SIC: Stupidity, Irony, And Clueless All Rolled Into One Photograph; "Out Of Gas" -- September 10, 2016

This photograph can be found at two entries in the new 2017 Funk and Wagnall's Dictionary of Western Slang. The two entries: "irony" and "stupidity." I am suggesting a third entry: "clueless."

This is an un-retouched photograph taken of anti-DAPL protesters just south of I-94 on their way to Standing Rock Reservation. In addition to everything else, they obviously had no concept of the large distances in North Dakota.

For those who may be unable to read the words on the cardboard "sign": "out of gas." On the window: "Oil spills. Oil kills." As if the better alternative is CBR. Clueless. From "Bill Curl's" Facebook page.

I can't make this stuff up.

Sacred Land

There are rumors that tribal leaders are willing to "trade" their sacred land for several millions of dollars. If true, that sounds like a bribe, and in some parts of the world that's illegal.
