Ben & Jerry's new flavor

Apparently Ben & Jerry's has invented a new ice cream flavour in honour of the new American president, it's called "Yes Pecan", a play on words of Obama's slogan "Yes We Can".

According to Keith Olbermann on MSNBC's Countdown -- one of my favourite shows on TV -- they are not considering a new flavour named after George W. Bush's tenure in the White House. I would say W.'s presidency, but let's be real: he wasn't in charge, Cheney, Rove and Rumsfeld ran the show.

Here are Countdown's fictitious and hilarious Dubya-inspired ice cream flavours:

Abu Grape
Nut 'N' Accomplished
Iraqi Road
Wire Tap-ioca
Im-Peach Cobbler
Im-Peach Mint
Housing Crunch
Credit Crunch
Chunky Monkey-In-Chief (now a bit uncomfortable, given the recent New York Post cartoon and Countdown's response to the ensuing scandal)
W.M.D.-Licious
Heckuva Job Brownie
Grape Depression
I Broke the Law and Am Responsible For the Deaths of Thousands, WITH NUTS!

Thanks for a great show, Keith!
