Which Bush? Do they memorialize them interchangeably? Just think of the
cost savings when Jeb runs! :-)
As for BWI, did you know BWI used to be called "Friendship International
Airport" because a MD politician liked the sound of it? Sort of a
"You are my Sunshine" type of thing. I like it. Too bad more airports
are named for localities instead of emotions...
The only problem with BWI is its inconveniently located for non-Baltimoreans. |
