The Ronald Reagan post
This week a congressman from South Texas proposed renaming 16th street "Ronald Reagan Boulevard." Many have strongly opposed the name change, including a number of Republicans. I, however, think it’s a great idea. Sure, we’ve already named the airport after him and a huge federal building. But the way I see it, the more things we name after Ronald Reagan, the better. Which is why from this point forward Minor Tweaks shall be referred to exclusively as "Ronald Reagan International Blog." In addition, Fiddler will henceforth be known as "Ronald Reagan International Dog." Why stop at streets and buildings or, for that matter, proper nouns? Let’s pick a few everyday items -- salt, for instance -- and name those after Ronald Reagan too. Then, if your potato lacks flavor, you could just say "Please pass the Ronald Reagan." Eventually we should get to the point where people can assume that if they’re not sure what something is called, it’s probably called Ronald Reagan. The whole thing makes me proud to be a Ronald Reagan, where at least I know I'm Ronald Reagan.
