The NFL on the Mall
I think this sucks. Is anything sacred anymore? Are we
slapping logos on anything that means anything in this
country, just to pay for it? Whoever in the National
Parks Dept agreed to this should lose their job tomorrow.

PS: Bush Inc. sucks bigtime.

1. More of the same.
Professional sports has been reaming the public for years through taxpayer financing of various arenas and stadiums. Co-opting a public park for the NFL's private use is just more of the same.

3. Anyone remember Amerithon?
Comedy from the 70s. All Americas assets were auctioned off when a boozing idiot assumed the White House and drove the country into deep debt from our dependence on foreign oil.

OMG!

4. nope, but sounds prescient.
Maybe someday we'll all have tatoos of a company
on our butts to pay for our lives...
