It is called Stephen Colbert's Americone Dream, subtitled "The Sweet Taste of Liberty in Your Mouth." It is vanilla (naturally!) with fudge-covered waffle cone pieces and caramel. Sounds like it's right up my alley! Diet? What diet?

Here's an excerpt from the article, in case the link drops:

The Vermont-based ice-cream maker is known for naming its flavors after people such as Jerry Garcia, Wavy Gravy and the band Phish — which Colbert sees as a political bias.

"I'm not afraid to say it. Dessert has a well-known liberal agenda," Colbert said in a statement. "What I hope to do with this ice cream is bring some balance back to the freezer case."

BTW, I just want you to know that I emailed this article to The Clam, after which I got a phone call from her telling me I'd been "scooped" (isn't she funny?) by regular reader DJ, who sent the article to her, suggesting she send it to me.

Great minds think alike, DJ!!!
