Fire And Water: If I Had My Way

If I had my way
performed by Shirley Manson

lyrics:
If I had my way
If I had my way
I’d burn this whole building down

Delilah was a woman, she was fine and fair
She had good looks and coal black hair
Delilah, she gained ground on Samson’s mind
When he saw this woman she looked so fine
Delilah, she climbed up on Samson’s knee
Said, Tell me where your strength lies, if you please.
Then she spoke so kind and she talked so fair
Until Samson said, Delilah, Cut off my hair

(Chorus)

We’ve all read about old Samson, as far back as birth
He was the strongest man that ever lived on earth
One day while Samson’s walking, walking along
Looked down on the ground and saw an old jawbone
And he stretched out his arms and his chains broke like thread
When he got to move ten thousand men was dead

(Chorus variation)

Now Samson and the lion got entwined in a fight
And Samson he jumped up and took on the lion’s might
You will know just how a lion would kill a man with his paws
Well Samson got his hands up ‘round that lion’s jaws
And he ripped the beast and killed him dead
And the bees made honey in the lion’s head

Before Jackie Robinson, there was Louis Sockalexis

"HOWES CAVE, N.Y. (AP) _ Long before Jackie Robinson endured torrents of racial taunts in breaking baseball's color barrier with the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1947, Louis Sockalexis had a bull's-eye on his back."
...
"Sockalexis's story is one of many chronicled in ``Baseball's League of Nations: A Tribute to Native Americans in Baseball,'' an exhibit on display through the end of the year at the Iroquois Indian Museum."
...

"Native Americans were expected to ignore racially charged ridicule. Nearly every player of Indian descent who stepped onto a ballfield during the first half of the 20th century was called ``Chief.'' It wasn't the only taunt: ``Redskin,'' ``Heap-Big Injun'' and chants of ``Back to the reservations,'' ``Dog Soup'' and ``Whoop, Whoop'' were part of the racist cacophony that emanated from the stands.

Bender didn't win games _ he scalped opponents. After throwing one of the best games of his career, Bender was depicted wielding a tomahawk and wearing a headdress.

Even teammates and opposing players sometimes did the taunting as teams around the country began calling themselves Indians and owners recruited Native American players as gate attractions."

Pigeon in custody for drug smuggling :(

"A Bosnian pigeon is in custody for smuggling drugs into one of the country's highest security jails, an official said. "Pigeons the world over cringe and roll their eyes at this disappointing news. Many feel that, although drug-smuggling pigeons are a minority, the high-profile news attention works to reinforce negative pigeon stereotypes and ebb away at pigeon social gains.
