From earlier tonight. Yes, I'm here.
Here I'm in a photo taken by Katie Duenwald (Senator Duenwald's daughter), as I sit with Scott Olson of the Hughes Co. GOP. waiting for things to begin tonight.
Why should we be surprised?
BIG hat tip to SD Watch who notes that a play has been developed based on the writings of Leonard Peltier:
A play about convicted murderer Leonard Peltier? Whether it is good, bad, or indifferent, I don’t see it playing in South Dakota any time soon. Maybe we should all see it, whatever our views on Peltier’s guilt or innocence, but man, this is going to reopen some major wounds in our state.Go read it here (with a youtube clip).
Yuck. Why should we be surprised about this? "Murderabilia," or the fascination regarding the art and ramblings of convicted killers has been a sick underground trend for some time now. I'd just add this to the pile. To me, it's no more than wanting one of John Wayne Gacy's clown pictures.
Somehow, I doubt the play is going to document what Peltier was convicted for. The killing of FBI agents Coler and Williams from fatal wounds to the head delivered by a high-powered rifle at contact range.
If you're really interested in the history …

at first i didnt like anonymous postings. but maybe it gives me a way to talk to my fellow repubs without the clutter of names. and this blog gives me a peek at what the other side is thinking. that aint a bad thing...sometimes they are right...sometimes they have ideas too.
heres to pat powers....you got your chin out there a mile, and its healthy for all of us to shoot at the ducks you put up in the air. keep going!
