#1 Like the Egyptian Pharaohs did to their predecessors. Look how it turned out. Anonymity for most of them.

#2 "It was just a discussion. We're not aware of anything specific," MWAA spokeswoman Tara Hamilton later told The Examiner.

.....but the unused Airport Code BHO did come up a few hundred times. Skyline Drive and the Wilson Bridge are also under consideration for renaming as are the city of Leesburg, VA and Nathan Bedford Forrest State Park in Eva, TN.

#6 I read Marion Barry confidante and quit reading. Is this Marion "Cocaine" Barry or some other Marion Barry? The same Marion Barry that was potentate of Washington D.C. a few years ago. They try to remove Ronald Reagan's name from the airport and they are asking for a lot of trouble. Nothing like standing under a tree on top of a hill in an electrical storm.

#8 "National Airport"

Hmmm. Maybe they'll add a word to the full name to bring it more into line with their thinking

National 'Socialist' Airport

Kewl!

#9 Seriously. I don't know if I would want my name to still be on anything around DC these days. As depression hell continues to develop, people will come to hate that place and the dumbest collection of politicians ever seen in DC....
