Livin’ the Dream

Mom and Dad went out to Safeway to buy some ice cream tonight and brought me home a surprise! That’s right! A pint of Ben and Jerry’s Americone Dream inspired by Comedy Central’s Bill O’Reilly parodist and comedian Stephen Colbert. And I’ve got to say, it was just as good as he makes it out to be on the show (though I don’t think they’ve ever actually shown him eating it…). Hmm…. “vanilla ice cream with fudge covered waffle cone pieces and a caramel swirl.” I wonder what the connotation is… fudge… waffles… caramel. Why those? Fudge covered waffle cone… could this be a metaphor for the Bush administration? Caramel swirl? Caramel? Gold? Money? Democracy? Swirl? Lost in our golden grandeur? Damn you Ben and Jerry’s! I’m not supposed to think about ice cream!
Whatever. It’s damn good. At over $3 a pint, it better be.
