The journey from there to here

I knew it was coming. Political correctness, long having gone off the deep end, is now drowning in its own rules and regulations. Link . In a nod to the sensibilities of Native Americans, the Seattle Times has basically put the kibosh on the use of the word "Redskins" by its authors and columnists, refusing to allow its use in captions or headlines, and allowing reporters to use it once--ONLY as a first reference, in articles about today's Seattle-Washington playoff matchup.

I agree.  Best also to strike the word Seattle from their lexicon as that is the name of an Indian Chief.

And Tacoma as well!  Same thing!

Uh, are they?  I am waiting...........
