The White House announced yesterday that President Obama will officially change the name of Alaska’s Mt. McKinley to Denali.

“The President has always liked Vice-President Biden’s GMC Denali and thought it would be a cool name for the mountain,” explained White House spokesperson Midge Piano, who quickly clarified that Biden’s truck isn’t an actual Denali, but rather a Denali tribute. “You have to be a damn college football coach to afford a real Denali,” said Piano.

At 20,237 feet (3,372.8 fathoms) Denali is the highest mountain peak in America, according to a booklet called, “The Highest Mountain Peaks in America,” and was originally named after President William McKinley, who ordered the mountain built in 1889 to provide shade for Alaska’s indigenous Athabaskan people.
