This from dawkins:

Reagan's face proposed to replace FDR's on dimes

House Republicans are introducing a bill (the "Ronald Reagan Dime Act") that would replace FDR on the dime with Ronald Reagan. But Democrat James McGovern of Massachusetts -- who's been seditiously drumming up support for an opposing bill that keeps Roosevelt on the ten cent piece -- points out that Reagan has "already been honored in many ways - he's got an airport named after him, and a building, and there are schools and roads and bridges and other things.''

Nice try, McGovern. But I'm siding with Rep. Wally Herger, R-Calif.: "I feel more connection with Reagan. He's a Californian, also closer to us now in history.''

Yep: "Closer to us now in history."

To that end, I think it's time to start getting rid of these other deadbeats taking up space on our loose change. Jefferson. What's he done lately? Lincoln. Washington? Any reason the nation's capital is still stuck with his name? I mean, how many tax cuts did Washington push? How many Communist regimes did he single-handedly bring down?

This Republican fervor for naming everything Reagan is never going to stop, and in fact is only going to heat up once the good man finally meets the Creator.

So I'm suggesting Democrats head them off at the pass with a simple swap that will stave off any more "Ronald Reagan Dime Acts."

Change "Washington, D.C." to "Reagan, D.C."

That way, Reagan National Airport could revert back to its original name, National Airport, yet still be known as Reagan National. And we wouldn't have to bother with any more piddling building names or currency effigies.

And if the Republicans still want Reagan on the dime, let 'em have it. Us blue staters will keep FDR on ours. (We've had separate currencies before, you know.)
