What “BIA” really means

- Found at the — ahem — rummage sale in Clallam Bay.

- Other pow-wow shirts: “White Men Can’t Dance” and “My heroes have always killed cowboys.”

From our friends in Neah Bay, I suspect (disclaimer: but not an official council t-shirt). There’s nothing funnier — and more appalling — than the truth. Comedy starts in trauma.
We better hope all these people don’t start drumming for Holocaust Memorials — that’s a LOT of tribes to be building expensive mea culpa for. You think they’d let us get away with 40 acres and a mule?
Anybody up for computing how many people we and our ancestors drove off their land, killed, infected, neglected, and otherwise persecuted by government policy? And multiplying that by monies owed? In terms of modern currencies?
If Israel can come back, then there’s no statute of limitations on national genocide and land theft.
And you thought the bailout would be expensive. Pray all they want to do is build a nice, clean, art-supporting casino next door.
Maybe we can get training running the blackjack tables?
(By the way, the shirt flew out the door.)
I want my money back
Has anyone actually faced the REAL problem with free-market health care?
You have to pay for it the whole time you’re working. Then, about the time you really need it, you retire or leave work and — what happens to the thousands of dollars your employer gave to the privatized health-care industry?
That’s right — the health-care industry takes your money and runs.
The Boomers paid millions if not billions of dollars to a health-care industry that took our money, and here we are in our old age with no health care.
And Rush Limbaugh is screaming about the Free Market? Being forced to hand over money all our lives for health care we’re going to lose in the end don’t sound so Free Market to me. We’ve been forced to create and prop up an industry, and we got little or nothing back.
Now my question: how much stock does Limbaugh have in this industry? How much of our money went into his pocket and those of the Pirate Bush Dynasty?
Unless somebody was getting paid off for this robbery, there’s no other reason to support it.
Questions should be put.
