Do y'all remember that little dust-up over Santa Claus last year in the town of Kensington in Montgomery County? Somebody complained about Santa Claus lighting the town's Christmas tree in an annual ceremony marking the holidays, so the town's elected pooh-bahs decided to ban Santa from the festivities. Bah-humbug. Well, welcome to Burtonsville, Maryland, where Paint Branch High School chose as its fall play an adaptation of Agatha Christie's "Ten Little Indians." Uh-oh. Yep. One little Indian got his loincloth all up in a bunch. Richard Regan, who's been leading an effort to ban the use of Indian names for high school sports teams, sent a letter to the principal of the school complaining that the title of the play was offensive to Native Americans, American Indians, Indian Natives, or whatever he wants to be called these days. Well, Chief Regan's one-brave warpath was enough to send the local school bureaucrats scurrying in retreat. Montgomery County schools spokeswoman Kate Harrison told the Washington Times yesterday <http://washingtontimes.com/metro/20021112-23347395.htm>, "We have no plans to pull production of the play, but we have changed the name. For this performance, the play will be called 'And Then There Were None.'" Harrison wanted to be "sensitive to the concerns and issues that were raised by Mr. Regan." Where, oh where, was Kate Harrison at Little Big Horn when Gen. Custer REALLY could have used her? Well, I couldn't find an email address for Ms. Harrison, but her office phone number is: (301) 279-3853. And if you live outside the area but are signed up for GOPLongDistance.com, a 60-second rant will cost you less than one Indian-head nickel. Heck, for that price you might even want to send some smoke signals to the school superintendent, Dr. Jerry Weast, at (301) 279-3381. Or if you're really hooked on using this Internet thingy, you can email the Paint Branch school principal, Jeanette Dixon, at: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For now though, it looks like it might be a beautiful Indian summer day outside and I'm gonna brave the rush-hour traffic of road warriors and head to a big pow-wow at Chief Grover Norquist's downtown D.C. tee-pee where insensitive conservatives meet every week for a war council, after which we all sit around and smoke peace pipes.

They stand for many of the same principles as do conservative Republicans, but all too often their indiscriminate fielding of candidates results in the defeat of conservatives and the election of big-government liberals. "Here in Alabama, it appears conservative Republican Congressman Bob Riley [ACU Lifetime Rating of 96] has defeated liberal Democrat Governor Don Siegelman by about 3,000 votes, but Siegelman has not conceded. The Libertarian candidate, John Sophocleus, received about 20,000+ votes in the election.In the unlikely event Siegelman wins this election, Sophocleus and the Libertarians will have to live with the fact that they contributed to Siegelman's victory." - News & Views reader John Eidsmoe *********************************** Screwin' the Pooch on the Left Coast "You might want to add this one to your list of Libertarian blunders: California Senate District 12. Rusty Areias (D) 62,163 47.9% Jeffrey Denham (R) 61,879 47.7% David Eaton (L) 5,797 4.4% "We worked on this one so it's even more difficult to accept.There are still a few mail-in ballots to be counted and it's destined for a recount, but we'd be beating Areias (a guy disliked even by Democrat staffers) even if just 10% of those stinking Libertarians had voted with their brains and not their butts." - News & Views reader, personal friend, good husband, proud father and owner of Competitive Edge Research and Communications in San Diego, John E. Nienstedt, Sr. *********************************** NION Lights Wanna have some fun in your "spare" time. Take a cyber walk over to the "Not In Our Name" web site (http://www.nion.us/SIGNERS.htm) and scroll through the names of the supposedly 30,000 people who have signed this limousine-liberal-inspired petition opposing giving Saddam Hussein what-for. It's riddled with obviously made-up signers, such as the recently-added I.P. Daily and Barney the Purple Dinosaur. My favorite, though, is "Jonathan S. Tuttle, US Army, Capt., 4077 Mobile Army Surgical Hospital"Any fan of the late-great TV series MASH will appreciate the pure irony of this listing. For those who don't remember, Tuttle was a made-up soldier in this made-up show who now appears as a made-up name on a goofy liberal web site. Beautiful. *********************************** That Ol' Double Standard "Florida radio host Neil Rogers has been broadcasting a racist song parody about National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice, Fox News Channel reports: Among the song's lines: 'Is you their black-haired answer-mammy who be smart?' and 'Does they like how you shine their shoes, Condoleezza? Or the way you wash and park the whitey's cars?' "Says Niger Innis of the Congress of Racial Equality: 'If Rogers, instead of being a white liberal, were a white conservative like Rush Limbaugh using the type of language that Rogers was using, he'd be kicked off the air.'" - Best of the Web, 11/11/02 *********************************** And Now You Know the Rest of the Story "To hear it from William Bennett, the number of Americans 'seeking' treatment for marijuana is rising. The former drug czar is deliberately misrepresenting government data in an effort to justify the war on some drugs. "Record numbers of Americans arrested for marijuana possession have been forced into treatment by the criminal justice system. The resulting distortion of treatment statistics is then used to make the claim that marijuana is 'addictive.' "There is a big difference between voluntary treatment and government-coerced treatment. Zero-tolerance drug laws do not distinguish between occasional use and chronic abuse. The coercion of Americans who prefer marijuana to martinis into taxpayer-funded treatment centers says a lot about U.S. government priorities, but absolutely nothing about the relative harm of marijuana." - Robert Sharpe, Program Officer, Drug Policy Alliance, Washington Times, 11/8/02 *********************************** Another One Bites the Dust "It is with great sorrow and sadness that I am announcing my move from Las Vegas," was the opening sentence of a letter we just received from Doc Weaver, the Ob/Gyn who delivered our two daughters. Why? "As you probably know, the malpractice crisis has hit Las Vegas with a fury. I had hoped and prayed that the special session (of the Nevada Legislature in August) would give some immediate resolution to the malpractice situation. However, this is not the case. I have kept saying 'They will not let it get that bad,' but no one of any authority has done anything, so doctors are continuing to leave. I have decided to relocate my practice to Oklahoma." A similar letter could very well be coming to your mailbox soon. In case you're not aware of the situation, the malpractice crisis Doc Weaver refers to is the skyrocketing cost of malpractice insurance due to lawsuit abuse by grubby personal injury attorneys. A lot of people turned a deaf ear to this problem when the target was those "bad" tobacco companies. But now the ambulance-chasers are hitting much closer to home. This isn't a manufactured "crisis" like the ones the left is so used to conjuring up. This one is real . and it could have deadly consequences, literally. Start paying attention to this issue, folks. It's ready to explode. *********************************** Disorder In the Court Some more examples of a legal system run amok from our friends at www.overlawyered.com.
