WND unclear on the concept

World Net Daily hires a plane to fly a banner saying "WHERE'S THE REAL
BIRTH CERTIFICATE?" over Cowboys/Giants game. Which was being played
in a covered stadium.

WND in the subject line caught my eye. Yesterday in the item on Drudge
about Michael Savage trying to buy Newt out of the race, the URL for
Savage's site had "wnd" as a component of the path.

<http://www.michaelsavage.wnd.com/2011/12/savage-offers-gingrich-1-million-to-drop-out-of-the-race-will-announce-on-show-today/>

I never heard of World Net Daily, and the page the link goes to
doesn't say that anywhere. Is it the same organization?

Apparently. If you Google:

"michael savage" wnd

... this is the first hit:

1. Michael Savage - WorldNetDaily

But that's a perfect message for nobody to actually see. It's not like
the message was
"Will you marry me, Sheila*?"

*nobody names their kids Sheila anymore. We've seen the last of
Sheila.

I thought you were kidding, but this site seems to agree:

Tommy Roe will be so disappointed.

So will the Bruces.

Two atoms are walking along. Suddenly, one
stops. The other says, "What's wrong?" "I've lost
an electron." "Are you sure?" "I'm positive!"

We just got a Christmas card from our best friends, with a cute photo
on the front of their three grandchildren (from two different of their
children) who are named: Jade (a boy); Tao (a boy, and pronounced
TAY-oh); and Sonnet (a girl).

None of those three of course appear on that web site of top 1000 baby
names, except Jade -- as a girl's name.

If you knew these friends, who are very conventional Ronald Reagan
Republican types, you'd be even more amused.


I'm amused anyway!

Sonnet's a pretty name. Jade is going to become more common for boys
because various celebrities have named their sons Jayden (various
spellings) and Jade is an obvious nickname. Tao is going to be in for a
lifetime of irritation at having his name mispronounced.

On the other hand, maybe people shouldn't worry about that. In the seven
years that I've been fully responsible for my mother, I have tried to
explain the name "Elsbeth" countless times. No one gets it. "It's
Scottish for Elizabeth", I say, and they sometimes get it, but usually
not. Everyone just calls her Elizabeth.

There should be a support group for you and children of Daffyds and
Alises.



I have a co-worker whose brother-in-law is named Cynedd. Pronounced
"Kenneth".

Of course, he's Welsh, so there's some reason for it.

That's my sister's name, but with an "s": "Elisabeth". No, we're not
German. 'Murricans generally knew how to pronounce it, just spelled it
wrong. Of course, now she lives in Germany where it's a perfectly
ordinary spelling.
