Filling out the FAFSA every year is as much a part of college as binge drinking and the morning after pill. But Jackie points out how easy it is to miss out on this seminal, government-subsidized loan and grant hunting experience by accidentally clicking on FAFSA.com, run by a non-government entity that soaks you for $80 to use its financial aid-finding services.

Once described as “the most famous American Indian since Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse” by the LA Times, and pop-rendered by Warhol himself, Means has been a part of public demonstrations, activist interventions and performances, and continues to be a controversial figure in American politics, art, and culture. Means is also a printmaker and painter, most famously known for his lithograph series titled “Indian Killers” (2004). In an act of “political performance” part satire-part political statement, Means ran for office as V.P. to Larry Flynt in 1984. In Hollywood, his was the voice of Chief Powhatan in Disney’s Pocahontas (1995) and he acted in Natural Born Killers (1994) and Last of the Mohicans (1992). Most recently, he starred in “Palestine, New Mexico,” a work by Richard Montoya of Culture Clash which premiered in LA last month.
