I was thinking of Kerry, and the criticism he's receiving for being the ketchup man.<br><br>
I came up with "Spill ketchup, not oil" and "spill ketchup, not blood" and I thought I was being amazingly clever.<br><br>
Please, no debating the spelling of ketchup. It is obviously not catsup.

Did I miss a news story or something? Did Kerry choke on ketchup or something? (Silly back-reference to Bush's choking on a pretzel, sorry, not funny ...)<br><br>
Or maybe that Kerry is ketchup to Edward's Grey Poupon?<br><br>
:LOL<br><br>
But seriously ... clever. Cute. Amazingly ... no. But clever, yes.<br><br>
Now just wish I understood the reference.<br><br><img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.mothering.com/discussions/images/smilies/headscratch.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="headscratch">

Am amazed I didn't get that. Yeah, I do know who his wife is.<br><br>
Brain dead today, I guess ...

doesn't mean that you actually are. I change my registration all the time depending on what primary is coming up. I never vote to sabotage but rather I vote for the candidates I like. I voted in the Repubilcan primary 4 years ago for McCain because I found Bush to be scary and because I like McCain. I then ended up voting for Gore in the election.

speaking of wives who change attitudes to support their husbands... there's always Maria Shriver.

No pie, that is wrong.<br><br>
Teresa Kerry married INTO the Heinz family, her first husband died and they had three children together and the oldest who *is* the heir is working for Kerry's campaign. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.mothering.com/discussions/images/smilies/smile.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="smile">

Sort of related: y'all remember the Reagan administration, when ketchup was declared a "vegetable" for the school lunch program? Yep, they serve your kid fries and ketchup, and get to count that they served them two "vegetables." <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/img/vbsmilies/smilies/eyesroll.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="roll">
