Gregg Easterbrook solves the Greece/Macedonia "name issue"

As you know, for years, Greece has refused to call its northerly neighbor Macedonia and the Macedonians won't accept being called anything else. Gregg Easterbrook, in his ESPN column Tuesday Morning Quarterback, comes up with some clever solutions. Macedonia, he argues, should retaliate by renaming itself
[t]he Greatest Nation in Human History. This would force the United Nations to say, "Now we will hear from the delegate representing The Greatest Nation in Human History."


This reminds me of my roommate's clown band The Maestrosities, who smartly realized that no one had taken the website www.thecoolestbandever.com. So they nabbed it.
