My point on the politicians' names is that they are known for restricting Americans' freedoms so if they try to take away my right to protest their behavior, they will have a very public fight on their hands. Sorry to get so political but these three dummies get me fired up. (Has to do with US Cuba policy) Oops.

I built a little fan site there and get an email from a fan now and then. NEVER heard from anyone wanting the name though. Kind of sad really. I also own several Miami politicians' names(all of whom are running for re-election this year) that I use as a political protest and would love to be challenged on those.

Why would anyone try to claim ownership of a well known personality's name? We all know that 80% of UDRP decisions end in the Complainant taking the name (and that 80% figure is bandied about to scare the daylights out of domain owners). But if you read the actual UDRP decisions, you'll find that probably 90% of the names should have been handed over because they are names that most rational people wouldn't try to covet.
