Naming Angeles National Forest

Once again outrage and hilarity, those two perennial front-runners in any political event, have finished in a dead heat with Pete Schabarum’s proposal for a Ronald Reagan National Forest. The only thing I have heard this year sillier than this proposition is the “reason” Schabarum gives for it--Reagan’s alleged “love of the outdoors.”

Let’s face reality, Mr. Schabarum. The only time Ronald Reagan loves the outdoors is when it is, in John Muir’s memorable expression, “dollarable.”
