Maverick Was Taken

Who doesn’t love code names? The Secret Service agrees that code names rock.

John McCain may have been a self styled Maverick, but Barack Obama’s Secret Service code name is Renegade.

Wow! But how do they decide these code names in the first place? Do presidential veto powers extend to code names? What if the Secret Service tells a president-elect that his/her new code name is something silly like Puffball or Scumbag?

    It’s interesting to know that at least one of those guys has become a fansubber.
    Anyway, you must feel very insignificant for not having any nickname. Well, at least you’ve not been given a silly name with a bunch of numbers.

    @ Chris159159159: Word up son! Silly names with a bunch of numbers (especially ones that repeat 3 times) are SOOOO first-term-George-Bush!

    ok I have to admit, that is kinda sexy…

    Maverick has been forever ruined for me as a serious label…
