Running Eagle

San Carlos, AZ

During a campaign tour of the Apache Nation Wednesday, Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry said he had a plan to increase every Native American's income by $40,000 a year. Senator Kerry refused repeated requests for details of his plan, however. He also told the Apaches that during his Senate career, he has voted YES 9,637 times for every Indian issue ever introduced.

Before his departure, the Apache Tribe presented the Presidential candidate a plaque inscribed with his new Indian name, Running Eagle.

After Kerry left, tribal officials explained that Running Eagle is a bird so full of shit it can't fly.

I originally received this as email and his Indian name was "Walking Eagle" not "Running Eagle," but was amused enough to check it on Snopes which, of course, claims it is false. However, they go on to state, "The setting also works to enhance the validity of the assessment, as Senator Kerry has been pursuing the Native American vote by making pledges that may prove hard to keep."

Just a ping for my ping buddies, because I've neglected you today. ;')
George W. Bush will win reelection by a margin of at least ten per cent.
