Since we're on the subject of web petitions today, here's the inimitable James Taranto's most recent addition to his ongoing catalogue of signatures on the notorious Not In Our Name petition:

...the antiwar petition over at " Not in Our Name" continue [sic] to attract prestigious signatures from all walks of life. Here's a sample, just from the "A" page: Idi Amin, "Retired from Military"; Marie Antoinette, "Aristocrat, noblewoman, progressive dietician"; Emma Ahstrach, who describes herself as coming "from a long line of peace-loving Ahstriches who deplore all forms of violence"; Trendy W. Annabee, who asks "Will this help me get chicks?"; Ayatollah Assaholla, a "physicist" and "Nobel prize candidate for discovery of subatomic nion particles"; and Kemal Anis, "Director of Misanthropic Studies, STD College."

Since anyone can sign anyone's name to these things, I looked up the "O" section to see if I had signed it yet. As of this writing, I have not. But Artis One Name Only, a.k.a. "the Spoonman"; Axel Otto, of the "Motorradclub Kuhle Wampe; Germany"; and Jack Me Off, who identifies himself as "Mostly hippies," all have.
