Unfortunately true. I think there was a West Wing episode where an aide 
got sent to Bismark as well. The meeting room they showed on tv was far 
better than anything we've got in reality.

I doubt the name thing will go anywhere though. Its a waste of time and 
will just increase the number of illegal Canadians sneaking across the 
border to steel our beer.
