Names that Don't Inspire Confidence

As you know, I don't hear well. Every time I hear the name of the current war czar in Iraq, I shake my head. What? What is that name? I keep hearing "betray us," no matter who is talking ... from C-Span to NPR to the local yokels at the radio station. Now I know it was me not hearing right and that the name is Petraeus. Sheesh.... And yet, in my first google on the name here is a link to an article in the Washington Post about the general....So, maybe, it is not just me. http://blog.washingtonpost.com/earlywarning/2007/01/the_overrated_general_petraeus.html

former state police superintendent Gerald Massengill will lead that independent review."
Folks, it's rip and read time. Oy, if names affect how you feel about an individual, here's one we could do without as independent reviewer on the Virginia Tech murders.
