How indignant can progressives make themselves?

There's a real competition going on, and it's sweeping the nation,

progressive versus progressive competing to see who can most flamboyantly claim to be offended,

to proclaim that their feelings have been hurt,

or that their sensitivities have been rubbed raw,

or their serenity disturbed, or their composure discombobulated,

by something that someone has said,

or by something they have seen,

such as a Confederate flag, or a building named after Woodrow Wilson.

But actually, I think progressives are not sufficiently imaginative.

There are many more things they could be indignant about,

starting with where I live, Washington, DC.

The Washington Post newspaper is, if it will pardon the expression,

on the warpath against the name of the Washington Redskins football team.

The paper says the name is racist, insulting,

demeaning, insensitive, and so on.

But the Washington Post takes its name from its city,

which is named for George Washington,

who was not only a slave owner, he was a tobacco farmer,

which some progressives probably think is almost as awful.

No way!

Surely the Post should change its name,
