“Elliot Blume-Pickle”
Strike 1 - Hyphenated name
Strike 2 - Part of the name is pickle
Rumor has it his nick name is Dill.
With a name like that, they’re damn lucky he’s not an axe murderer.
Could be worse, He could be named Oliver Boliver Butt.

Blume continues: “I’m a mom, and I’m also a writer and an activist. Nothing has made me prouder than seeing my own children — and really, all young people — grow up to be healthy, educated, and in charge of their bodies and their lives. That’s where Planned Parenthood comes in. There is no organization that I know of that supports motherhood and all that it means more than Planned Parenthood. That’s why I’m honoring moms everywhere with my gift to the Planned Parenthood Action Fund today.”
This is the dirty little secret the Planned Parenthood world has long been aware of even if every parent and teacher hasn’t. As one writer on the RH Reality Check website put it: “When you can’t count on the government, schools, or dubiously funded clinics for medically accurate and comprehensive sex education, you can still count on Judy Blume.”
Ah, the Vineyard, where Democrat US Senators can get away with murder...
The pickle connection—the now senior US Senator from MA
has lots of money thanks to marrying the widow of John Heinz,
and the Heinz family made lots of money with their Pittsburgh-based food business. As I joked in ‘04, Kerry was behind in the polls—can he ketchup? Can he cut the mustard,
he’s really in a pickle.
Was amused when I recently visited Pittsburgh and noted that one radio station was nicknamed “The Pickle”. If you go to the
John Heinz history center, you’ll see a tribute to the
Senator featuring pix of him with his then-wife Te-ray-za
(to a reporter of a conservative paper—Tribune-Review?—
Te-ray-za denied saying something she clearly said: “You said something I didn’t say, now shove it”)
The Vineyard...Nantucket (where the Kerrys have a home)...
Pickles, Heinz...57 varieties, one for each state,
Mr. Obama :) Just a bit of free association here...
This is one for xenalyte and tax-chick
Names in the news ... unnngh.
