(which produces this quote:)

"Shakespeare did not have Tom Good in mind, of course, when he wrote,
'What's in a name?' But the Bard probably would have enjoyed the
contrasting monikers of the Montpelier resident and his fictitious
alter-ego: Rob Moore. 


Tall and bearded, Good is a 41-year-old, single, self-employed architect
who specializes in environmentally responsible projects. The
identical-looking Rob Moore heads the Vermont chapter of Billionaires
for Bush, a protest group that uses satirical street theater to skewer
greedy, right-wing capitalists. Although "B4B" has some adherents in
France, Germany, Australia and South Korea, it is primarily a homegrown
phenomenon with about 64 branches in 27 states. They strike out with an
array of clever battle cries, such as 'Hands Off Halliburton' and 'Leave
No Billionaire Behind.'"
