The other day I received an assignment for our visit to the Argus Leader. I was to interview Robert Morast, the entertainment editor at the Argus Leader newspaper and write a profile on him. That will be another piece, but something he said was very interesting.

Morast interviewed Otep Shamaya, vocalist from the rock band Otep a while ago.

“She’s really cool, very artistic,” Morast said.

  • Crows wait in line for more than six hours to hear the Democratic presidential candidate. 'Somebody finally recognized us enough to come an extra few hours,' says one tribal member.
