Okay, I promise that I will post my speech on the Middle East crisis later this week, but today I want to offer you a scoop of comedy. Things have been so depressing the last few days that I want to lighten things up just a little bit. What better way to cool off and relax than eating ice cream on a hot summer's day.
One of my friends sent me the American Pie chart on the Ben and Jerry's website, allowing you to allocate the nation's budget how you see fit. I went over to the main page and entered the Do Us A Flavor contest, where you get to create your own flavor of ice cream. A great activity for summer.
I spent a few minutes brainstorming and came up with a flavor that I felt was politically inspired and would be delicious. No, it's not Bill Maher-ble Swirl, though that is not a bad idea.
My ice cream flavor consists of a strawberry ice cream base filled with chunks of brownies, almonds, malt balls, strawberry swirls and chocolate shaped like quail. If you have not guessed the the name of this flavor by the last ingredient, or the title of the article, then here it is.
"Cheney's Hunting Accident." Sounds yummy, eh?
It's worth a try, anyway. Besides, if you order it in Texas you get a free beer. You can't lose!
Okay, so it does not sound appetizing at first, but it deserves a chance. Sadly, this flavor is not on the shelves yet. Sorry if I got your hopes up. However, my flavor or yours could reach your local shelves soon if it is selected as the winner!
My other more serious flavor submission was Blueberry Walnut Cake with Marshmellow Swirl. I think that has a better chance of winning, but if you want to get political, go right ahead.

Feel free to share your flavor ideas below... though because this is not a troll post I assume that they will not be includeed in the Troll cookbook. ;-) Darn.
