Happy Harry, what a pleasant person you are, what with your disdain for “fat people”, “overstuffed bags”, “screaming kids” and “battleaxe stewardness” (sic). Better said, you apparently disdain “everything in general.” Man, I’d really like to be on a flight with you. I’m certain it would be memorable.

Yes, the people here call it National. But, the Republican congress under Gingrich forced the name “Reagan Airport” down everyone’s throat and threatened to cut off Metro funding and highway budget if they didn’t spend money on changing Metro and road signs.

I, too, still call it National and am choosing to be continually annoyed about the name change. It has nothing to do with the Reagan part of the name; I would have felt the same no matter what it was changed to.

Chinatown buses are more comfortable than flying. Flying sucks, except for the part about getting someplace else quickly. It makes one week vacations possible. Unless you have a First Class ticket to avoid lines and sitting with your knees in your chest next to fat people everywhere with their overstuffed bags and screaming kids and battleaxe stewardness who are the last persons in the world you want to see as your world ends in a nosedive to earth at 500mph.

Also, since people continue to fly in and out of Terminal A, I can’t see what the “modern air travel” remark is about. What’s modern about Term B and C that Term A doesn’t have? They’re bigger, yes. But I don’t really see any other difference. Maybe the airlines do.
