Back

For those of you who were wondering, I'm back after a vacation out to South Dakota. I saw many wonderful things with my baby blues and let me tell you all, I am a man transformed. The trip down to the Wounded Knee massacre site was quite humbling.

I will be talking about what I saw as well as many of the thoughts that I had rolling through my head as I had a massive download of Americana in the last four days. Stay tuned...

Interesting article on polling and characterizing Americans based on that.

Grist for the mill.

So, M, how are you going to spin that?

Ignore that the man was caught stealing?

Ignore that he was prepared to murder people at the time the company asked him to resign? [Oh, and where was the CORPORATE FORCE in this one nimrod?]

No, no, I know.

You'll just ignore that this guy ever existed, let alone that he went off on a murderous spree. Doesn't fit any of your predigested narratives.
