Here's a little something I stumbled across while using the Yahoo! site. Considering what sort of things are usually read about the politician in question, I thought this would be a nice change of pace.  www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,2081512,00.html |

My mom used to have a friend named Jacqueline Kennedy. One time my mom tried to dial the operatior for her number, and they laughed at her and hung up.
But I kinda feel bad for this girl, she hasn't even done anything stupid yet and people make fun of her.

Of all the celebrities to share a name with... I feel worse for Joseph Hussein Pol Pot Bin Laden Hitler Stalin, myself. I was gonna throw Beck in, but I didn't want people thinking I was comparing Beck to Hitler. That's unfair. He's more a Goebbels man....>.> |

I remember when Barack Hussein Obama first came onto the national scene as a senator. When someone said that he might become president, I laughed, thinking 'No American would elect someone who has a last name that rhymes with Osama, and a middle name matching Iraq's former dictator.'
Thankfully, I was proven wrong....

This is an old reference but...does anyone remember the Seinfeld episode where Elaine's boyfriend was named Joel Rifkin? Then she tries to persuade him to change his name to O.J.--then the following year O.J. Simpson was accused of murder.

Is it just me, or does that pic on the link just scream the word threesome?

Anyone who doesn't think Palin is a sellout at this point is an idiot.

LinkNobody quite as famous as Sarah Palin, but it makes it a little harder when you're trying to establish a name for yourself as an artist.

Start going by "John Erik". Or, for extra cool points, "Jean-Eric".

Keith Urban (the musician) tried to steal an artist with the same name's website domain by claiming the guy was falsely advertising himself, even though the guy have been in business before Urban ever got popular.
This kinda shit is why I'm changing my name to Lucrezia Nyx. Kneeeeel before Nyx!

Such as setting a giant pile of Palin's books on fire, using human hair as kindling. Human pubic hair, that is. It's a metaphor for the plight of Tibetan monks. |

I guess I'm lucky in that I have a really common surname, but I've only ever met three people with my same given name, and they all spell it differently.
At least it can be shortened to a more common name so it's less confusing.
