Trying to formulate a thought here need a little help...in the Sunday edition of our local rag a
LTTE was on a rant about Barack Hussein Obama and I thought about it and it came to mind that I know an awful lot of Mary's and even a Jesus or two, now the help I need is how to throw this back into their face since most of their rants are about him being Muslim and them being "christian".Just to show how really stupid this name thing is.

3. Isn't Barack a "Junior?" Seems like his father gave him the same
name. I know a lot of guys who are Juniors and don't particularly like their names, but feel like changing them would be an insult to their fathers.

Other tidbits: I think Barack is actually Swahili. Swahili is an African trade language, a common language to many peoples made up of other tongues, particularly Arabic.

Nother thought: Some years ago, there was not only Saddam Hussein of Iraq, but King Hussein of Jordan, an ally; King Hassan of Morocco, also an ally, and Hosni Mubarack of Egypt, also an ally of the U.S. if not of democracy. All those are variants of the Arabic consonant grouping H-S-N, I think. One of the most common names in the world. The whole thing is so stupid. Do I think exactly like Laura Bush just because my name is Laura?
