novel, "Not Enough Indians."
This clip contains explicit language.
-----
Meet the residents of Gammage, NY, a town so
far down on its luck that WalMart would
rather site its new store in the middle of a
lake than in Gammage. Mayor Zorn and the rest
of the town council are on the verge of
declaring the town bankrupt, when inspiration
strikes. Why not petition for Indian Tribal
status and open a casino? With the gears in
Washington appropriately greased, the ink is
barely dry on their Tribal certification when
Gammage is transformed into the sovereign
nation of the long-lost Filaquonsett tribe.
It's only a matter of trading in their
housecoats and galoshes for buckskins and
moccasins, and boning up on their tribal lore
and ceremonial dances, until the "Council of
Elders" is ready to import some casino
backing and gaming know-how...Funny, smart,
antic, and scathing, "Not Enough Indians" is
a brilliant ensemble piece mixing
misadventure, hilarity, and the great
American dream, from actor, musician, SNL
cast member, voice of The Simpsons, and now
novelist Harry Shearer.
Carl Hiaasen writes, "Harry Shearer has one
of America's great satirical minds, and he's
in beautifully wicked form with Not Enough
Indians." Harry Shearer's nationally
syndicated radio show, Le Show, has been on
the air for sixteen years, and his political
blog runs in huffingtonpost.com - Cody's
