Tim Russert’s body hasn’t yet reached room temperature, and Hillary Clinton and Chuck Schumer already want to name a highway after him. Not being much of a television watcher, it’s hard to understand what all the hoopla is about. Yeah, I heard the bell toll, and I know that no man is an island, but he’s Tim Russert, a newsman, not Jesus Christ.
My biggest problem with naming a highway after Tim Russert is that it means more visual pollution on Route 20. We have too many signs on all of our roads now.
The question that kids most often ask on trips is “are we there yet?” The second most often asked question is “who is Dwight D. Eisenhower?” Unless, of course, you have just left Binghamton and are traveling up I-88. Then the question is “who is Warren M. Anderson?”
