Give it a friggin' rest, will ya...?

A Republican congressman from South Texas has proposed renaming 16th Street NW as Ronald Reagan Boulevard.

[...]

Mayor Anthony A. Williams (D) objected, saying that renaming the historic north-south route that leads to the White House would mar the elegant street plan laid out by French engineer Pierre L'Enfant in 1791 -- and cost the city $1 million to alter maps and signs.

"It's been a long time since I've heard of a plan that made so little sense," Williams said.

[...]

Rep. Thomas M. Davis III (R-Va.), chairman of the House Government Reform Committee with jurisdiction over Bonilla's legislation, called it "ridiculous" and said he would put it in the "appropriate file..."

ah, good... some intelligent bipartisan opposition... why doesn't the honorable congressman from texas propose putting ronnie on the fast track to sainthood along with john paul...? why these silly half-measures...? better yet, why doesn't he spend some time working on REAL ISSUES...?
