"Ice Cream Entrepreneur Totes Bush Effigy"

SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) - Call it the burning Bush. The co-founder of Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream is on the road, towing a 12-foot-tall effigy of President Bush with fake flames shooting out of the pants.

Ben Cohen says it's an acceptable way to point out what he calls the president's lies.

"In a polite society, you don't go up to a person and look at them in the face and say, 'You're a liar,'" Cohen said in a telephone interview before arriving in Spokane, the next stop on the Pants on Fire Tour.

"We think it's a lot more dignified and there's a lot more decorum to say, 'Excuse me sir, your pants are getting a little warm, don't you think?'" Cohen said.

7. And no Costco, no Hollywood movies
no comedy, no music on the radio (except C&W), no television (except Faux), no Internet (Al gore invention), no College.

Freepers hate everything.

9. I thought Ben and Jerry's was sold.
If not, I expect Safeway to ban their ice cream soon.
