#1 The difference between the left and the right is that the right actually supports its nations soldiers, but the left despises them.

#4 Goodness, lotp. To think I refused to hyphenate my name on the grounds that it was too long for a total of twelve letters.

#5 TW, if I may; i just think hyphenated names just look pretentiously dorky.

#6 I tried to get my sister to hyphenate when she married. "Hagmaier-Nedeljkovic" just makes me giggle.

#7 Pretentiously dorky? It was 1982,and all the rage among the liberated young professional women at the Fortune 500 company that had hired Mr. Wife straight out of college. But at the time I had only three publications under my name -- all as the very juniormost author, a kindness of my mother, the senior author -- I was only 20, and anyway I didn't think I was ever going to need to reestablish my professional identity after a divorce. Besides, Ohio in those days automatically gave the wife her husband's patronym, and required filing for a legal name change to get one's maiden name back, let alone a hyphenated monstrosity such as we contemplated. After a bit of intense conversation conducted in forte tones, Mr. Wife realized I was not amenable to persuasion, the clever man.
