I'm watching the Sunday morning yak yak shows and am amused by
the debate on whether it is or isn't underhanded and vile (not to
mention racist, fascist, sexist, homophobic, fill in anything I've
forgotten here) to reference the leading Democratic contender as
Barack Hussein Obama, which is, in fact, his name.
I'm composing a note to the McCain campaign advising JMcC to
issue a press release along these lines: "In an attempt not to
insult the likely Democratic candidate, I will immediately cease
calling him by his real name. Henceforth and hereafter when I speak
of him I will refer to him as Joe Jones. Happy now?"
