Skinned

In exciting news Washington Redskins’ faithful have been awaiting as eagerly as they do an extra-point try, the Supreme Court has declined to look into a case that alleges the NFL team’s name is offensive to Native Americans. Now maybe the high court will do something about the name of the once-feared New England team, which after last night’s el-foldo against Peyton Manning no longer deserves to be known as the Patriots.

In the age of Obama, "Patriot" has a new meaning.

I would initiate a law suit that would upset many faithful by suggesting that the "Fighting Irish" promotes negative stereotypes of the irish in that they like to get drunk and fight.

I can see Congress now having hearings to rid all sports of politically incorrect names and declaring that henceforth it will be the:
San Francisco Marxists
The New York Stimulus
The Los Angeles Better than you
The New Orleans It's Bush's Fault
The Chicago Olympics
The Miami Castros
The Baltimore Affirmative Action
The Washington Obamas
The Pittsburgh 57 Varieties
The Detroit Autos
The Houston Climate Changers
The St. Louis Wind Turbines
The Cincinnati Fraud Preventers
The Cleveland Environmentalists
The Nashville Nationalizers
The Anaheim Socialists
The Dallas Confucious
The Denver Zen
the list is unimaginably diverse as to new team names to show enlightenment. And think of all the new jobs created as the new colors are chosen, and new uniforms made, new marketing and promotion efforts created -- it'll be an endless cornucopia of helpful pork projects.
Once again, clearly, Congress has fallen off the job of protecting the downtrodden while sticking it to the other 95% of us.

Indiana Alex:
And your point about Irishmen is what? Here's a question for you. You know why whiskey was invented? To keep the Irish from ruling the world.
