Observations from the boss's daughter

Namings

So of course people pay millions of dollars to firms that think of names for companies. Arguably, this is silly hype that produces names like Agilent and Verizon. However, looks like our president could've used some help in that arena... his first oil exploration company was named 'Arbusto' (means 'Bush' in Spanish! Get it??) and any company that goes belly-up should kinda not have 'busto' in its name. Then when GHWB became president, junior named it Bush Exploration. Which I think sounds kinda dirty. And now the more recent oil exploration company was called Operation Iraqi Freedom, whose initials don't even quite spell oil. Alas.

1. I majored in bush exploration in college

Did my share of drilling but I never struck oil.

3. We should insist on referring to the war as Operation Iraqi Liberation

Just to get the acronym.

Just keep calling it that, like the Pubs do with "Democrat" as an adjective (eg Democrat congress).
