New Year’s Eve 2010 happens once in a blue moon

THERE will be a blue moon on Thursday as New Year’s Eve revellers welcome in 2010 – the first time since 1990 that a blue moon has coincided with New Year’s Eve. A blue moon – the second full moon in a calendar month – occurs only every 2½ years on average. This month, full moons [...]

Apple’s iSlate

This will be especially useful while you're stuck in some airport to which you've been diverted after a creepy little nerd wouldn't stop playing his video game with the sound on for five hours on an American Airlines flight and a brawl ensued. (Disclosure: This happened to me the other day. I had to be restrained from attempting a citizen's arrest on the little runt. While his father, an employee of a well-known tech firm, sat there oblivious.) So now let's talk about the price of the iTablet, iSlate, iMod, iThingy. Thankfully, everyone is agreed on this.

Happy Holidays from Leonard Peltier

I also know what this country did and continues to do to me and many others. While they demand I make a false confession for the sake of my freedom, they show no remorse for the loss of much of my life, or the lives of Joe Stuntz and countless others they have murdered over the generations simply for being who they were. Those lives are meaningless when compared to their precious FBI, I guess. And now, some of the very ones responsible for the deaths and suffering of so many of my people, are peddling books and claiming to be a friend of the Indian. We’ve seen this before, and I’ll speak more about this soon. I remain proud of what I have stood for and mindful of what real justice is. In this season of love and forgiveness, please say a prayer for all of those who never knew justice and others who have such difficulty in finding it still today.

The Crow Creek Sioux Tribe Land Seizure, Need Help

We encourage you to drop a few bucks, if not a $20 bill into the mail today. Mainstream media needs to contact Brandon and expose this outrageous violation of human rights in America. The tribal lands he's protecting have burial sites of his ancestors. Yes...it was his ancestors that stopped General Custer when Union soldiers were sent west to round-up the American Indians while the lust for gold and buffalo skin was the fever in the mid-1800's. We're coming full circle...
