#4 The Most Surprising fact of All is That Obama Did Not Try to Rename Mt. McKinley after Himself!

Denali is an Athabascan word meaning “the high one” or “great one.”

The Athabascan language was also spoken by the Apache per some Athabascan historians. "The One" has a tendency to love savages and savagery and not civilization.

#6 Another day, another tweak from the most incompetent pos ever to occupy the Oval or any other Office.

The heirs of Jimmy Carter owe this a$$clown a serious debt of gratitude.

#7 My late sister was involved in conservation activities in Montana. She was killed in a car accident coming home from Montana in 1969. We sent an application to the Board of Geographic Names with a description of why a mountain in the area where she worked should be named after her. After a time, it was accepted and the mountain is named after her.

Changing the name of a geographic landmark is not appropriate for executive orders. It should be done through a process that has been established for many years. In the former Soviet Union, they changed names of places depending upon the political whims of those in power at the time.

This is just another action done by the emperor with no clothes, with no respect for institutions, or the reasons that we have a process that will decide for generations how something is named. It is not decided on merit or the rational discussion of the facts in the case.

How low we have fallen.

#8 I have a compost heap with poison ivy groving out of it, so I had to spray with herbicide that rendered the compost completely useless.

I've named the heap Mt. Obama.

#9 Nah, if he named it Mount Obama it would have to be located below Reggi's Park.

The political whims mean, in this case, renaming stuff that _was_ named in honor of a Unionist soldier who fought to abolish slavery.

Bleah.

#14 And this will get Putinist Russia to cease-n-desist its official claims to most of the Arctic - HOW???

As per FREEREPUBLIC this Guam Wednesday AM.

* FYI NYT > OBAMA TO CALL FOR MORE [+ New USCG] ICEBREAKERS IN ARCTIC AS US SEEKS FOOTHOLD.

Darth Vladvedev sends the Russian Army-Navy to the Arctic, the Bammer = USA sends in the hunaitarian USCG.

* MANILA TIMES, TOPIX > CANADA OFFICIALLY FALLS INTO RECESSION.

So-o-o IIUC, NOT UNLIKE IN THE ORIGINAL "RED DAWN" ANDOR ITS REMAKE "RED DAWN II", CANADA CAN'T STOP EITHER THE SOVIETS-CUBANS NOR NOKORS [China PLA?] FROM INVADING CONUS-NORAM INCLUD CANADA???

Whats there to stop the ISIS/ISIL/Daesh from officially claiming the Arctic for Islam, Radical Islam, or the Caliphate???

We already know from CHINA DAILY FORUM that China wants to set up a mainly Muslim Navy Patrol [Iran, Pakistan, Turkey, Kazakh] in the SCS to offset the presence of India, Japan, + Russia Navies in coordination wid the US = USN.
