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.

I agree with George Will when he said that Giuliani has one of the most successful conservative records of the last fifty years.
Fred Thompson has a similar appeal but the front-loaded primaries will make his winning nearly impossible.
sure, we could do better. but why bother?
Well, Fred Thompson DOES have 10 years experience as a former US Senator and was a former special counsel to the Governor of Tennesse, as well as minority counsel on the Watergate Committe.
Surely, that must count as at least a little more political experience as Obama!
When you look at his record, he's much more liberal than either Tim Johnson or Stephanie Herseth (not to mention Stan Adelstein and the Mainstream Mafia). Why would we want someone like that to carry the banner for our party?
Thompson isn't perfect, but at least he's a Republican...
The important part of the party will vote for Fred--that is the part with all the voters.
Giuliani is strong on crime, terrorism, and he's pro-growth. He is a proven leader. I am a pro-life, pro-gun conservative and I will support him. He says that he will chose strict-constructionist judges and, unlike most politicians, I believe him.
If that is not enough, then I suspect that Hillary will give you even more incentive to vote.
