Some People Really Know How To Cheer A Nigga Up

I'm more surprised than anyone, but I'm on a road trip (of sorts) with a Native American Navy buddy, and so, writing from an interesting place:

"In the early 19th century when the Quakers came from North Carolina to settle in Orange County, Indiana, they came to escape slavery. They brought with them a number of freed slaves. These free men were deeded 200 acres (0.81 km2) of land in the heart of a dense forest. Word of mouth soon spread the news, and this land became part of the "underground railroad" for runaway slaves.

For many years, the freed slaves in this area farmed, traded, and sold their labor to others while living in this settlement. A church was built and a cemetery was provided for their loved ones.

All that remains today is the cemetery. Some of the stones were broken or vandalized over the years. Several years ago, a troop of Boy Scouts came in and restored the cemetery, replacing the lost or broken stones with wooden crosses designating a grave. The name of "Little Africa" came about because of the black settlement, but "Paddy's Garden" was the name those early residents called it."

We Need An FBI-Led Joint Cultism Task Force

"Last night and into today the FBI conducted a raid against homes belonging to the Hutaree. They are a religious cult. They are not part of our militia community."

-- Mike Lackomar, of Michiganmilitia.com, on raids by a FBI-led Joint Terrorism Task Force in Michigan, Ohio and Indiana - yes, I know, I can't believe my eyes either, but even Indiana - as part of an investigation into a Christian militia group, according to The Detroit News.
