37. Meanwhile, in other news, RWers and teabaggers are decrying the hearings on the use of this term as

"destraction".

Go figure.

"This is What Congress Does Instead of Fixing the Budget Problem "

A congressional oversight hearing originally scheduled to discuss, among other things, how indigenous-themed sports mascots have negatively influenced the perception of Native Americans, will now also address the linking of the name Geronimo to Osama bin Laden.
(snip)
The Senate Indian Affairs committee, chaired by Sen. Daniel Akaka (D-HI), will host the hearing titled "Stolen Identities: The Impact of Racist Stereotypes on Indigenous People," which will be webcast live at 2:15 p.m. ET.

Don't want to miss that.

Just a thought - the White House said they would release photos of bin Laden and then they reneged. Does that make them Indian givers? Is "renege" racist? I need some help from Congress.

THAT's being in "good company" :(
