Nothing to see here, move along. How much do we hate Congress this year? I didn't hate 'em enough apparently, because at the end of last month they decided to slime the stealthily resurrected "or was" amendment to NAGPRA through the Senate Indian Affairs committee. I'll have more later, but find some overview and action alerts here and here.

Update: We're out of town this weekend, to toodle along the Great River Road and finally explore Effigy Mounds National Monument. Here's an editorial from the Seattle Times arguing against the amendment. Be on the lookout in the same souce for a feature article (this Sunday?) from Kate Riley, who writes extensively on the topic. Word is that John J. Miller of National Review will have a piece up there on Monday.

Enjoy your weekend.
