Kerry: The Ketchup Konnection
:tinfoilhat:

Think about this next time you eat french fries.

The connection between Ketchup & oil is obvious. The top two ketchup makers - Hines & Hunt's. We all know Hines' political connections, but what about Hunt - as in J.B. & Bunker Hunt. Ketchup (or Catsup - i forgot which one was which) emperors - owners of the KC Chiefs - and old-money Texas Oil Barons & John Birchers.

The only way to fight big oil is with a Hines Ketchup monopoly. Put those Hunt bros. out of business. Kerry is the only one who can do this.

Still not convinced? The ketchup wars have been going on for years. Remember when Reagan allowed ketchup to be considered a vegetable for school lunches? Well I bet a bit of research will show that Hunt's won that big ketchup contract.

Or maybe we're just seeing two sides of the same coin here? Maybe all this fighting about ketchup is an orchestrated effort to shut down the Mustard industry. Can Kerry be trusted with his ties to special condiment interests? Is your hotdog safe?

1. I'm worried Kerry will start a war over Ketchup
I don't know what country produces the most, but whatever country that is, they better watch out!

4. Not an issue
"I don't understand the Heinz Kerry issue b/c the Heinz family (ie Teresa and her sons) are not involved AT ALL in the company. The company is not owned by the heinz family anymore.

P.S. Heinz is NOT spelled H-I-N-E-S - were you trying to be funny?

13. Now it's owned by shareholders.
Of which Teresa is a major one. I think we still consider shareholders owners.

8. It's not about condiments, it's about drugs
Several of our family members are addicted to a product that Heinz makes. To the point where is is truly disrupting our lives. These family members, who I love dearly, admit that they are substance abusers, but refuse any help. It has truly gotten to the point where I fear for my life. I don't know what to do and I am very afraid. God, I am a mother, with two small children!

This morning, I was accosted by one of them on the way to the bathroom.
"Hey do you have the stuff? When are going to get the stuff?", he asked.

I said, "Soon, soon. Go find something to do and I will see what I can do."

Seconds later, the other addict came into the bathroom. "Did you get it yet?. All I need is one right now. Please, this is the last one. I won't ask again."

I gave each one of them a hit. But as soon as my husband got up, they were at it again. For crying out loud, they were disrupting his work, trashing his office, looking in file cabinet drawers for their "stuff." After repeated requests for more drugs, my husband finally had had it and had words with one of them. It was ugly.

God, oh God.. John Kerry... Why did you bring Pounce into my life. I will curse you to my grave. Just Kidding. Go Kerry! BTW Pounce is a cat treat.
