Speaking of which, wasn't Denali already an alt title for that mountain anyway?

I lived in Alaska from 2011-2013, I always heard residents call it Denali. The state changed the mountains name to Denali, but that was only for the state books it was still federally recognized as McKinley.
As for the racists who hate the idea of us giving something back to the native peoples. It isn't just the natives who wanted this change. I never heard an Alaskan call it McKinley regardless of their race. Even Palin calls it Denali.
Alaska has tried for 40 years to get this change, but Ohioan legislators always smack it down. Presently its 16 Ohio congressmen to 1 from Alaska. This is the only way this change would have happened. Alaska made a firm impression in my heart, I'm very happy about this and proud to have been an Alaskan.

Ohio didn't smack it down.

Ohio kept it from getting a vote using an idiotic procedural rule.

What was that rule?

Oh wait, not a vote.

It's something like the governmental department with the power to change the name cannot change the name if some part of congress has taken up the issue.

So ohio has 'taken up the issue' every year for the past 40 years to block any change.

On one hand, clearly the name should never have changed. On the other hand, yeah, it's Ohio. Of course they're gonna be mad about this. They have literally nothing else going for them.

Suddenly conservatives care about the legacy of President McKinley. I've read they're rants where they're suddenly rambling over facts they just learned to express how important McKinley was. Don't worry his legacy remains the same once this blows over America will go right back to not giving a shit about him.
Ohio gave us 8 presidents and McKinley and Grant are the most notable.

Wait what's worse about Ohio than other states? I mean, aside of our depressed deteriorating cities, history of gross political corruption, and Buckeye fans?

aren't you also one of the fatter ones?

Eh, just name a new Cedar Point roller coaster after McKinley. Everyone's happy!

The best thing about Ohio is that it's not West Virginia.

For you, spikestoyiu.

McKinley is a moron spud thick Mick
Breeds like a rabbit thinks with his pick
Anything floors him if he can't fight or drink it
Round 'em up in Ulster tow it out and sink it

He was so awesome he made the rest of the politicians look bad?

soon he will be renaming earth to planet obama . And , every one of his demented followers give 3 cheers of Hip Hip Horayy Our Planet is now Gay .

I laughed at "Our planet is now gay".

I'm torn on this. On the one hand, I fully support local self-determination, as well as the overturning of jingoistic federal propaganda.

On the other hand, Alaskans want this, and screw them! Bunch of snow-bound savages. They don't even have Trader Joe's up there.

Help me out here, Cena. Whom should I be siding with?

Alaskans of course. We've been fed up with Ohio's imperialism. We're not snow savages, we're noble and brave like the Ice Climbers.

"Noble"? That's weird. I just looked up "Alaska" in Burke's Peerage, but nope, no entries. And whaddaya mean "we", Carolina-boy? You live on the complete opposite corner of the country! Stop fronting!

Upon further reflection, I think maybe the best answer here would be a compromise between Alaskans and Ohioans. Mt McKinley should stay Mt McKinley, and in exchange, the Ohio River could be renamed to, I dunno, the Sarah Palin River. Everyone gets something, everyone wins!

Alaska is still in my heart. It was also my first unit, and I'll probably return someday.

I hope you can. Just keep your fingers crossed that it's still named Alaska, and not PresidentTrumpLand.

Obama's skin tone is nowhere near dark enough to be properly depicted by coal. He would have been better of saying that Hershey, Pennsylvania should make a life-sized chocolate statue of him.
