The worshippers don't know when to quit.
"Right now we can tell you a report was filed by the family of a 12 year old boy yesterday afternoon alleging Mr. Michael Jackson of criminal activity. A search warrant has been filed and that search is currently taking place. Mr. Jackson has not been charged with any crime. We cannot specifically address the content of the police report as it is confidential information at the present time, however, we can confirm that Mr. Jackson forced the boy to listen to the Howard Stern show and watch the movie Private Parts over and over again."

I think a case could be made for it, but frankly it's been the Pentagon for 50 years or so, it doesn't need to be changed now.

That's stupid (but what would we expect from Frist?). I seriously doubt it'll pass, and even if it does, everyone will still call it the Pentagon anyway.

Fucking hell! You'd think the guy actually singlehandedly thought the Soviet army to win and then rebuilt all of America. He may have had fans and two terms, but he wasn't as good as some of these guys make him out to be.

The renaming of the Pentagon, arguably one of the coolest buildings today, is stupid.

It's the freakin' Pentagon. It sends a chill down your spine, especially when spoken right. Boo-urns to that.

It reminds me of that line from the Simpsons:

"All Millard Filmore high schools are now Ronald Reagans, the George Washington Bridge is the Ronald Reagan Bridge, and the Mississippi River is now known as the Mississippi Reagan!"

I say keep it at the Pentagon.

At least the poll on that site is overwhelmingly in support of calling this idea stupid.

Wait until the Reagan Defense Building deploys Reagan Missiles, Reagan tanks, Reagan-class nuclear subs, and the crowning achievement, the Robo-Reagan Mechabot.

At least that makes sense, since we'll have something to counter the Kim-bot from North Korea. :lol:


And we already have the USS Ronald Reagan.

I hear the 14th street bridge will be renamed the "Ronald Reagan Washington Virginia Bridge"

3rd street tunnel will be renamed the "Ronald Reagan downtown tunnel"

DC airport is The Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport. I perfer "National Airport"


Lets not stop there

how bout the Ronald Reagan Memorial Stadium

or the Ronald Reagan.... Im getting carried away.


i seem to be the only one who is getting the feeling of "Reagan overload" I am not downplaying his role in history by a small site, but this preperation, this coverage this everything is becoming too much.

Given that it is a protected historical building, I wonder if it's even legal to rename the Pentagon? Anyway its a retarded idea no matter what; the only renaming we should be doing is changing The Department of Defence back to the War Department.
