Did you hear the NPR interview with a spokeswoman for Heinz ketchup? Apparently Bush's folks are spending some of their campaign money to make a product that is to compete with Heinz Ketchup during this political season. Some kind of "All American Ketchup." They're trying to take on Teresa Heinz's late-husband's family name as an opponent. The Heinz family no longer has any control over the corporation, and though the name has a Germanic sounding ring to it it is an entirely American company (and perhaps the Bushites are playing on T. Heinz' accent, even though she's from Mozambique). Leave it to Dubya to one-up Ronnie Reagan and once again turn ketchup into a political issue.
