There was a time a government building, ship, monument, whatever couldn't be named after a politician, hero, whatever until said person was DEAD. Now, we have the Stevens airport (PANC, named whis Ted was among the living), the USS Jimmy Carter, the USS George HW Bush, why not the USS Giffords. I think we should go back to them being actually dead.

Oh, I forgot, thus all started when the Republican Congress named KDCA, Reagan National Airport. Patience, politicians, please
