Regrettably, my middle inital is W.
For Wilhelm, after my grandfather.

Anyone else with this unfortunate association? And what's it stand for? Anyone here actually saddled with the grandwazoo middle name "Walker?"

:shrug:

Wilhelm kicks ass.

4. My middle initial is "C"
...for Clinton.

My grandpa was a George W. And he was one of the most liberal people I've ever known (although he passed away back when Bush was still a drunken, failed businessman, so he had nothing to be embarrassed about).

5. a very active Democrat I know is a Walker on her mother's side ...
... plus she just married a guy named Pierce. (That's Bush's mom's original name.)

My friend says, given the situation, she's scared to look into whether she's related. (She backed off after learning that her mother comes from the same part of England as some of Bush's ancestors ... ewww!)
