I ran across this article about some guy in Kentucky who burned 30 pints of Ben and Jerry's ice cream to protest Ben Cohen's protest of George Bush. It's not really all that interesting, but I wanted to comment on this line: "Charlene Harris brought her two sons,-Cheney, 2, and Jay, 4, to the protest after learning about it from a Scott County Republican Party e-mail."
She named her kid Cheney? Now that's a serious Republican.

Of course, one can alternatively imagine the following conversation:
"What should we name our child if it's a boy?"
"Hmmm...that's a tough question."
"John?"
"No, too bland."
"Mortimer?"
"No, too gay."
"Jesus?"
"No, too biblical."
"Reginald?"
"No, too gay."
"Oh wait! I know! Let's name him Newt!"
"A capital idea!"
(I hope nobody named Mortimer or Reginald reads this---especially if they're not wimpy.)
