Moxie Crimefighter

During my unintentional hiatus, lots of people have emailed me about my pal Penn (of Penn & Teller) naming his baby Moxie Crimefighter.

For the record, my middle name is LibshitFighter. And although it was discussed in the deep recesses of my warped mind, I am not the godmother of Penn's little bundle of Libertarian joy.

Since I may never produce my own Moxie Jr., I'm pleased as punch to see the name passed along within a good family. If not my own, who better than the man who shows that recycling patchouli bottles is worse for the environment than tossing your craptastic bottles and cans into the plain old fashioned trash bin.

In the event that I find a man willing to bear a right wing little satan, and he passes along the X chromosome -- my daughter will be named Moxie DickCheney. Or Moxie Halliburton.

Unless you all have better suggestions for an appropriate middle name...

Read the funniest quote about Libertarians the other day...

Libertarian is simply code for a Republican with no money.

Heh...so true in most cases.

As for middle name suggestions...

"In the event that I find a man willing to bear a right wing little satan..."

I think she meant

"In the event that I find a non-stalking, attractive, intelligent man willing to bear a right wing little satan."

But that rules out us dorky conservatives. It is an irreconcilable contradiction!

Reproduction? Surely you've been pestered and stalked by way too many unqualified volunteers. Shoot, I'd volunteer myself if my wife didn't have such strict rules.

Might I suggest that you get unqualified donors because of uncertainty as to the precise qualifications you seek in a donor? Why don't you publish what you are looking for? Then, we would know what lies we should tell.

As for the name, one name is sufficient. Two, as selected by Mr. Gillette, is just pretentious and weird. Just go with one, but update it with a hippity hop flavor -- MoxZ.

Regards, and glad to see you are back.
