Sticks bin Stones

Should the reality-based community pre-emptively take back "Obama bin Biden" as a pride badge before the other side can enshrine it as the giggling sneer they'll piss at us for the rest of the year? Or is it not worth the energy?

I wouldn't worry too much... The sort of people who would mock Obama and Biden based on a
poor joke on their names probably were planing on voting against them anyway. Every
politician seems mockable if you dislike him. Whenever I get worked up about politics I
take a deep breath and remind myself that I don't live in a swing state and I vote only out
of civic duty--it's not going to make any marginal difference. Especially as a conservative
(sorry!) in a liberal state, I'd rather keep my friends and have pleasant dinner conversations
than try to convince other people of my opinions...
