Idea for a #NewRedskinsName? Better clear it with these guys first [pic]

Now that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has ruled the “Redskins” name to be “disparaging to Native Americans,” D.C.’s NFL team may be in the market for a new name. The ‘skins might want to consider crowdsourcing some of these ideas:

All good suggestions. But just to be safe, the team-soon-to-be-formerly-known-as-the-Washington-Redskins should probably check with the bosses first:

Dems ‘forgot one small detail’ while remembering the Little Rock Nine

http://twitter.com/#!/JohnBermont/status/515274536321683456

TheDemocrats tweeted an Obama quote to commemorate the “Little Rock Nine”—nine black students who enrolled in a public high school in defiance of then Governor Orval Faubus. They forgot to mention one little detail though.

.@TheDemocrats and Obama forgot one small detail here. It was a DEMOCRAT Governor these brave kids defied. https://t.co/fKfv00MxjN

— Kathleen McKinley (@KatMcKinley) September 25, 2014

@KatMcKinley Exactly!

— Andrew Christiansen (@ar_christiansen) September 25, 2014

And the selfie. RT@KatMcKinley @TheDemocrats and Obama forgot one small detail here. It was a DEMOCRAT Governor these brave kids defied.

— Meerrettich (@dustopian) September 25, 2014

Yeah, it’s surprising there isn’t a staged picture of Obama at the high school in Little Rock. There must not be any good golf courses in Arkansas.

Have @TheDemocrats become The Audacity of Dopes? Arkansas Governor Orval Faubus, center of the Little Rock Nine controversy was a DEMOCRAT.

— Soquel by the Creek (@SoquelCreek) September 25, 2014

Glad @TheDemocrats are finally coming around to the Republican position since it was a Republican who ensured it against the threats of Dems

— Bread N. Circus (@BreadNCircusUSA) September 25, 2014

@TheDemocrats: Okay, cool. Did y'all forget it was @TheDemocrats that were trying to block the #LittleRockNine from getting that education?

— Jeff Yeah! (@JeffOutLoud) September 25, 2014

#LOL @TheDemocrats Indeed DEM. Gov. Orval Faubus ordered Arkansas National Guard to prevent African American students from enrolling.

— Tom T. (@VRWCTexan) September 25, 2014

@TheDemocrats @KennettDems Amazing how some folks try to "pretend" that Party roles haven't COMPLETELY reversed. DEMS once behaved like #GOP

— Deuce (@NUPEsupreme) September 25, 2014

Hmmm…we must have missed the stories about Republicans using the armed forces to segregate schools.

Video: ‘Anger Management’ brings Charlie Sheen back from the dead #Winning

http://twitter.com/#!/StressManageDST/status/190155330800463872

From Zap2It:

Charlie Sheen is seemingly always looking for ways to stick it to his former show “Two and a Half Men.” The latest example of this is in a teaser spot for his new FX comedy “Anger Management.”

In the 15-second video, Sheen is seen in an open casket – an obvious reference to him being killed off on “Men.” The narrator then says, “Charlie Sheen died…and went to FX.”

The series, which debuts on June 28, stars Sheen as a former baseball player turned therapist. It also features Selma Blair, Shawnee Smith, Daniela Bobadilla, Michael Arden and Noureen DeWulf.
