At RHS This Was Peggy's Song

Of Course She's Lying, but That's OK. Thank You for My Vision, and the Blindness in Which I Saw Further!

Old Lodge Skins: Come out and fight! It is a good day to die! Thank You for making me a Human Being! Thank You for helpin' me to become a warrior! Thank You for my victories, and for my defeats! Thank You for my vision, and the blindness in which I saw further! You make all things and direct them in their ways, O Grandfather. And now You have decided the Human Beings will soon walk a road that leads nowhere. I am gonna die now, unless death wants to fight. And I ask You for the last time to grant me my old power to make things happen.
Old Lodge Skins: Take care of my son here. See that he doesn't go crazy.
Old Lodge Skins: There is an endless supply of white men. There has always been a limited number of human beings.
Old Lodge Skins: Am I still in this world?
Jack Crabb: Yes, Grandfather.
Old Lodge Skins: I was afraid of that. Well, sometimes the magic works. Sometimes, it doesn't.
Old Lodge Skins: This boy is no longer a boy. He's a brave. He is little in body, but his heart is big. His name shall be "Little Big Man."
Old Lodge Skins: Let's go back to the teepee and eat, my son. My new snake wife cooks dog very well.
Jack Crabb: All right, Grandfather.
Old Lodge Skins: She also has a very soft skin. The only trouble with snake women is they copulate with horses, which makes them strange to me. She say's she doesn't. That's why I call her "Doesn't Like Horses". But, of course, she's lying.
Jack Crabb: Of course, Grandfather.

Here's to Sally.

Garryowen

Garryowen (now a neighborhood in Limerick) was, a small “town where the 5th Royal Irish Lancers made their home. The town's name, Garryowen, means ‘Owen's Garden’; but the old tune soon came to become associated with the Lancers' drinking. The Irish poet Thomas Moore wrote the words around 1807.”

 See, also, They Died With Their Boots On.

"And so was born the immortal 7th U.S. CAVALRY which cleared the plains for a ruthlessly advancing civilization that spelled doom to the red race."

Support Your Local Jailor. Jesse Lunderby Fired for Not Wearing Niqab.

Jessie Lunderby, the 21-year-old Washington County jailer, has been fired for appearing in public without her niqab.  See, picture at left.  In a five-page letter to Lunderby, Sheriff Tim Helder said that with her face revealed, there would be "much interest" in her among inmates.  See, It's official.  A spokesperson for the Sheriff's office said Jesse was not singled out.  "No female employee is allowed to be in uniform in public without a niqab and no employee of either gender is allowed to be nekid at any time."

One More Time.
