We don’t know what to do with Iraq, but we sure can get someone for saying “redskin”! I assume all old westerns will soon be banned from cable because they are evil?

Is not the net effect that any number of Redskins teams may now be established?

Just change their mascot from the Native American Chief, to a Potato...that way they can still be the “Redskins.”

I think I’ll whip up a batch of Redskins helmets and take them to the Navajo nation to sell tee-pee to tee-pee.
