6. Everytime I hear "Reagan" National Airport I get a little pissed.

Why the fuck is anything named after that asshole?

He did not invent the propeller or circumnavigate Antarctica.

He did fuck the air traffic controllers through the wall though.

He was a two faced lapdog that got two of my friends splattered in Granada.

He deserves no positive mention in history.

But the GOP has managed to get his name stuck on a whole bunch of shit he had nothing to do with.

Like:

The USS Ronald Reagan (CVN-76) - Nimitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier

The Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center

The Ronald Reagan Highway

The Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center

Ronald Reagan Boulevard in Georgetown, Texas.

The Ronald Reagan Leadership Medal

And multiple high schools in various states, including Texas, California, and Wisconsin. All when he was the asshole that gutted public schools.

The snake was probably just trying to hop the train to get the fuck out of there.
