In 1998, a reverential Republican Congress changed the name of DC’s National Airport to Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport. Soon a grateful nation’s corporate owners will erect a sculptural tribute to our sainted 40th President. It will be conveniently located near one of the airport’s new Pet Relief Areas (dog owners: please do not confuse the two).
The artwork will be chosen by the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation, not the airport’s admirable public arts process. A sculpture has yet to selected. Our entry is pictured above, based on Mr. Reagan’s enduring wisdom: “You can tell a lot about a fellow’s character by the way he eats jelly beans.”
