It gets funny after awhile

One of the best perks of working at a radio station is free, unlimited access to the AP. This just came in.


WASHINGTON (AP) - A half-million American Indian plaintiffs are
appealing a federal judge's recent decision to award them much less
than they wanted in a long-running trust case.
The judge, in Washington, ruled the plaintiffs are entitled to
$455 million -- a fraction of the $47 billion they sought.
The 12-year-old suit says the Indians were swindled out of
billions of dollars in oil, gas, grazing, timber and other
royalties overseen by the Interior Department since 1887.
At issue was how much of the royalty money was withheld from
them over the years and whether it was held in the U.S. treasury at
a benefit to the government. The federal judge said the plaintiffs
did not successfully argue that it was.
Many of the records have been lost or destroyed over the years.
The Indians' appeal was scheduled to be filed today.

Will this get any play outside of Souf Dakota? Will it get any play IN Souf Dakota?

I read it on the afternoon news.

My white guilt is assuaged for yet another day.
