Revival of the Shame Pole

A Cordova fisherman touches on Tlingit heritage to create a "shame pole" for the uncollected billions Exxon owes Alaska over the 1989 spill.

A classic version of the shame pole is the Three Frogs pole on Wrangell island, erected over inappropriate impregnation and debts incurred therein.

Bush years, Alan Greenspan, bad wars, environmental degradation, health care, etc, etc, etc, I expect a run on shame poles. Get your order in now.
