… That’s Just Silly. Yes, that fun game where you look the stuff that your own side does and shake your head in disbelief. OK, so it’s sort of the first installment, although we’ve played games like this before. They say that confession’s good for the soul – albeit rarely on public property, these days – so we’re probably overdue for a good bout of painful admissions and confessions.
The rules are simple: go find something done by somebody on your side that’s so goofy it makes you roll your eyes, confess it here (with appropriate links) and walk away feeling better. This is explicitly a game for admitting to silly stuff done by your side, not the Other’s; attempts to score points against political opponents are forbidden in this thread, and will probably be deleted, although the temptation to mockingly edit them is a strong one. Best not to force a decision, there.
So, to show willing, I give you… “W” Ketchup! Ollie North’s crowd came up with this winner* – how shocking, huh – and they’re touting it as an alternative to ‘Democratic’ ketchup. Umm, right. I’m struck now with this image of Ollie North somebody to be determined doing the remake of The Manchurian Candidate, pounding the podium with one hand and holding a Heinz bottle in the other, all the while shouting about the Commies.
Sheesh.

UPDATE: A call to the charity – which, by the way, seems decent enough – has indicated that they haven’t gotten a donation from these guys yet; they’ll look into it and let me know one way or the other. I still retain the right to mock this as a Right-wing goof, until such time as it’s been shown to be otherwise.
ANOTHER UPDATE: Got an email from the charity; the group making this is an actual company who will be donating to said charity, which argues against a satire site. The mocking of W Ketchup may now resume.
