Yes Pecan. The profits from the sale of this new flavor will, of course, go to a “nonpartisan” group as briefly noted in the linked article:
The proceeds for the ice cream will go to Common Cause, liberally leaning and described as “a nonpartisan, nonprofit advocacy organization founded as a vehicle for citizens to make their voices heard in the political process.”
Now this is all well and good and I don’t really care that Ben and Jerry’s did this, but I believe that we here at RedState could have offered a plethora of names that would have been soooo much more clever and appropriate. The description of this new flavor is here but I will also quote so you don’t have to go to there page:
“YES PECAN!” An Inspirational Blend! Amber Waves of Buttery Ice Cream With Roasted Non-Partisan Pecans.
I think we could do better…Speciallist I expect you to have a great comment, maybe even two….;^)
"Yes Pecan"?

Heh Vladimir...you are so right....

One thing I didn’t include in the diary, what exactly do Ben and Jerry mean by and inspirational blend , could this be due to his mother being white and his father being black???? Just kidding…;^)

mikefisk Thursday, January 8th at 1:35PM EST (link)…knowing the racist propensities of the progressive Left, seeking to subjugate a racial class for political privilege, I was somewhat surprised that they weren’t relabeling Chunky Monkey in Obama’s honor.
And I think my brain now is probably going to hell for actually adopting that mindset long enough to type it out…
