It makes me furious that the Las Vegas airport, which was named after the Cold War hero Sen. Pat McCarran (D-Nev.) was renamed for our friend Harry Reid.

I guess I shouldn’t be surprised, but I was amazed to see slot machines in each departure gate at the airport.

Wasn’t McCarran the inspiration for Senator Geary in “Godfather II”?

I flat-out refuse to call it Harry Reid. I always call it McCarran, and everyone knows what I’m talking about.

Augh, that’s disgusting! I didn’t know. I haven’t been to Vegas in a long time.
