Reader Kate Moss brought to my attention that the Anchorage International Airport is in fact, the Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport. Really, you deserve the embarrassment you get for naming the largest airport in your state after Ted Stevens. Whatever happened to waiting until someone was dead to name something after them? Notice his name is still prominately displayed at the top of the website. Anyone want to bet how long that will last?
Seriously though, what do you do if you're in charge of the Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport (that's too much fun to write to even think about abbreviating it)? Who's in charge of naming airports? The state government? I'll keep abreast of the naming situation and let you know if there are any further developments.

His name will stay on the airport letterhead until the day the verdict is handed down. But make no mistake: somewhere, in some anonymous hangar, a building maintenance supervisor got a call this morning that instructed him to make a whole raft of replacement signs that read, simply, Anchorage International Airport, just in case.
