In a state where practically every public building is named after Robert C. Byrd (and those that aren't, are named after the other current Democrat congressional representatives), this is a nice bit of news, and a classy move. I hope other states' GOP leaders follow suit.

Poll still available for freeping: Do you think Ronald Reagan was the greatest president of the 20th century?

What a grand idea! Considering Byrd's ego and the places named after Robert C. Byrd, courtesy of his flamboyancy, listed below are the sites throughout WV carrying the KKK member's name:

The Robert C. Byrd Highway; the Robert C. Byrd Locks and Dam; the Robert C. Byrd Institute; the Robert C. Byrd Life Long Learning Center; the Robert C. Byrd Honors Scholarship Program; the Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope; the Robert C. Byrd Institute for Advanced Flexible Manufacturing; the Robert C. Byrd Federal Courthouse; the Robert C. Byrd Health Sciences Center; the Robert C. Byrd Academic and Technology Center; the Robert C. Byrd United Technical Center; the Robert C. Byrd Federal Building; the Robert C. Byrd Drive; the Robert C. Byrd Hilltop Office Complex; the Robert C. Byrd Library; the Robert C. Byrd Learning Resource Center; the Robert C. Byrd Rural Health Center; Robert C. Byrd High School; and the Robert C. Byrd Intermodal Transportation Center (a parking garage).

This is great! I shall have to pay a visit to that building. Tickles me that something is named after Reagan instead of Ole Byrd.
