I thought Rosie O'Donnell was in Ireland. They must have slingshotted her to Burma.

I’m glad that you used “Burma“ in your headline instead of “Myanmar.” This reflexive kowtowing to the demands of the current regime of who-knows-where is absurd. And let’s spell the capital of Ukraine as Kiev (where my grandmother came from), not Kyiv.

On the domestic front, consider Mount McKinley, now declared Denali, and Squaw Valley a/k/a “Palisades Tahoe.” The Biden administration’s Interior Dept. had also planned to rename a vast number of other geographic sites for insufficient wokeness. As reported in the 2022 Smithsonian Magazine piece, “U.S. Will Rename 660 Mountains, Rivers and More to Remove Racist Word”:
Led by the U.S. Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland, the first Native American to serve as cabinet secretary, the February 2022 release of the list marks the next step in a sweeping plan to remove the racist and misogynist slur “squaw” from the national geographic landscape. Hundreds of U.S. geographic sites, including mountains, rivers, lakes, remote islands and more, currently are named using the word, report Neil Vigdor and Christine Hauser for the New York Times.

Fortunately this plan was stopped in its tracks with the election of Donald Trump.
