Obama administration moves to settle Cobell

WASHINGTON – The Obama administration has taken a definitive step to settle a long-running trust mismanagement class action lawsuit involving hundreds of thousands of Native Americans.

The Department of the Interior announced Dec. 8 that it had negotiated a settlement to the Cobell v. Salazar litigation, which could amount to a $1.4 billion payback to Indian plaintiffs involved in the case.

“We are here today to right a past wrong,” Interior Secretary Ken Salazar said during a briefing on the plan held at Interior headquarters.

I'm the begining God created Africa. Africa was shacked and drug to America.

The Water was Muddy
And the Wolf did Howl

In the fifties
At about "Two hours past Midnight"
A Young Zappa put a nickel in the juke
To discover that Johnny "Guitar"
Had a "Hot Little Momma".
"Mary Could melt the snow
That all she could do,
But JGW's hot little momma
Could boil the water when Mary was through."

In the sixties
Clapton may have been God to the little white boys,
But he understood that his divenity came from his Daddy,
Freddie, who was the King.

In the 80's
Stevie Ray
And Robert Cray
Were the blues of that day.

Then Mr. Scorcese pictured it all.
