The Washington Redskins—the team of choice for dumb, angry white men—may be a racist disgrace, but let's not forget that they're also a case study in hilariously incompetent propaganda-mongering.
Vivek Murthy has three Ivy degrees and teaches at Harvard Medical School. He's likely the next surgeon general of the United States. He's an Indian-American. And in this video from his confirmation hearing yesterday, Sen. Pat Roberts (R-Kansas) wants him to know that his people are just wonderful!
The Canadian government conducted unethical nutrition studies on malnourished First Nations children in the 1940s and 50s, research by a food historian at the University of Guelph has revealed.

A judge ruled today that the Moghul Express restaurant in Edison, New Jersey, can be sued by a group of strictly vegetarian Hindus after the restaurant accidentally served them meat-filled samosas. It looks like the 16 afflicted non-meat eaters are going to get a free trip for their troubles.
Last week, Brazilian authorities confirmed the existence of an uncontacted tribe of about 200 in the Western Amazon. They may be the last people on Earth unaware of the whole Charlie Sheen thing. (His existence, that is.)

The Lakota tribes are seceding from the US and maybe taking control of large swaths of Nebraska, South Dakota, North Dakota, Montana and Wyoming, according to "a delegation of Lakota leaders." That delegation includes nutty old Russell Means, who once campaigned for the Libertarian Party's presidential nomination (against RON "COLONEL BLIMP" PAUL) but perhaps is best well known for his role as vagina-expert Wandering Bear on HBO's Curb Your Enthusiasm.
