What's in a name?

I know so little about American politics that it is laughable. But I definitely found it funny that Obama rhymes with Osama and his middle name is Hussein. I should not comment on this until I have read the relevant Wikipedia article, or sobered up. A wee dram on Burn's night is good for the soul.

Barry Alabama.

On that note, who will be the next Prime Minister? My money's on Jade Goody.

Charles Kennedy. Failing that, Carl Kennedy. Both are more likely than Sir David Menzies Cambell, who is actually a time-travelling Liberal who was sick of being overshadowed by W.E. Gladstone.

Incidentally, isn't Barry Alabama the name of a Chili Peppers song?
