9. . . .what else. . .
. . .but the "Beltway Bandits". They'll take tax funds that could have gone for education and health care, pave over an area with green growing things. . .and build a taxpayer-funded stadium, for a bunch of billionaires. . .and likely give them a tax break on income from the team. . .

"Bandits" is the ONLY appropriate name. . .

3. I don't really care
as long as it's not the Expos. A stupid name for a baseball team, that. How about the Eagles - The Washington Eagles, after the national bird.

5. Lets name it after our new national tree
Lets name it the Oaks

Apparently the Congress just named the Oak our new national tree!


P.S. I totally kidding about naming it that!

12. The DC Reagens
As I said the other day, there are still some things that haven't been named for our glorious leader. As an alternate I pick the "Ronnies" or "Ron-nets". I will bet anyone here that the stadium will be named after him.
