On the Redskins kerfluffel

"The United States Patent and Trademark Office has canceled the Washington Redskins trademark registration, calling the football team’s name “disparaging to Native Americans.”

The landmark case, which appeared before the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board, was filed on behalf of five Native Americans. It was the second time such a case was filed." 

Here is my question, under what regulation/statute/law does the U.S. Patent Office have the authority to do what it has done?

And why does this make me think the Obama Administration needed another distraction, on top of their other attempted distractions?

Lois Lerner and the IRS E-mails

Iraq

The VA Scandal

Benghazi

The main IRS Scandal

Bergdahl

The 5 Taliban they gave up

How many more?

And just how desperate is the Obama Administration to change the main headlines?  and what exactly are they trying to force off the front page?

Then don't ask him the question then IDIOT!

"During a panel discussion on Wednesday's NBC Today, attorney Star Jones and the network's chief medical editor Nancy Snyderman hyperventilated over Britain's Prince Harry revealing in interviews that he killed Taliban fighters during combat in Afghanistan. Jones fretted: "Why do you need to antagonize the Taliban?"

It was a member of YOUR profession who asked the Prince a question.  He answered it.

If you don't like the answers you're given then shut up and quit asking questions.  Many people, particularly Soldiers of any stripe are rather blunt.  Ask the a question, they won't take 30 to 40 seconds if not longer to answer.  They will think maybe 2 or 3 seconds then answer your question.  Probably with the first thing that pops in their head.

It reminds me of the story of the Marine Sniper being asked what he felt when he pulled the trigger on an Insurgent.  The Marine's reply?   "Recoil"

US Troops not the Taliban responsible for Green on Blue attacks
