(as seen on MeFi)
To celebrate the Inauguration, Ben and Jerry's has issued a new ice cream flavor, Yes, PeCan, with profits donated to the Common Cause Education Fund.

There's a bunch of suggestions for flavors commemorating Bush/Cheney. Some of my faves:

Iraqi Road
ImPeachMint
WireTapioca
Nut'n Accomplished
Anchovy Fuckup Surprise
Housing Bubble Burst
Neandertholitan
Heckuva Job Brownie
Flunky Monkey
Go Fudge Yourself
Abu Grape
Gitmocha
Is Our Chocolate Learning?
Good Riddance You Lousy Motherfucker... Swirl

So much for bringing the country together…

How some Obama cultists will be celebrating the inauguration:

Adams Morgan Main Street (AMMG) offers “Destination Change” with fun and off-beat events. Adams Morgan Main Street, the non-profit organization that produces “Adams Morgan Day,” presents an Inaugural Promotion highlighting the unique and diverse elements of Adams Morgan from Friday, January 16 through January 20.

Adams Morgan Main Street is hosting and showcasing interesting inauguration-related events with everything from elephant pinatas to extended hours to food and drink specials, costume contests, elephant dart boards, Inaugural inspired artwork and more.

The Kick-Off is at the corner of 18th and Columbia Rd. on Friday, January 16 at 5:30 pm and 7:00pm with an Elephant Pinata Bash - Take a swing! Out with the old, in with the new! Also, plan to “Tell the President!” your ideas by posting them on the Kiosk. On Saturday, January 18 the public can take another Swing at the Elephant Pinata at 11:00 am and 1:00 pm, or catch another opportunity with Grand Central’s pinata that evening at 7:00pm.

L’Enfant Cafe offers a special Inaugural Brunch every day culminating in an Elephant Pinata Bash at 11:00pm on Jan 19.

So much for the new spirit of bipartisanship.

Can you imagine if Republicans had kicked off either of Bush’s inauguration days with Donkey Pinata Bashes?

Climate of fear! Inciting violence! Insane rage!

Nope. Now, it’s all just good “fun and off-beat.”

I'm dyin to try the "Anchovy Fuckup Surprise"

The situations were very different when Bush took office too - I mean lets be realistic - A LOT of shit has gone down in the last 8 years concluding with the grand finale of all time - the economic crisis.
TheMercenary • Jan 12, 2009 11:18 pm
This sums up the last 8 years pretty well IMHO:

I believe ImPeachMint was first introduced during the Nixon administration, at least according to my book on ice cream. Perhaps Potatoe Surprise could work for another. ;)

Heehee...that's why I changed it to "chocolates" rather than "chocolate" as it was in the original post. I had to recreate the number disagreement. ;)

I did neglect to carry it on into the second sentence. Rats!

Aha.
Another one, not for Gdub --

Somehow I don't think that it is a DNC sponsored event.

I'm sure we could find equally if not worse tasteless displays somewhere in the country back when Bush took office. Ms. Malkin has a very selective memory. Since she is quite f***able, I'm willing to forgive her this small defect.

I don't disagree with you. In fact I was more responding in kind to 8 years of attacks. At least we will have 4-8 more years of new materials and screw ups to work with now. :D

I wrote the Ann Coulter rant to say that hateful, spiteful women are not attractive.
Shawnee123 • Jan 14, 2009 9:09 am
My brother, the ultra-conservative, once said something about Coulter being good-looking. I was like "What? She looks like she was rode hard and put away wet" to which mom replied "(Shawnee!)" as she giggled.

I am the first woman to be like "mon dieu that is a beautiful woman" about celebrities, friends, strangers. But I'm sorry...that woman is not beautiful. At all.

And yes, a personality, which can make someone sooooo attractive, does not work in her favor either.
dar512 • Jan 14, 2009 10:06 am
Ann Coulter is a walking bag o' sticks with a mean personality. No interest at all.

I'd do either Michelle Malkin or Anne Coulter, because smart is sexy. X-Lydia thinks la Malkin is cute too.

I think la Coulter would be just as striking in her natural hair color or a dyed glossy jet black... Joan Jett black. It's all those looooong long bones.

The Dumbocrats tend to give me a case of disinterested penis nowadays. I say tend because I don't reckon hormonal attraction (or pheromonal -- some people just smell goooood, good enough to unwrap and lick) has much to do with the intellectual endeavor of politicking.

For a smart woman she sure talks a lot of shit.

Personally, with that long face, I always thought Ann Coulter was John Kerry's sister or something.

I thought her recent comment about 'improving Jews' probably sold another 250,000 of her books.

This thread explains why she was in my dream last night at least.
Although she looked like "Dr" Gillian McKeith.

I was having a row with her about 9/11, in my local supermarket - where I think we were both working. I was so angry I couldn't stop my voice cracking, like when you're trying not to cry.

Let the record show I've called Hilary "Washington's Least Convincing Blonde." Since about Steven Foster's strange death.

Fake-blonde is a big handicap in my book, though I do not blast all hair coloring. Ann Coulter overcomes that handicap -- and I'd still like to check her out in brunette phase sometime. What draws my favorable attention is how she makes the Idiot Left so uncomfortable, and the pseudosophisticates likewise. Schadenfreude, Götterfunken. She grasps how badly they are fucking up, and she makes a case they can't even make relevant answer to.

So the pseuds make a lot of stupid noises about how she's ugly. Puh-leeze. Do you guys want everyone to know how deeply, abysmally untalented and moronic and unwise you really are, proving Ann's case out of your own mouths?
TheMercenary • Jan 19, 2009 8:01 am
The unattractive and unpopular always make fun of those with opposite attributes.
Sundae • Jan 19, 2009 10:10 am
I was delighted when I heard that Jeremy Paxman was interviewing her. He is one of our harshest and most astute political interviewers. He's edged high level politicians into damning admissions and is well known for taking no shit. He bites and he holds.

How disappointed was I? He simply could not believe that the person in front of him was capable of the views espoused in the book she was promoting. So he wasted his questions in bemused disbelief - "Do you really mean it when you say...?" To which her answer was always, Yes, or I wouldn't have written it."

Cultural differences.

Can you connect the dots from Hilary to Beautiful Dreamer? I'm a little confused.
Urbane Guerrilla • Jan 20, 2009 4:32 pm
Wouldn't that be Stephen Foster, Griff? But I see my error: Vincent Foster was the guy I shoulda.

Yeah, I've been known to switch Spike Lee -- with Spike Jones.

Ben and Jerry's is coming out with another new ice cream in honor of the new president.

It is being churned in Washington DC and appropriately being named: Baracky Road----half chocolate and half vanilla surrounded by fruits and nuts.
