Republicans dip freedom fries in "W Ketchup", not

Post by Marksist »

Yahoo News

WASHINGTON, (AFP) - Americans allergic to the subtle Democratic flavor of Heinz ketchup can now plunge their "freedom fries" into a 100-percent guaranteed, patriotic alternative: "W Ketchup."

"You don't support Democrats. Why should your ketchup?" says the W Ketchup Internet site wketchup.com, which promises a totally US-made condiment, right down to the bottle.

Heinz ketchup is an institution on American dining tables.

But the taste has soured a little for Republicans because Heinz empire heiress Teresa Heinz-Kerry is married to John Kerry (news - web sites), the Democrat hoping to unseat George W. Bush -- also known simply as "W" -- on November 2.
Any takers? :)

Thats just as dumb as labelling French Fries "Freedom Fries". It's just a fucking condiment. If certain Americans wern't so petty I'd think it was funny.

Colin Ketchup? Did it ever occur to you where it sounds like that Ketchup comes from?
Devolution is quite as natural as evolution, and may be just as pleasing, or even a good deal more pleasing, to God. If the average man is made in God's image, then a man such as Beethoven or Aristotle is plainly superior to God, and so God may be jealous of him, and eager to see his superiority perish with his bodily frame.

My neurons are wondering whether they should commit suicide in order to not be afflicted by any more painful stupidity, or if they should hang on in morbid curiousity to see how low the Bush Administration will go.

Will there ever be a bottom to the barrel? Will they get a shovel or drill an oil well if they reach it? Join them tomorrow for more non-witty antics!

I officially fucking hate these people. Between "Star Spangled Ice Cream" and "W Ketchup," America's idiotic conservatives have succeeded in making my head hurt.

This is only slightly less crazy than that Republican Ice Cream that was billed as a conservative alternative to Ben & Jerry's. What is wrong with humanity??

I wonder if we can arrange for the Republicans to tell their voters not to drink water or breathe air because Democrats are in favor of laws to keep those clean...

The dead only vote when they're Democrats. And even then only in Chicago.
