One state lawmaker has proposed changing the name of Boston's Logan International Airport to Logan-Kennedy International Airport in honor of the late senator, who died at age 77 of a brain tumor.

Administrators at a Boston charter high school want to change the name of their facility to the Edward M. Kennedy Academy for Health Careers.

Re-naming things is just dumb, no matter what the “reason.” People know things by their names, they identify - that’s what the names are for. Don’t rename airports, that just confuses people, for no reason. You wanna name something after Kennedy? Why not Poucha Pond?

I fly into Boston for business often. If they rename it after that idiot, I’ll reroute and come from up north. I WILL NOT LAND IN AN AIRPORT NAMED AFTER A FELON.

“Edward M. Kennedy Academy for Health Careers”

For “Senator Abortion”?

“Health Careers”?

The mind boggles...

Great Idea !
Logan Airport is the absolute worst airport on the globe......and I’ve landed at Entebbe.... you can have 45 minutes to change planes and still miss your flight.

Name a bridge after him......with triple guard rails.....or a car....that floats.

Can you imagine how many bags will get sent to JFK in NYC instead of “Logan - Kennedy” and vice versa?

I figure you could have a sign next to each car labeled with one of the many terrible things this murdering commie lib did to this country.

I don’t think that Teddy was into memorials - but I am sure he wouldn’t mind if they re-named the local Hooter’s in Boston after him ...

They could even have “Teddy’s Left Wing Wednesdays” there ... all the buffalo wings you can eat - but ya gotta leave your wallet when ya leave ...
