Brilliant post its amazing how Political correctness has changed the way we think. This post would have been unusual in the 60s. Sometimes I think PC has changed things way too much for example it tells us we can't say things to offend therefore if I don't agree with something political correctness gags me from saying what I think. It is censorship in a subtle form.

Maybe we can start naming them numerically.
Washington Snowflakes 1, Cincinnati Snowflakes 2 for the next offending team. And so on...

I’ve asked a few of the “ offended minority” if they were offended. None were. But wondered about all those white Dems who are.

Not very Brave of them afterall.

The Washington Redskins finally drop offensive name :

Dan Snyder, owner of the NFL Redskins, has announced that the team is dropping "Washington" from the team name, and it will henceforth be simply known as, "The Redskins." It was reported that he finds the word "Washington" imparts a negative image of poor leadership, mismanagement, corruption, cheating, lying, and graft, and is not a fitting role-model for young fans of football.

Yes...DC is exclusively controlled by Congress. I understand that the residents there don’t like that... but the solution is to amend the constitution to allow DC to become a state. Thing the Dems would like more as that would give then 2 Senate and 1 House seta forever. But then they would have to be treated like every other state and would lose the massive subsidies they get from the federal coffers. DC does not have sufficient tax base or other revenue potential to be viable as a state. Better they petition MD to be annexed as part of MD...that would give them full representation but even that would REQUIRE amending the constitution...and the likelihood of that happening is essentially non existent.
