Mr. Mullet sentenced for hair cutting attacks

Now here is a nomen est omen if you ever saw one. Saturday's New York Times reports that Samuel Mullet Sr, 67, was sentenced as the Amish Sect Leader who was behind the series of attacks in 2011 which spread fear through Amish communities in eastern Ohio. "Followers of Mr. Mullet broke into homes, restrained men and women, and forcibly sheared their victims, sometimes with tools used to clip horse manes."

Whatever happened to business in the front, party in the back, Mr. Mullet?

And don't all mullets require tools to clip horse manes?

Nomen Est Omen (first in a series)

“Nomen est omen” is Latin for the “name is the (an) omen.”  I have always been intrigued by this phenomenon. I like those that stretch beyond the obvious Bakers and Fishers. Anthony Weiner’s fate might have been different had he been born with a less ominous name.

There are two fine examples in the news right now—Helen Gurley Brown, who devoted her life to helping girlies; and Usain Bolt, who will be the first to tell you he is the fastest man in the world.
