A fitting tribute
So, we can expect to see lots of businessmen and residents complaining about the burden of having to change their letterhead and business cards, right?
Ronald Reagan Road, Street or Boulevard could be coming to Tampa.City Councilwoman Rose Ferlita on Thursday called for the city to rename a street in honor of the former president who died Saturday.
Ferlita said she hasn't picked a street yet, but it must be one significant enough that it ``warrants the type of respect'' the city wants to give one of the country's most popular presidents.
How ‘bout we rename the sewer system instead? I mean, Ron’s legacy has been pumped so full of shit this past week by his ardent supporters that it would be totally appropriate. And then no one would have to change their business cards.

I'm sure that those same people will bitch and moan again time, because their prior complaints had nothing to do with race and everything to do with the inconvenience and added expenses involved. Riiiiiiiiight.
