OVERFLOW CROWD EXPECTED IN FLANDREAU COURTROOM FOR SENTENCING–Anyone hoping to witness former U.S. Rep. Bill Janklow’s sentencing today in Flandreau needs to arrive early and be ready to wait.
The hearing has generated national interest rivaling the congressman’s manslaughter trial in December, when several sessions drew capacity crowds and left wishful spectators standing outside of court.
Today, the Moody County Courthouse doors will open at 8 a.m. The third-floor courtroom will open at 10 a.m.The hearing begins at 1:30 p.m.
Most of the seating in the 91-seat courtroom will not be first-come, first-served, said court administrator Patricia Garcia Duggan. She is reserving 40 seats for the families of Janklow and motorcyclist Randy Scott. Another 30 seats will be for members of the news media, who are asked to meet at noon in the Farmers Room at the courthouse.
That will leave 25 seats for the general public, who will get priority based on when they arrive – if they are willing to wait.

NEW GOVERNOR ANNOUNCES OFFICIAL CALIFORNIA LANGUAGE–The New California Governor has just announced an agreement whereby English will be the official language of the state, rather than German, which was the other possibility. As part of the negotiations, The Terminator’s Government conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a 5-year phase-in plan that would become known as “Austro-English” (or, perhaps even better, “Austrionics”.)
In the first year, “s” will replace the soft “c”. Sertainly, this will make the sivil servants jump with joy. The hard “c” will be dropped in favour of the “k”. This should klear up konfusion, and keyboards kan have one less letter.
There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year when the troublesome “ph” will be replaced with the “f”. This will make words like fotograf 20% shorter.
In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible. Governments will enkourage the removal of double letters, which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling. Also, al wil agre that the horibl mes of the silent “e” in the languag is disgrasful and it should go away.
By the 4th yer peopl wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing “th” with “z” and “w” with “v”.
During ze fifz yer, ze unesesary “o” kan be dropd from vords kontaining “ou” and after ziz fifz yer, ve vil hav reil sensibl riten styl. Zer vil be no mor trubl or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi tu understand ech oza. Ze drem of a united urop vil finali kum tru.
If zis mad yu smil, pleas pas it on to oza pepl.

BIKERNET CARIBBEAN REPORT– One more week and we are still knee deep in the new place. I’m saying this since more or less all my time is spent there, so I really don’t know what the fuck is going on in the outside world. So, if the news for the past weeks (and this one) sounds kind of weak, you know the reason. I guess to top that off we are franticly trying to finish the choppers for Daytona, so it’s a fuckin’ full plate.
Speaking of Daytona, we will be there. We have got together with a few friends and managed to secure a pretty cool spot. Indian Larry, Billy Lane, Chica, Hank Young, Fabricator Kevin, Bikerspot and us will be there. The spot is right across the street from the Wreck at the end of Main Street heading towards Beach street (the bridge) so if you feel like it, come meet us there. The Horse will have their headquarters located at the Last resort, and the chopper show will take place the last Saturday of Bike Week, the guest judge will be Chopper Dave.
We are planning on having a nice setup for those of you who are interested in coming to Puerto Rico next December for our event, we are trying to take some time to film a cool video here, wish us luck. Also, the international launch of BikerSpot magazine for the Spanish speaking bikers will happen. There will be plenty magazines to give away, so come on by; for sure it will be a good time.I guess I will be talking more about this as the time comes, also we will be surrounded by the Discovery participants and the two new competitors, yeap, Chica and Hank Young.
By the way, these guys are going to battle it out in Feb. at the Louisville Easyriders show, so get there and vote for what you think is the best.
Anyway, I’m out of here, got to get back and work some more…..

SHOOTING SUSPECT–Baltimore County police are one step closer to finding the reported motorcycle club member who allegedly shot two men at an Edgemere night club on Jan. 2.
Last Thursday, police issued a warrant for Essex resident Michael James Moore, 42, charging him with two counts of attempted first-degree murder, two counts of first-degree assault and one count of using a handgun in a crime of violence, according to a police press release.
Police connected Moore, whose last known address was in the 1000 block of N. Marlyn Avenue, with the shooting of Charles Zepp, 23, of Eldersburg and Timothy McDowell, 38, of Frederick after an argument at Club Tattle Tails in the 2100 block of Sparrows Point Road.
Moore is a Hells Angels member who police believe became angry with the two men in part because they belong to a rival club, police said.
Zepp, who was shot in the chest, and McDowell, who was shot in the right hip while chasing Moore and a second man, were identified by witnesses as wearing the colors of the Pagans motorcycle club, police said.
Both men were flown to the Maryland Shock Trauma Center, according to police spokesman Ofc. Shawn Vinson.
