A Butterstick by any other name ...

Why does the National Zoo ignore the one true name of its new panda cub? Washington-China, Peacefull Mountain? What the hell is that?

The party leaders in Beijing must be behind it all. Apparently a name like Butterstick would only remind poor, overworked Chinese sweatshop workers of what they don't have.

We can't let such a cutie-wootie cause riots in the streets.

As far as I'm concerned, though, he'll always be Butterstick to me. Even when he weighs enough to eat a million of them in one sitting.
