The Washington Post

[thargol]

Today I learned that The Washington Post is so called because it's published in Washington, not Washington. In hindsight, it was obvious. But that's not the association my brain first made when I heard about the paper, and I guess it stuck. FWIW, I made exactly the same incorrect association when it came to the Washington Redskins.

I, also, did this with the Redskins... and I've always been on the East Coast.
