I rarely have an occasion to blog about non-politics here recently, but then, thanks to the Omaha World Herald, that changed today.

This is the column from Robert Nelson, of the Omaha World Herald. The UFL has put a franchise here in Omaha called the Nighthawks. Now, Mr. Nelson wonders the meaning of the name.

Mr. Nelson proves just how much of an idiot he is with this post. Anyone in the area knows Bellevue, just south of Omaha, is the home of Offutt Air Force Base, and also of the United States Space Command. Anyone who is familiar with the Air Force knows the stealth fighter used by them is called the Nighthawk.

Thus, the team's name is the Omaha Nighthawks.

DUH!

The logo of the Nighthawks is the stealth fighter flying through the 'O' for Omaha. It's a great logo. Also, considering who we have on the team (Jeff Garcia as quarterback, Robert Ferguson as a receiver, Ahman Green as running back, and Maurice Clarett as either running back or wide receiver as he tries to resurrect his career), it points to an explosive offense.

Mr. Nelson, however, is completely ignorant of the fact, or else is trying to be witty and failing at it miserably. It just shows the quality of the only full newspaper in Omaha has degenerated along with the rest of the mainstream media over the years.
