Choose Heinz and you're supporting Teresa Heinz and her liberal causes, such as Kerry for President.

W Ketchup would like to thank President Reagan for his selfless service to this nation. Reagan won the Cold War, let private enterprise flourish, and most of all made Americans proud to be Americans again.

As I've mentionned before, I think we might be looking at the death of satire for a while.

I'm glad you added the "for a while." As I've probably mentioned before, I think satire's like the novel, or rock 'n' roll, or literacy itself, in that people are always pronouncing it dead only to see it come to life again, phoenix-fashion.

SPARTANBURG, SC (Talon News) -- An unexpected ketchup war has erupted between two companies marketing alternative versions of ketchup to conservative, Republican consumers.

Talon News reported last week on W Ketchup (web site) which actively markets its product to people who "don't support Democrats."

But in an open letter, another alternative ketchup known as Bush Country Ketchup (web site has openly challenged W Ketchup to clarify its ideological devotion.

"We can no longer allow W Ketchup to masquerade as a conservative condiment and continue to market itself to our fellow Republicans without answering several troubling questions that have come to light since its emergence in mid-June," remarked Bush Country Ketchup co-founder and volunteer press secretary for a Congressional candidate Patrick Spero, whose slogan is "Making sure Kerry won't ketchup to W."

Spero told Talon News that he was behind a petition drive to keep the controversial CBS mini-series against Ronald Reagan from reaching the air last November during sweeps week. He was also a prominent contributor to www.blogsforbush.com before founding Bush Country Ketchup.

Spero said there are several pieces of "conflicting information" on the W Ketchup web site as well as from W Ketchup founder Bill Zachary that have them "greatly concerned."

For example, Spero points out a quote from a Washington Times article last month where Zachary characterizes his political philosophy as "middle-of-the road" and claims he is "non-partisan."

"The avoidance of any expressions of support for the reelection of President Bush in Zachary's statements to the media or on W's web site spurred Bush Country Ketchup to question W's true loyalties," Spero said.

"Is W Ketchup a conservative or nonpartisan condiment? Are you (Zachary) and all of your investors Republicans? If not, isn't it disingenuous to market to conservatives and imply that you share their views?" inquired Spero.

I just can't tell anymore, or it takes too much work to find out definitively, one way or the other. It's still all funny though, but in a "humanity is doomed" kind of way.

W ketchup is being marketed as a condiment alternative for Republicans who don’t want to patronize Heinz (as in Teresa Heinz-Kerry), but now the group that heads up W Hotels has sent cease and desist letters to the companies selling the ketchup and other W goodies. “Although your product line is an amusing part of the election campaign,” reads the letters, “we ask that you respect the rights of the existing W trademark” and stop selling W products.
