Query
To all possible names have the abbreviation for a chemical elements in them, or did some people have to get turned down for a role in Breaking Bad because their name didn't have an element in it?
Libertarians, My Libertarians!
Cruel to be kind means that I love you . Because, while I think you are mistaken, your hearts are in the right place -- yes, even you, Silas -- unlike some people . This Breitbart fellow (discussed in the link above), by all appearances, deliberately doctored a video of Shirley Sherrod to make her remarks appear virulently racist, when they had, in fact, the opposite import. I heard that at a recent Austrian conference, some folks were talking about "Callahan's conservative turn." While that description is not entirely inaccurate, I must say that a lot of these people who today call themselves conservative give me the heebie-jeebies.
For some reason, surnames that fail are far less common than first names. Of top 300 each of male and female first names (US,) and top 1000 surnames, I get:

In the next 2000 surnames, add Mead, Meade, Meza, and Metz.
ReplyDeleteOk, my second comment looks really odd without my first. Hey, Gene, can you whitelist me somehow? I won't go Silas on you.
