On June 25, 1876, Lt. Col. George A. Custer and his 7th Cavalry were wiped out by Sioux and Cheyenne Indians in the Battle of Little Big Horn in Montana.
Not exactly news, but I have a couple of points to make. We're all familiar with "The Battle of the Little Big Horn", wherein a small force thought it could subdue a larger one and split its forces in the arrogant belief that "white and might make right". The force that Custer committed to the actual fight was wiped out to a man.
I have always thought that the winner got to name the fight. The Sioux and Cheyenne called it "The Greasy Grass Fight". I guess that only applies if you have a written language and a printing press to make history come out however you want it to. That's point number one.
Point number two is this: WE are the Indians in this desperate battle against Bush and his arrogant cavalry of evil. Howsomever, our computers are our printing presses, and history does not have to come out like Bush and his media dogs want it to.
Stay in the saddle and ride 'em hard, boys and girls.
