6. Sombody's been driving in Arlington...
Yes, the GW Parkway runs from Washington Reagan Airport to the beltway and everything I take it I laugh at it myself...

17. Actually, this particular sign is on 123 (Chain Bridge Rd) heading West
away from GW Pkwy, but there are several others in the immediate area.

By the way, to me it's still "Washington National Airport," or just "National;" can't bring myself to insert the asshole's name into it. He is the dude who fucked up our airports by firing all the controllers. If they want to name something after him, how about the national debt? Much more appropriate.

34. Yes I call it National too, but most of the folks here wouldn't
recognize it if I did just that.

There are far too many things named after Reagan in the area anyways...

47. God, I hope not.
I lived in Arlington until 2 years ago, and up until then, nobody called it "National".

And like other posters here, I will never ever call it "Reagan National".

40. Me too! Of course, I still say People's instead of CVS, and the
Cap Center (well, it's torn down now, so no biggie) and of course I'll keep calling it the MCI center. But I will NEVER call that airport anything other than washington national. Harrumph!

21. You have the airport's name wrong!
It's "officially" Reagan National Airport, but just about everybody who lives near it and uses it just calls it by it's old name. National.

About the only ones who don't are the Metro train motormen.

Tell anyone in DC, like a cabbie, "I want to go to Reagan, I have to catch a flight", and you're pegged as either a tourist or a terminal Republican!

:rofl:

Signed, one-time Arlington resident!

31. Slight Correction
The "official" name of the airport is Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport.

The reason Metro drivers call it that is that the "official" name of the Metro stop at the airport is RRWNA.

Congress FORCED Metro to make that change.

15. LOL they're all good.

I used to sometimes walk by a small dry cleaning outfit in a mall and they had a sign in their window,"Drop your pants here for quick service." It always gave me a smile as I am sure it did others as well.

18. The CIA building will be renamed.
Along with everything named after Reagan. Republicans would have you believe that Reagan and the Bushs are kin to your Washingtons when they are actually Polks and Buchanans. When history judges the Republicans of the last quarter of the 20th century. History will judge them as crooked assholes.

22. Oh I don't know, maybe because he had the job
for only 14 months ? And he wasn't very good at it ?

He served as Gerald Ford’s Director of Central Intelligence (DCI) from November 1975 to January 1977. As head the CIA, Bush was answerable only to President Ford. He was supposedly the first CIA “outsider” to hold the agency's top position. During his tenure as DCI he maintained a policy of disinformation and secrecy, despite a public show of cooperation with congressional investigations of CIA abuses such as assassination plots using Mafia hit men. In September 1976, Chilean dissident leader Orlando Letelier was assassinated in Washington D.C. by agents of DINA, Chile’s secret police. The CIA knew of such plots, and the two assassins entered the U.S. using fake Paraguayan passports. But the FBI was kept in the dark about this information.

tho we all knew it was the CIA. You'd see those 'spook' buses (unmarked school buses) trucking the spies all over. Too funny!

26. It's hilarious, but I'm not sure you know why
The CIA's Headquarters Building is named after George Herbert Walker Bush, the first Director of Central Intelligence to be fired from that position for incompetence.

Bearing this in mind, let's hijack this thread: Everyone come up with a few federal buildings we can name after members of the Bush 43 administration--and not just prisons and sewage-testing laboratories, m'kay?

38. Actually, I was thinking more along the lines of...
The Donald Rumsfeld Center for Peaceful Progress (a nuclear weapons storage bunker)

The John Ashcroft Room at the US Capitol (one of the chaplains' offices)

The George W. Bush Center for Life Enrichment (the death chamber at the Terre Haute federal pen)

The Bill Frist Memorial Cat Shrine (the euthanasia room at the Fort Bragg dog pound)

The Laura Bush Fashion Center (the room in the back of the White House where they throw the upholstery scraps)

The Ari Fleischer Truth Monument (the Fort Polk sewage lagoon)

The Spencer Abraham Renewable Energy Gates (these are at the entrance to the Abrams Tank park at Fort Hood)

Okay, now go back and try it again. It's easy and fun!

42. We were on a Continental flight
from Tampa to Houston just after they named airport for 4l. The pilot started to say we'd be landing in a few minutes at the "George H W Bush Intercontinental Airport" but cracked up halfway through. (Uh...cracked up laughing, not cracked up the plane).

Heck, if they're in a hurry to get things named after 'em, maybe... never mind.
