5. No, the only Sidney I ever knew of
was Tom Sawyer's obnoxious little cousin. Connotation is all. Reality is unimportant in the middle name game.

2. it was stupid to talk about middle names with allen, its stupid to do so with Obama
and it would be stupid to do so with McCain. Unless you're 12 years old of course. Then making fun of people's names is par for the course.

Meanwhile the rest of us are joking around in a sardonic fashion like grown-ups.

4. Well, that's a very nice name.
I mean that sincerely. He should have gone by that name instead of "John." Sidney McCain. Sounds like a movie star. Heh.

I just looked it up and it means "wide meadow." It was also a popular boy's name around 1900...

25. See? We're all merely helping to show
that ominous mutterings about middle names are naught but amusing diversions. :-)

26. Hmmm. Last line of Albert Sidney Johnston bio at wikipedia
Grant, writing in his memoirs, considered Johnston as having failed to live up to earlier expectations. Let's take it as an omen.

28. There are Texans who worship Albert Sidney Johnston like a God. Unreconstructed Johnny Rebs.

Clearly a little levity has been sorely needed here in GDP

30. 'Sidney' is the name of the lead gay character on "Love, Sidney", right? :)
Heck, it's fun sometimes acting a like a reich-winger.
