In this video from Flora.tv, author and actor Peter Coyote criticizes the lack of progressive appointees in Barack Obama's cabinet but also adds, "a cattle thief would be better than what we've had."

This was just a snippet of a longer video that features Coyote talking about the book Ringolevio by author Emmett Grogan. Ringolevio tells the tale of the Diggers, San Francisco's irreverent urban guerrillas, activists, and masters of street theater co-founded by Coyote and Grogan in the 1960s.
