Special thanks to the 4000 dollar 60 inch HDTV monitor LI bought me to produce and edit movies.

NJO: Originally posted on the blog Feathers of Steel at liberabit.blogspot.com. "LI" is The Leadership Institute. There was probably a bit more to this post, but the above title and sentence or sentence fragment are the only bits of it I could glean from the webs. Credit here goes to "wanderindiana" in this post on Daily Kos.

The matter of the Leadership Institute's role in providing James with video equipment is dealt with in further detail in this 2009 blog post (mirrored here) by Ben Wetmore.

The relevant paragraph:

"All the good things at the Institute while I was there happened despite the management, or by going around them. I was nearly fired, as was my boss Cong. Steve Stockman, for buying the initial video equipment that James used. It was a maddening place to work, frustrated by reality, exasperated by managerial incompetence but buoyed by hope and ideology that kept people working in the worst of circumstances usually until they were forcibly expelled."

The title of this post - either "Dixie" or "Dixie Special" - could therefore possibly be some sort of reference to Steve Stockman and/or Ben Wetmore, who are both from Texas.
