After Amerigo Vespucci, the ITALIAN? Whatever, Mister European Socialism. Go drive your Fiat, I'll stick with my Dodge Ram.

Gulf of Reagan or Gulf of Jesus. Pick one or get primaried.

I'm pretty sure this was sarcastic and has backfired in this guy's face. He's a Democrat and going after the anti-immigration types.

Hey Mississippi... one of your villages is missing its idiot

/or your village is missing one of its idiots

I could see renaming it the "Gulf of North America" or something similar, but why bother?

Shhhhh.....

Don't tell anybody, but FIAT OWNS the company that produces your Dodge Ram.

Someone post a crying eagle already.

Gulf of British Petroleum.

sdd2000: How about renaming it BP's toilet and calling it a day.

That analogy fails. A toilet can be cleaned up.

Fine, BP's septic tank. You might be able to clean it but it's always going to be nasty until the day you die.

evilmrsock: The Gulf of Lemmy?

No! Lemmy is British, and therefore has evil socialist roots.

The Gulf of ... Earnhardt?

don't understand: I used to work in Saudi Arabia and the same thing happened over there. The Arabs referred to the gulf as the Arabian Gulf. The Iranians called it the Persian Gulf. A gulf by any other name...

Arabian Sheikhs, Princes of Persia.... it's all good

This has "stuck" before. See: Persian Arabian Gulf

spiderpaz: Also, if we took Guatamala and Belize while we were down there, we would only have to build a fence 100 miles long to keep out the rif raf.

Why ya wanna stop there? Take it all the way to the Canal!

The Who Is John Gulf Of America

How's renaming the Persian Gulf "the Arab Gulf" going for yah, Habibi?

Snark. Snark. Snark.

I like saying Habibi. It's almost as funny as Abitibi pronounced with the local accent.

It's usually a bad idea to change names in the middle of the sea. Makes the map too vague, no bilingual pun intended.

Americans are confused enough about UnAmerican geography without rewriting the text books they don't bother to read any way.

Just look at Canada, all tucked away down there. Any one could miss it. In fact, every year, a lot of tourists set out for it and do miss it entirely. Or else go on a road trip and discover they overlooked the border at some point.

In fact, 25% of all Americans* can't find the United States on a map of the United States. Hint: It's the bit that's colored in. No, not the blue bit. That's the Ocean. No. That's the other Ocean. No.That's Maine. They shouldn't have colored that bit in. And they shouldn't have put Nova Scotia four hundred miles offshore. Sheesh! No wonder Americans have trouble with geography. Where did they print these maps, Laos?

*It's always 25%. 25% of Americans can't name the Vice-President. 25% of Americans think that the first President of the United States was Chuck Norris. 25% of Americans can't see their feet or their genitals without a shovel. Makes you wonder if it's always the same 25%. Maybe they do nothing but take polls for lunch vouchers.

The whole post was comedy gold, but for that line, I'm gonna have to hit you up for a new monitor.
