The Mashpee Wampanoags Show Their Hand

December 14, 2007 By gladys-kravitz

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

The Mashpee Wampanoag’s show their hand (but only after the Freedom of Information Act required them to) – and guess which finger their holding up for the people of Middleboro and the South Shore – and for the future of Massachusetts when you get right down to it – by invoking the Church Bingo and Las Vegas Night exception – just like the Pequots did in Connecticut!

Just another example of an effective Good Neighbor Policy, brought to you by the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act.

Get the whole story from the Cape Cod Times!

(p.s. before I get angry comments about the doggy in the picture – please understand that no dogs were hurt in the making of this blog posting. This picture is a parody of an iconic 1973 National Lampoon Cover – a publication quite devoted to parody. Apparently, I’ve become old enough to remember when today’s icons were yesterday’s breaking news, and so I while I do recall this cover, I realize a younger generation may have missed it. I personally really like dogs and would never put one in harm’s way. – Gladys)

    I love reading your posts… and your website.  I wish I had confidence that your side to the casinos in Ma issue will succeed.  I am feeling as worried as the dog looks.

And just like that, the Legislative Affairs Committee of the Everett City Council has zero diverse voices but no one cares as the “fight against racism” is highly selective, opportunistic, and politicized around here.

The Meaning of African American Studies. The discipline emerged from Black struggle. Now the College Board wants it to be taught with barely any mention of Black Lives Matter. #UrbanAgenda #BOSpoli #MApoli

It’s a VERY good thing I missed the @celtics game tonight. The final score looks like a VERY stressful game.🙄🤦🏾‍♂️

Those who are chronically homeless without shelter suffer from high rates of untreated severe substance use disorders & mental illness. States have a legal & ethical obligation to step in & help vulnerable people who can’t act for themselves. #MAPOLI https://theconversation.com/the-ethical-dilemmas-behind-plans-for-involuntary-treatment-to-target-homelessness-mental-illness-and-addiction-198707?fbclid=IwAR2pYO2-l7UKBci_C7st5Jhdld1u_f_hXpbQc_HCf5vnJ9D1a1QyJ199D_8
