Semi-OT: Biden's Code-name

Just reading a piece on the BBC's website about presidential code names (which are too public to do much good if you ask me) and I stumbled across this little nugget:
Vice-President-elect Joe Biden is known as Celtic.
He's from Pennsylvania, so I thought he'd be 76er or something.
Here's the article if you're so inclined:

It may be a joke the service had, Obama's is Renegade, for a while Bill Clinton's was the fat man.

The code names don't have enough value to be worth keeping secret. Long lists of them can be found on Wikipedia. Families all start w/ the same letter. E.g., Palin was Denali (an anagram for Denial

), while her husband was a manly Driller.

Sarah Palin said so many stupid things while campaigning, her code name was Joe Biden.
*/that was either Letterman or Leno, can't remember/*

FYI, Biden's code name is pronounced with a hard C. But it's still funny. Wyc should send Biden a jersey with his name on it.
