When is Ohio going to get rid of that old racist name Columbus?
McKinley led the nation to victory in the Spanish–American War...might that be the reason for the change?
I am quite bored with calling our planet, Earth...it sounds dirty to me.
Hope ours has a lower body count that China's.
.... And this just in to our WINO Radio Newsroom,
Native American and Eskimo voters in Fairbanks, Alaska have just voted to change the name of the State of Ohio to “Rehnota.”
300 years ago the Kickapoo and Seneca Native American Tribes both lived in what is now Ohio, and the word “Rehnota” has the same meaning in both their tribal languages.
It means “Stupid.”
And, don’t forget, the very Liberal city of Madison, Wisconsin was named after a slave owner. Maybe the Libs should change that city to Caitlyn.
Interesting responses here. Normally conservatives are generally anti-politician. I can see naming a man made object (airport, etc.) after a politician... but a mountain? Did McKinley discover it? Was he the first to climb it? No. The only reason it was called McKinley is because a gold prospector who found it was a fan of McKinleys. And you can bet if it was “Mt. Wilson”, or “Mt. Roosevelt”, conservatives would be leading the name-changing charge.
I think Denali is a much cooler name anyway.
for all practical purposes, the name is already changed
