I have been telling the wife unit we need to find an old cigar store Indian and put it on the porch.
You could put it alongside a wrought iron lawn jockey and probably end up on the national news.

Dan Snyder should change his teams name to Fightin Whiteys Been wondering about all those 301 area code calls I've been getting lately.

New words will be added all the time, of course, but then new words must have an effective date, so we can eradicate all traces of the newly bad word in time to avoid the penalty and the irs audit.
This is right out of "1984" and Winston Smith rewriting history to make it keep up with political desires. Obama and his administration flacks MUST BE IMPEACHED! Do it now!!

:: The United States Patent and Trademark Office has canceled the Washington Redskins trademark registration ::
How far back does this trademark patent go?
Where does The Office find it’s prerogative to summarily rescind the previous actions of a Ptent Board long since deceased?

Hey, isn't communism wonderful? Just what King Obama wanted, hope and change. From freedom to suppression. From a robust economy to a third world population that so far still kept a pot to piss in.
Hey, miss Romney yet. None of this shi! would be happening.
