I thought I had seen all, heard all during this latest election year.  The airways are full of them accusing each other of dirty tricks, yet virtuously proclaiming their own innocence.  They’ve inundated the television, print, and virtual airways and now the dinner table is no longer safe.  Witness the new battlefield for political dominance, Ketchup. 

I don’t know about you but I am not making a political statement over this, going to eat Ranch Dressing for a while on my fries so I can stay out of the Ketchup Wars.
