For a long time, I’ve advocated a simple rule to reduce Congressional pork: no federally-funded program or facility shall be named after a sitting Congressman, President, or cabinet member. All these Robert Byrd Highways are too reminiscent of ancient Roman politicians who built shrines to themselves.

Today, via The Agitator, I see that we have a new offender: Representative Don Young (R - Alaska), benefactor of the new Alaskan bridge Don Young’s Way.

I’m glad the era of big government is over.
