Tigerlilly is hot. Also, that was as incredibly racist as I remember it.

Yeah, I know, them showing white people as effeminate, British speaking, flying fairies in tights.

I dunno. I haven't met a non effeminate, fairy-like British person. Have you?

The Washington Redskins are back in the spotlight again. This past June, the US Patent and Trademark office canceled six trademarks belonging to the NFL team, claiming the name and mascot were "disparaging to Native Americans." Now, the ACLU has appealed the decision on the grounds that the cancellation violates the First Amendment.

This is why conservatives don't like the ACLU. I have repeatedly pointed out the conservative case against the team's name. Right on cue, here come the liberals to rescue evil.

That's actually highly amusing.

WASHINGTON — The Washington Redskins long defense of their controversial nickname may soon face its toughest challenge. It’s not the American Indian marketing campaign, the U.S. Trademark ruling or courts that could force change, though.

It’s the Associated Press stylebook.

The AP stylebook review committee is considering whether Redskins is an offensive term and should be removed from its stories. This is not another far-flung paper, liberal magazine, individual TV announcer or other media outlets that frankly don’t matter.

This is the kingpin of American journalism that resonates throughout every newspaper, website and broadcast. This is one of the world’s leading news outlets that reach nearly every country. Maybe AP doesn’t have the power it once wielded before the internet, but there’s still enough to ripple the waters.

It's only a matter of time.

I hope they win the Super Bowl every year from now on.
