Well, a lot of us would like to change it back to Pig's Eye, in honor of Pierre "Pig's Eye" Parrant, the French-Canadian trader who was probably the first non-Indian to live in the area, but for now we'll have to be satisfied with Pig's Eye Beer.

There are always a few people who would like to return San Francisco to its older name Yerba Buena (=good herb). This was especially true in the (puff, puff) 1960s.

I think Detroit should go back to Fort Pontchartrain du Detroit ("day-TWAH").

MSP? Is that supposed to be a 3 letter abbreviation for "The Twin Cities"? I grew up in Minnesota, but MSP just sounds to me like something you shouldn't use on the salad bar.

MSP is the airport code. Like LAX. I live here, and it doesn't sound odd to me at all. Of course, this is still Minnesota, so it doesn't sound near as sexy as LAX. But at least we're nerdy enough to be able to admit to the code making us feel cutting edge.

We've decided we'll have to clean house for the convention, so we can board protestors, while we run for the border.

Good old Paulson. Get everything backwards. Even his name.
