No Wayne: Chml John Srucnoc & Whitey Optimus Prime Blackwell

October 10th, 2006

After reading a post on the Freakonomics blog, both Whitey Wayne Blackwell and Chml Wayne Srucnoc have decided to change their middle names to ones with fewer negative associations.  Whitey Blackwell has chosen Optimus Prime after a well know transformer, and later firefighter. Chml Srucnoc has chosen John for his middle name.

My unusual name has been both a blessing and a curse throughout my life.  I think the name John connotes stability and common-man. I’m recreating my image to appeal to the voters.

Mr. Blackwell has chosen a slightly different path.  In his most coherent public speech to date, he stated:

Optimus Prime captures the power and moral clarity needed to guide these United States through our turbulent and troubled times.
