A look at the Ojibwe tribe of Northern Wisconsin and their struggle to uphold the tribe's treaty right to spear fish in off-reservation waters. The film exposes the ugliness of racism, but also reveals the beauty of the Ojibway prophesy that speaks of cultural rebirth in a time known to Ojibwes as the Seventh Fire. Produced and directed by Sandra Sunrising Osawa.

QUOTE OF THE DAY
"When we first went to Littleton I did not know that the number one employer of the parents of the Columbine massacre kids was Lockheed Martin — the number one weapons manufacturer in the United States."
- - Michael Moore
RHINO HERE: Michael Moore's new documentary, Bowling For Columbine opened in New York and Los Angeles this weekend. I went to see it Saturday night in a packed theatre. This is definitely his best film yet and given the topic (guns/fear/war) and the timing of the movie's release (as shrub & company push their war), I believe it will prove to be one of the most important films of the year. It utilizes a variety of techniques from archival footage and animation to some of Michael's trademark street theatre. It features appearances by a diverse a group of players including Dick Clark, Charlton Heston, Marilyn Manson, Terry Nichols, Chris Rock, etc. etc.
Bowling For Columbine became the first documentary to be invited to the Cannes Film Festival official selection for fifty-five years. It competed for the prestigious Palm D'Or with traditional feature films and was awarded a newly created special award. Many critics hailed the feature length documentary as a sign of the rebirth of the form. I can't urge you strongly enough to go see this film when it opens in your town.

...I said that I was concerned Senator Hillary Clinton might vote in favor of shrub's war since I assume she intends to run for President in 2008, and thinks she needs to show she's tough enough to be Commander in Chief. So I called her office and left a message for her that if she did so, this 5th generation Democrat would never vote for her for anything ever. Well, she did it. As described in the excerpt below from Maureen Dowd's Sunday N.Y. Times column, Hillary voted to let the president use force in Iraq because she didn't want the president to use force in Iraq. Giving Mr. Bush bipartisan support, she said, would make his success at the U.N. "more likely, and, therefore, war less likely." Oh well, anyone got any other ideas for a demo potus candidate for 2008? Or for that matter, for 2004?
Here is a list of the whimp-ass Democratic Senators who voted for war:
Blanche Lincoln, Dianne Feinstein, Christopher Dodd, Joseph Lieberman, Joseph Biden, Thomas Carper, Bill Nelson, Max Cleland, Zell Miller, Evan Bayh, Tom Harkin, John Breaux, Mary Landrieu, John Kerry, Jean Carnahan, Max Baucus, Ben Nelson, Harry Reid, Robert Torricelli, Hillary Clinton, Charles Schumer, John Edwards, Byron Dorgan, Ernest "Fritz" Hollings, Thomas Daschle, Tim Johnson, Maria Cantwell, Jay Rockefeller, Herb Kohl.

By MAUREEN DOWD, NY Times, 10/13/02
WASHINGTON — This has always been a place where people say the opposite of what they mean. But last week, the capital soared to ominous new Orwellian heights. Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton voted to let the president use force in Iraq because she didn't want the president to use force in Iraq. Giving Mr. Bush bipartisan support, she said, would make his success at the U.N. "more likely, and, therefore, war less likely."
The White House feigned interest in negotiation while planning for annexation without representation. The Democrats were desperate to put the war behind them, so they put the war in front of them. They didn't want to seem weak, so they made the president stronger, which makes them weaker.
Mr. Bush said he needed Congressional support to win at the U.N., but he wants to fail at the U.N. so he can install his own MacArthur as viceroy of Iraq. (Poor Tommy Franks may finally have to leave Tampa.)
Mr. Bush says he's in a rush to go to war with Iraq because it's so strong, but he's in a rush to go to war with Iraq because it's so weak. In his Cincinnati speech, he warned of a menacing Iraqi drone that could fly across the ocean and spray germs or chemicals on us. But Pentagon experts say the drone could not make the trip and would have to be disassembled, shipped over, sneaked in and reassembled.
Mr. Bush said he wanted an independent 9/11 commission to investigate more broadly what went wrong with the government before 9/11. But now he's trying to kill the panel because he already knows just about everything went wrong before 9/11. He doesn't want us to know. Doesn't he know that we already know?
The president's father lamented in his diary in 1991 that his Persian Gulf war didn't have a clean end because "there is no battleship Missouri surrender." Now the son wants to skip the surrender and turn Baghdad into Houston East, putting a branch of the Petroleum Club at the intersection of the Tigris and the Euphrates...
