Washington Redskins


There's been lots of bloviating about the political correctness of the name and mascot of the 81-year-old NFL team the Washington Redskins. Despite survey after survey that show the majority of Americans, including native Americans, are just fine with the name, there are those who just can't get over themselves and think their opinions matter the most. And guess where they're from?

Right, if there's anything offensive about the team's name, it's the word Washington.

Gravity



We made a $51 contribution to this weekend's high-grossing movie blockbuster, Gravity. In a word, sublime.

The 3-D Imax screening certainly added to the experience. According to boxofficemojo.com, Gravity grossed nearly $56 million its first weekend, recouping about half its production costs of $105 million.

Shame is bipartisan

But, is the government really shut down?
