Sunday's Quote: Limbaugh and the NFL (redux)

So Rush Limbaugh isn't good enough for ownership of the St. Louis Rams, but apparently Shahid Khan (a Muslim named for Islamic martyrdom) is just fine.

In the interest of full disclosure, Khan and his wife are currently under investigation by the IRS for illegal tax shelters reportedly worth $250 million.  They are also being sued for negligence and professional malpractice for their purported dealings in "distressed debt," a questionable strategy that uses weak foreign currency to lower taxes.  The Khan's next court date is scheduled for Tuesday.

"Hypocrisy: prejudice with a halo."
-- Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914?), journalist, short story writer, and satirist whose disappearance in Mexico remains a mystery to this day
