BS: A new form of protest

From: Zhenya

Just came across this article. It made me smile, anyway. I've posted the first two paragraphs and a link to the whole article.

"A British man named Eric Bush has taken a dramatic step to protest the U.S.-led war in Iraq - he's changed his name.

Bush, a 72-year-old retiree living in Jonquieres, southern France, says he was ``ashamed'' to bear the same name as President Bush. He said he had it officially changed Friday to Eric Buisson - the French word for bush."

haha! I like that! Now if one of my sister's would give up her married name of Chaney! (She was only married to the guy for 5 years and that was over 20 years ago!) Same sound, just different spelling!
