Edited on Wed Aug-27-03 02:31 AM by pstokely
how many schools have been named after Clinton?
would they have named the school Gore Elementary if the election wasn't stolen?


have any been named after Reagan, Bush Sr, or Nixon?

1. Irony
Naming a school after * is like naming a church after me.

2. Think of it this way...
in the old days, buildings were named after J Edgar Hoover. It's kind of the same thing - they'll just live to regret it, that's all.

5. Because Stockton is losertown?
I've been there, several times (first city you hit driving north on I-5 after leaving LA)... it's a decaying hell hole way past its "prime", everybody I met there wanted to leave. Maybe naming a school after him was a stab at Republican approval, maybe they'd send the poor folks some extra money? I dunno.
