  1. The 'Warp speculates on a Windbag replacement. Malone, Faulkner, Lippert but the best is Edith Thrower, who Smitherman ousted as NAACP president in a contested election when he marched in with a bunch of his minions & seized power. I'm sure Thrower & her admin did a lot of the work to get the Nat'l NAACP convention here during a presidential election season but it was Smitty mugging for the cameras. http://www.cincinnati.com/story/opinion/2014/06/20/who-could-replace-winburn-on-council/11045817/

  5. no Would this be ok? Would Kid Wallinski be ok or would it have to Kid Joe? The mascot is looked upon fondly and I doubt anybody is dumb enough to think that this is a typical indian. F Troop must have really scarred some people...
  6. Anybody want to explain what is racist about Chief Wahoo?
  7. The New York Maccabees might make more sense... I really don't see a problem with Chief Wahoo. It's not like they are portraying him in a bad way. Maybe he could be replaced with some area indian fetish like some kinda bird.
  8. The fact Pat had never seen it was ok, the fact that people told Pat the sign wasn't real is the killer part.

    CO has won the right to challenge a law preventing lying. Issue: (1) Whether, to challenge a speech-suppressive law, a party whose speech is arguably proscribed must prove that authorities would certainly and successfully prosecute him, as the Sixth Circuit holds, or should the court presume that a credible threat of prosecution exists absent desuetude or a firm commitment by prosecutors not to enforce the law, as seven other Circuits hold; and (2) whether the Sixth Circuit erred by holding, in direct conflict with the Eighth Circuit, that state laws proscribing “false” political speech are not subject to pre-enforcement First Amendment review so long as the speaker maintains that its speech is true, even if others who enforce the law manifestly disagree. http://www.cincinnati.com/story/news/politics/2014/06/16/supreme-court-says-groups-can-challenge-ohio-false-claims-ban/10575179/
