That was unbelievable. As the show is winding down, Colbert is starting to shed his character. That combined with senile but somehow still entirely with it Cosby makes for some drat magical television.

Ugh, those Democratic ads. Have they ever tried pointing out that Mitch McConnel is more than anyone else responsible for Congress' low approval rating, or the fact that Tea Party is a really unpopular label, or that everything going to hell coincides with electing Republicans four years ago?

I don't know all the history, but that sounds like an owner being a dick. Hell, there was one that refused to have black players (which is part of the reason why the D.C. area has so many Dallas Cowboys fans).

I just saw the Tia Torres interview and it should be noted that Jon loves the breed in no small part because he owns not one but TWO pitbulls. I love them because they never lose their puppy dog eyes and they're just the sweetest things if they're owned by a good person. I'm kinda thinking of getting one when I'm able to own and support owning a dog.

By the way, the most aggressive dog breed? The dachshund. I also love them, but you'd be testy too if your body were a couple of inches off the ground.

I guess if one guy who was 1/16 and another who was 1/8 had a kid?

Who the hell would Bill's hypothetical mercenary force even answer to? The UN couldn't possibly be the ones paying for it given all the deadlock over getting their own military resolutions in gear. If the idea is that it removes responsibility from the US, then there's no reason that they'd be expected to pay for it, especially since, well, mercenaries don't come cheap. Is China expected to foot the bill or something?

What a dumb loving idea...

The kid would be 3/32 then, which is closer to 1/10 than 1/12.

I think that every family that's been in America past x generations has this. Hell, my father told me this once, the "My father told me we have a little cherokee or something" but even he doesn't seem to believe it.

Reasonable people have the sense to realize that it's A) Not the same thing at all and B) probably not true in the first place.

If you think Dan Snyder is as bad as it gets, consider that the original owner:

-Changed the name from the Braves to the Redskins because he perceived its first head coach as Native American.
-Left in his will that none of his money be given to any civil rights groups.
-Headed the team that was the last to racially integrate- in 1961.
-Originally had the "fight for Ol' DC" part of the fight song "fight for Ol' Dixie."

All that being said, Snyder's made it abundantly clear that he's not going to change the name, and I'll take him at his word because he's a pathetic manchild. So either the trademark rejection by the U.S. Patent Office becomes such an albatross that it becomes economically unfeasible enough to force him to change the name, or they'll overturn the ruling by a technicality (which is what happened last time they heard this case over ten years ago) and they'll keep the name for as long as he's alive. Snyder is in his early 50s, and recently two NFL owners died in their 90s, not to mention Jerry Jones and the guy who owns the Panthers are getting up there with no major health problems.

So what I'm saying is this whole debate is a moot point because they will be the Washington Redskins for at least the next 40 years.

And when you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss goes 8-8

In case anybody here is unfamiliar with the exploits of Dan Snyder, here's a list of his offenses as of 2010: http://www.washingtoncitypaper.com/articles/40063/the-cranky-redskins-fans-guide-to-dan-snyder

In addition, he filed suit against this paper claiming that the accompanying picture constituted anti-Semitic defamation. Dan Snyder is an absolute turd of a human being.

e: a choice quote:

quote:

Bankrupt Airline Peanuts: What Snyder was selling to fans at FedExField. During the 2006 season, vendors offered shelled nuts in royal blue and white 5 oz. bags adorned with the Independence Air logo. Problem: The airline had gone under about a year earlier. The supplier told Washington City Paper that it stopped shipping the airline’s nuts “before Independence Air went out of business.” A spokesman for the Peanut Council told City Paper that to prevent rancidity, the recommended shelf life of a foil bag of out-of-shell peanuts was “about three months.”
