No. Gosh I bet you are a pleasant fella to have a beer with.
“They're very, very hard to guard,” Notre Dame head coach Mike Brey said. “They're really good. And with Niang in the middle kind of wheeling and all those guys spreading you out, they're kind of a nightmare matchup. And they're men. They're really men.”

It is a common misunderstanding people have on the origin of "international" in regards to airports and yes, it is fun to make fun of the name for DSM given we all know it is such a small airport. Just seems odd to spend a few paragraphs slamming the airport for the use of the term.
BTW....I don't hate the suburbs and don't work for city of DM.

The Register says the 2 million mark has been eclipsed for the first time ever and the passenger number are up 14.1 percent for the year through the end of November. Omaha is down 4.1 percent and KC down 8.55 percent through the same period.

I've got to say, I like the idea of naming it after Captain Kirk. It would certainly give some attention to the city and state.
