As rundown as Utica may be, they still know how to make a mean steamed ham. 

As I wrote, she has done objectively good work on Indian Country issues slightly before and since the DNA test. But the issue doesn’t start or stop there. And it’s the sentences following the ones you quoted that undergird a lot of my issues with her handling of the issue over the last seven months:

I hope that shit has raisins instead of chocolate chips. Their asses don’t deserve the good cookies.

How awful is this guy that Bannon and Priebus AGREE?!

But it’s his job as someone campaigning for office to explain how his policies would specifically help whatever audience he’s addressing. That was the point of including the video of Bill Clinton during the presidential debate with H.W.

Thank you for this. It has me reconsidering the story of my great-grandmother Fannie, who died suddenly in 1901 at age 33, leaving my 11-month-old grandmother. The family story (the one I heard anyway) was that Fannie had an ectopic pregnancy, and as a nurse, knew what it was; supposedly she let it kill her rather…
