“Boaty McBoatface isn’t the direction we want to go in.”

What did we tell you about Michael A. Brown and his unstoppable thirst for renaming District streets? That’s right, we called him unstoppable. But while renaming three of the District’s most-used roads in an attempt to promote statehood/confuse the hell out of everyone — quick pop quiz: can you name even one of the convoluted statehood names without cheating? — is one thing, it’s another entirely to introduce legislation to ceremoniously rename a portion of a street after your own father.

D.C. Councilmember Michael A. Brown (Ind.-At-Large), who chaired on the Council’s Special Committee on Statehood and Self-Determination before the body killed it last summer, has been busy on the statehood front: he recently met with new D.C. budget overlord Rep. Jo Ann Emerson (R-MO) and introduced the “District of Columbia as the 51st State of the Union Resolution of 2011“. The real ace up Brown’s sleeve is a push to slap a statehood slogan on a street somewhere the District. But he needs your help, Washington!
