In a similar vein, 20+ years ago I remember an anonymous Amazon review of Aphex Twin’s album “26 Mixes for Cash” said that it was composed of songs written about Johnny Cash. That fake tidbit has been stuck in my head ever since.

South Texas—we went to the King Ranch in middle school. Nothing to see except cattle and brushland.

This is America, love it or leave it, snowflake!

Gays can get married and adopt children, that’s the law!

Brown people were here before us and will be here after us, better get used to it!

The Affordable Care Act is the law, tough shit, your preexisting conditions are covered!

It’s illegal to discriminate based on sex, race, or nationality, go cry me a river!

If you don’t like it, leave. This is America!

Have you looked at the House (House Report 107-609) and Senate (Senate Report 107-175) Reports on the Homeland Security Act? They offer a good background and dissenting views. The Senate report also lists the HSGAC staffers who helped draft the legislation, many of whom still work in government.

I rarely comment on these things, but these are unusual times. 249 years ago the Declaration called Natives "Merciless Indian Savages.," and the Constitution excluded us from protection while enabling our dispossession. We remember this history not to cause harm, but to grasp the consequences./1
Ann Coulter commenting that "We (meaning the U.S., presumably) did not kill enough Indians."

I felt the same way seeing Sunny Day Real Estate during their Diary 30th Anniversary tour last year! I was surrounded by kids who were born at least ten years after that album was released.

As a former Senate staffer who started out as a staff assistant answering phones, I want to second this. Most of these junior staffers who interface with the public probably agree with you! They’re logging your calls in their correspondence system, and likely on pen and paper right now, so (1/2)

If you have time, check out Natv in Broken Arrow. The chef/owner is a Cherokee Nation citizen and they serve Indigenous food! For a no-frills burger place, Ron’s is classic. Try the chili burger! For good BBQ: Leon’s, Burn Co, 1907, Oakheart, Oklahoma Style, or Big Daddy’s.
