War continues in Iraq. They're calling it Operation Iraqi Freedom. They were going to call it
Operation Iraqi Liberation until they realized that spells 'OIL...

While on the subject of less fortunate acronyms (and oil). The Danish Oil and Natural Gas-consortium
is called... DONG. No idea what they were thinking.

I can beat that one (not beat the dong)...oh never mind. In Canada (ya'll remember Canada, the
country whose Prime Minister's secretary refered to Dubya during a Press conference as a Moron).
Well we had 2 Federal (Right Wing Parties) named the Alliance and the Reform and they merged. Their
new name was the Canadian Reform Alliance Party. You know it took them weeks before they realized
their Party initials formed the word CRAP....DOH

In their defense, people might have thought they were up to something fishy if they had chosen
Canadian Alliance Reform Party instead.
