Naming ships after jackasses is not the heritage issue at stake. I appreciate that you are attempting humor. :)
Try the USS Simpson web site:
USS Simpson
The ship is named for: Rear Admiral Simpson, who earned the Legion of Merit Medal for his rescue of over 7,500 Allied Prisoners of War and civilians interned in Japanese concentration camps.
Somehow, Matt Groenig creating a cartoon of suburban jackassery doesn't quite cut it.
Why do you think I wrote the rant in the first place?
My position is that the hallowed traditions are indeed being trodden upon for no good reason, although for the record, I assure you that I hold President Reagan in considerably higher regard than any cartoon character.
