A friend recently pointed me in the direction of this great new ice cream company starting up in the Washington D.C./Virginia area. Along the lines of "W" Ketchup (which I proudly used during the 2004 election) comes the Star-Spangled Ice Cream Company. Using such great slogans as "Sweet Taste of Freedom" and "Ice Cream with a Conservative Flavor", the company donates 10% of what they make to the Freedom Alliance Scholarship Fund--which was founded by Col. Ollie North.

Just selling regular ice cream and donating the profits to charity wouldn't be all that special. The coolest thing about the ice cream (excuse the pun) are the names of the flavors: "Iraqi Road"; "Smaller GovernMint"; "Gun Nut" (which was endorsed by Ted Nugent); and my personal favorite, "I hate the French Vanilla." The website also lists a number of other flavors currently in development, such as "RushMallow"; "Cherry Falwell"; "Orange Alert Sherbert"; and "Choc & Awe."

Of course, I am totally trying to get my hands on a pint... but right now the only way to get them in Western PA is to order 6 pints at a time. The company is expanding their products into retail stores in the eastern United States, so keep a look-out.
