Southampton to Preserve Native Burial Site in Water Mill


At Tuesday evening's Southampton Town Board meeting the Town Trustees  approved purchase of 9.3 water front acres in Water Mill for over  4 million dollars with money from the town's Community Preservation Fund.

The land bordered by Mecox Bay and Montauk Highway is a known site of a Native American fishing village and contains an ancient burial ground.  A 1000 year old human skull was unearthed at the site in 2006 during construction activities for a planned development.  

The Inter-Tribal Historic Preservation Task Force, comprised of members of Long Island and New England tribes, had campaigned for the purchase of this land from the owner Gregory Konner.

Chris Hedges: Stop Begging Obama to be Obama 
The right wing is not wrong. It is not the problem. We are the problem. If we do not tap into the justifiable anger sweeping across the nation, if we do not militantly push back against corporate fraud and imperial wars that we cannot win or afford, the political vacuum we have created will be filled with right-wing lunatics and proto-fascists.  
Is the Opposition to Obama Racist?
from a Minnesota legislator: "I don't think Obama is even a good speaker. I think he comes across as condescending and uppity."
