Presidents' initials spur intrigue

     1. Barack Hussein Obama- Isn't it a little weird that his middle name closely resembles the ethnicity of the country we are fighting with? Just an interesting coincidence. I wonder if this affected the election at all ...

     2. George Walker Bush- According to www.namestatistics.com, George is the current 16th most popular name, while Walker is pretty much the opposite, coming in at 997th.

     3. William Jefferson Clinton- First of all, it's weird hearing William instead of Bill like he is commonly referred to. Secondly, Jefferson? Really? It must be an unspoken law that you must have a weird middle name to be president.

     Damn, my middle name is Lynne. Guess I can't be president.

     4. George Herbert Walker Bush- I'm confused as to why people commonly refer to this George's son as George Junior, because technically he isn't a junior. Juniors must have the same full name as the father and old George has an extra middle name.

     5. Ronald Wilson Reagan- I'm seeing a trend. Last names of past presidents make good middle names for future presidents. I think I'm going to name my future son Washington Adams (insert last name). Maybe it'll catch on.

     6. James Earl Carter, Jr.- I can only think of two things. First, that stupid TV show called "My Name is Earl." Reruns come on right after "Lopez Tonight" on TBS, and by that time I am almost asleep and don't have the energy to find my remote to change it.

     And second, Jimmy was a peanut farmer. I'm pretty sure that is the only thing they teach about him in elementary and junior high school.

     7. Gerald Rudolph Ford- Sing it with me, "Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer had a very shiny nose … "

     8. Richard Milhous Nixon- It's obviously obscure but it seems fitting. If you've ever seen "Frost/Nixon," I can almost hear Frank Langella say it.

     9. Lyndon Baines Johnson- For having the second most popular last name according to www.namestatistics.com, Lyndon (No. 1,020) and Baines are hilariously uncommon.

     10. John Fitzgerald Kennedy- Maybe I shouldn't poke fun because he was assassinated … Nah, he has a funny middle name too. t&c;
