Ben & Jerry's ice cream is just so-so. Haagen-Dazs is the gold standard, much better than the Vermont product. Both will make you fat.
But Ben & Jerry's will also make you stupid. Bad combination, dumb and zoftig. Not a resume enhancer.
If Che had not been assassinated in Bolivia, he might be on Ben and Jerry's board of directors. On July 4, the ice cream idiots put out a tweet condemning Presidents Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, and Teddy Roosevelt, accusing them of stealing Native American land.
Che would have loved that. More Cherry Garcia, please.
The Ben & Jerry's folks are also demanding the USA "return" all the stolen property. Right on and far out. Power to the people.
Overlooked in the moronic tweet is the fact that in every country on the planet, power took property. No exceptions. Check out the Mongols, Vikings, Greeks, Romans, Russians, Chinese, Australians, and on and on.
Not justifying. Simply explaining the harsh reality of the world.
London seized the land of my ancestors in County Cavan, Ireland. Chances are your people lost big as well.
But back to the communist Ben & Jerry's outfit. The original owners, Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield sold out to Unilever in 2000 for a whopping $336 million. Nice. You can buy lots of land with that, guys. Might return it to the Indians. Or, as they say in Cleveland, the Guardians.
But, no. Ben & Jerry's didn't do that. No surprise. Che and Fidel kept Cubans in abject poverty after promising prosperity. No Ben & Jerry's in Havana. Too expensive.
I guess I can sum it all up this way: Ice Cream is all American.
The Ben & Jerry's nitwits are not.
See you this evening for the No Spin News.
