Finally, Ireland Goes Metric

It was supposed to happen last September, but the government delayed it for five months in order to tell people about it. Last week, they started running TV ads and sending leaflets to people's homes. The change is supposed to come in in one week, though last night, I saw the first sings. Literally. After all these years, our speed limit signs are at last changing from miles to kilometres.
Yay!

I believe that was Reagan's fault. Yet another reason not to put him on the dime...
You didn't, did you?

NO! Thank god! The 2005 dime still thankfully shows FDR, and may it for as long as there exists a dime!
These people saying Reagan should force out the pioneer of social security and leader of the nation through WWII are a bunch of crackpots. I'd welcome another war like that one to show them what it's like!

Iraq...? You've got the war, just a leader even worse than Reagan...
