Friendly Fire First: It Started Here!

| | Comments (1) |

I just read in the New York Times that some Obama supporters are changing their middle names to Hussein as a reaction against the misuse of his middle name by Obamaphobes and Muslim haters. I would like to take some credit (or blame if you prefer) for starting this new trend in February with my article: What's in a Name?

Note that my FF bio has the Hussein modification and explanation.

Like my name isn't strange enough but ok. My brother Barack and I now share the same middle name!!

What IS in a name........

Not sure what my father would have said, but I have the distinct feeling he'd be proud.
