911 & Columbus Day

[Jon Ford]

Please,Mr. Bubba Baldauf, out here we've replaced "Columbus (genocide)Day" 
with Indigenous People's day, which was kicked off with a sunrise drumming 
on Alcatraz Island and some speeches on the new war--can't say it's too 
popular out here on the coast, despite the evident enthusiasm of certain 
Texans! No terrorist attacks yet-- but there's still time for it.
