So John Kerry's Secret Service code name is Minuteman, presumably a reference to his Massachusetts roots. John Edwards was dubbed Speedway, a nod to North Carolina's NASCAR heritage. George Bush goes by Trailblazer, and Dick Cheney was unfortunately tagged Backseat. Couldn't they have done better by the former White House chief of staff, member of Congress, corporate CEO, and current vice president?

I'm curious what the Secret Service would name me. Lumberjack? Woodsman? Flannelman? A brief web search for a Secret Service code name generator turned up nothing, so please drop me a line if you find one.
