Callin' it like it is

I was talking with my friend Al last night, and he has figured out a compromise that could settle the Washington Redskins controversy to just about everyone's liking, while at the same time giving the team a name that more accurately reflects the area which it calls home.

"They should change the name to the Washington Politicians," he said. "Their emblem could be a guy in a suit, bent over with dollar bills pouring out of his butt — or maybe he could be on on his knees, mouth open wide. Either one would work."

Yes, definitely.

And John Edwards could be their mascot.
