Moonwolf's Lair

It’s not easy being a Supreme Court Justice, I imagine.  As we’ve seen with the confirmation hearings in recent years, just getting the job demands you be laid bare before a public and will be judged not for your deeds, but for your ideology.

But once they’re confirmed and take up their place on that bench, they’re supposed to take on the tough questions they were grilled so hard to determine their views for.

That includes the ugly dark questions of racism and bias that have formed such a core part of the identity of the United States since before its inception.

Oh dear, it seems someone has stolen “Chief Zee“‘s tomahawk.

My heart goes out to the dear gent … OK, no, that would be a lie – it doesn’t.

The guy still seems totally incapable of understanding just how downright offensive and racist his antics are considered by many.

I guess it can only be a total ignorance of the issues he ends up being a caricature of that he thinks it must be a “prank”. It doesn’t seem to even remotely cross his mind, given his remarks, that anyone might just have taken his tomahawk because of how racist his portrayal of NDNs is.

Junk mail tends to get skipped over around here pretty quickly, but I guess advertisers have finally figured this out, and will do anything to get people’s attention.

They certainly did with the copy of “Auto Selector” that arrived here the other day. Right on the front page, ignoring the large black GMC SUV covering most of it, is a picture of some black guy dressed up in some caricature of American Indian regalia, complete with obligatory mini-skirted-and-high-heeled girl beside him.

Underneath the picture however reads the text “Spotlight on Chief Zee” with a page.

Oh dear.
