and they want their children to hate them

Under the fluorescent lights of the Civil Court clerk’s office, Dalton Conley made his request: he wanted to change his four-year-old son’s name to Yo Xing Heyno Augustus Eisner Alexander Weiser Knuckles Jeremijenko-Conley.

At least he didn’t name him something totally ridiculous, like “National Strategy for Victory in Iraq.”

In case you don’t know who Dalton Conley is, he’s the nutty sociologist who argues that men should have control over women’s uteruses.

People who want to burden their children with non-societo normative names that amount to nothing more than onanistic ego massages for the parents… really should just get a dog and leave the kid alone.
