Oh c’mon, VDOT. You misspelled Reagan National Airport? I mean, I know we all call it National anyway, because it’s still a little soon to have it renamed after a guy that half the country seems to not have liked at all in retrospect, but misspelling his name? Not cool.
Their solution? Paste a correction over the top. Laaaaaame.
I live and work in the District of Columbia. I write at We Love DC, a blog I helped start, I work at Technolutionary, a company I helped start, and I’m happy doing both. I enjoy watching baseball, cooking, and gardening. I grow a mean pepper, keep a clean scorebook, and wash the dishes when I’m done. Read Why I Love DC.

Gallup has a few points on this: http://www.gallup.com/poll/11887/ronald-reagan-from-peoples-perspective-gallup-poll-review.aspx
It’s funny, growing up with Reagan as President, I loved the guy. He was grandfatherly and warm, and he seemed like a cool guy. In retrospect, I still think he was the best President of my lifetime. He wasn’t a philanderer, he wasn’t an asshole, and he didn’t throw up on anybody, and he ended the Cold War. That last one’s clearly the most important, but what does it say about us as a nation that the other ones came to my mind first?
