This year’s drawn-out primary season might have you wrestling with election fatigue, but that’s no reason to neglect your duty to participate in Name of the Year‘s 2008 Tournament. The first round of voting is going on now.

So let us forget momentarily Messrs. Obama, McCain, Paul, Huckabee, Nader and Mrs. Clinton. The time has come for us to cast our votes for the likes of Genesis Lightbourne, Clarence Clapsaddle, Spaceman Africa, Urban Couch, Firm Dinkins, Destiny Frankenstein and the other contenders vying to join last year’s winner, Vanilla Dong, in the annals of nomenclatural history.
