Will you name your baby Obama?
Obama victory sparks baby naming frenzy

KISUMU, Kenya, Nov 5 (Reuters Life!) - The U.S. election has triggered a new generation of mini Barack Obamas with parents in Kenya and the United States naming their newborns after the new president-elect.
At the Nyanza Provincial General Hospital in Kisumu, western Kenya, Barack's ancestral homeland, several mothers were naming their babies after the U.S.'s first African-American president.
The mothers told Reuters Television that they wanted their babies to grow up to have thesame successful traits as Obama.
"I would like that by the time he is in his 40s he becomes the president of this country," said Nancy Otieno proudly of her newborn son Barack Obama.
Another new mother, Millicent Akoth, named her new daughter Michelle Obama after the soon-to-be first lady.
Obama has been elevated to rock star status in the east African nation which has named a beer, "Senator," after him and where "Obama: The Musical" opened last weekend.
Obama, who was born in Hawaii to a white mother from Kansas and a Kenyan father, is idolised by many Africans in the way the Irish revered U.S. President John F. Kennedy in the 1960s -- as one of their own who succeeded beyond their wildest dreams.
But it is not just Kenyans naming their babies after him.
South Florida couple Patrick and Sasha Hall were reported on Wednesday to be among the first since the election to bestow the name Obama on their child, Obama Hall, according to the Miami Herald.
The name Barack means blessed, according to Web site babynames.com, while Obama was the given name of his great-grandfather that became his grandfather's surname.

I'd rather name my kid Woodrow...
"I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country.
A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit.
Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation,
therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men.
We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely
controlled and dominated governments in the civilized world.
No longer a government by free opinion, no longer a government by
conviction and the vote of the majority, but a government by
the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men."Coarse edged youth, the irish pendants string from their smiles
not yet plucked as to slacken the seams
and drag down the features of age,
no folds or creases from unkempt wear
eyes of tranquilty, crystalline-beads
no sign of despair in their hair, nor their hearts
but oh they have yet to be experienced and that makes aging so very worth it...ML circa2012

The black boys names sound like cigarettes and synthetic materials, and the girl names sound like cleaning supplies and medications.
I know that blacks don't care for their kids, but that's harsh.So many cries of inequality stem from one of group
of people doing little or nothing and then bitching
about another group that actually does something
to improve their lives.

Propecia's nickname Finasteride, how ironic would it be if she turned out to be one of those bald-headed ho's who end up losing all their hair from too many weaves?
