Fantastic news from the war on crime

All you nattering nabobs out there who refuse to acknowledge all the good things the administration does will no doubt be saddened by the dramatic drop in gang related shooting deaths this year. In unrelated news, the number one cause of death among inner-city gang members is now heart attack.

The latest in the drama of Cobell v. Norton had the U.S. Circuit Court ordering the Department of the Interior to pay plaintiff's attorneys fees, to the tune of $7 million. The DOI has graciously elected to scrape together the money by looting Indian programs. According to associate deputy interior secretary Jim Cason "This was not a Park Service or a Fish and Wildlife problem, it's an Indian problem."

Man, I haven't seen the words "Indian problem" in print for a while.

According to the article, "[t]he Indian plaintiffs called the decision a "devious and deceptive" attempt to punish Indians for winning in court."

No shit.
