The power of naming

Some online forums and newspapers have been enjoying or stoking some discussion about the significance of names (esp. in regard to Barack Hussein Obama), which has stirred a particularly strange and off-topic thought:

I just realized that I would be president right now if I had only thought to change my name in time to "anybody else". Picture this ballot choice:

George Bush

John Kerry

Anybody Else

It would have been the biggest landslide in history, giving me a firm mandate for my program to renew the importation of Cuban cigars and full-flush toilets.
