New York: His name is John McCain, but believe it or not, he is voting for Barack Obama.
Johnathan B. McCain, a Brooklyn-based musician, is not a Republican, travels
frequently to Europe and says a few people have said that he looks like Obama.

McCain said he toyed with the idea of turning the tables on gullible Republicans
by holding a fund-raising dinner under the name John McCain.

making Martin Luther King Jr's birthday, a national holiday.

influential ska band The Toasters. These days, he pounds the skins for a two-man
indie-pop outfit called Ghost Front, which recently played a gig at The Knitting
Factory.
