A trio of Danish Rasmussens

I enjoyed Hugh Muir's piece in the Guardian today noting Denmark's fondness for electing people called Rasmussen, and the potential savings it might make.

"Tonight, the world leaders' cavalcade rolls on to Germany, and Baden Baden, for celebrations of the 60th anniversary of Nato. On Saturday, following ceremonies in Kiel and Strasbourg, either side of the Rhine, the 28 heads of state of Nato spend the day in a working session, seeking consensus on the choice of the new general secretary. The favourite is Denmark's right of centre prime minister, Anders Fogh Rasmussen, who is popular here, with the French and in the US, and who succeeded Poul Nyrup Rasmussen, now a leading member of the European parliament. His replacement is likely to be Lars Lokke Rasmussen. All three are unrelated, but if the seers are right, consider what the country saves in name badges and stationery."
