Bill would name oceans for Reagan

My goodness, they really are nuts!

When I first saw this story, I thought it had to be satire. But the story is as real as the sky and sun. Far-right Rep. Darrell Issa (R-California) now has a bill that would name the oceans after Ronald Reagan. This legislation would rename all oceans and seas within 200 nautical miles of the American coastline to the Ronald Wilson Reagan Exclusive Economic Zone.

No, I'm not making this up.

If the bill passes, government-printed maps would be required to label oceans with ol' Ronnie's name.

This bill ranks right up there in its stupidity with congressional efforts to add Reagan's likeness to Mount Rushmore and other national landmarks.

How about Congress do something constructive instead of this shit? Where's the jobs bills they promised? Don't they realize this bill might delay their 37th symbolic vote to whine about Obamacare?
