provide access to the information that would otherwise be unavailable to some people. It is also posted in order to educate and inform others about the living conditions on the Cheyenne River Indian Reservation, South Dakota, in 1922. The attitudes conveyed in the writings are the sole responsiblity of the authors–who are currently unknown.
I’ve posted this for Rudy Little Shield who recently ventured into my blogcasa and ‘waved’ with his words. Sorry but there is no photo to accompany the text. Considering that this is from the Cherry Creek District the lack will probably be no surprise to Little Shield. If I discover a photograph in the future, I will post it.
