What to name the Big Dig tunnel?
I love how politicans fight over what to name things. The lastof the Big Dig tunnels is nearly complete and now theres flack over what to name it. I beleive the gov wants it named as a memorail to the vets, while the statesman want to name it after former speaker Tip Oneil. I think both ideas suck. First off there are thousands of generic "vetern" memorials. WHo needs another. 2nd, I hate nameing things after politicians who really do nothing other than spend taxpayers money.
I think we should name it after the people responsible for its creation. "The Taxpayer Memorial Tunnel". For all the taxpayers have done for this country I think its damn time we got a memorial. ps The other tunnel is named after famed baseball player Ted Williams. |

Or maybe the "Whitey Bulger Tunnel"? Maybe he'll turn up for the dedication and the police can finally arrest him.
