Renaming everything after Reagan.
Talking Points, in a much longer piece looking at Abramoff ties to Alaska's rep. Young, linked to this little gem. In an effort to sway Republicans on a trip to the Marshall Islands, their legislature voted to rename the nuclear test site atoll, the Reagan Test Site.
I take issue with alot of the Reagan tributes and renamings, but naming a nuclear test site after Reagan, solely to impress visiting US congressmen is just perfect, I think.

Agreed. A fitting tribute.

Beautiful isn't it? A once thriving ecological atoll which has been ravaged by a series of nuclear detonations that is made available only due to the ravaging poverty of the local residents. I couldn't think of a better tribute.

Wow, Almost as fitting as naming an airport after the man who fired all the traffic controllers.

Hah! I'd never thought of that irony.
