    not so fast, renaming Reagan National

    Hey, think about it. They can never find my luggage when I land there, and by the end of his life, Reagan couldn't find his either.

    Cruel? Not as cruel as Reagan giving funds to the right-wing death squads in El Salvador or helping 3rd world dictators 'disappear' dissidents or letting his wife start a phony war on drugs so she could have a better photo-op than feeding the homeless wearing Oscar de la Renta.

    Reagan a myth? You betcha!
