58. "I may put a restriction on them that if they don't change the name back to the original 'Washington Redskins,'"

Oh, you want the original name?

The team was known as the 'Boston Braves'.

I mean, since you are demanding that we go back to the 'original' name.

I suppose you want them returned to Boston as well?

I prefer that the team answer in the same way that the Spartans answered Phillip II of Macedon. He sent a message to Sparta asking that, after he has conquered the other states, if he should arrive as a friend or a foe. The Spartans answered, "Neither." Phillip got so mad that he sent the following statement, "If I invade Laconia, I shall turn you out." Sparta's reply?

"If."

Challenge that orange gibbon at every turn, folks. That is how we return the US to some semblance of sanity. (Which is assuming a lot, I know...)
