Strikes Me As Interesting...

...which could indicate any number of wide and varied eccentricities in the global culture is about to follow.

Nevertheless, one of the banner teases on today's msn.com screen reads, "Secret Government Code Names." Now, as a quick aside, if the government's trying to keep these a secret, they can all heave a collective "Ugh" groan because, well, they've failed if the info's posted on msn.

Anyway, the link leads offers an overview of "who" presidents and their families eventually become and how. But this is the follow-up that struck me as interesting.

Check out the Secret Service code names for Obama (his Scotland Yard moniker takes the cake), both Bushes, Carter (my personal most-liked), and even Reagan.

A skosh reminiscent of call signs when Craig was still in the AF. Proving that names - of any sort or reason - have purpose and meaning.

Which strikes me as interesting.
