Thatcher vs. Clinton
Did you know that Lady Margaret Thatcher helped invent soft-serve ice cream? This Kim Jong-Il esque fact is brought to you by none other than Wikipedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margaret_Thatcher by way of Slate. Yes, for those of you too lazy to read the entire article, as a chemist in the 1950's, she was part of a team which developed the first soft frozen ice cream.
This led to many ruminations, some of them having to do with Hillary. For the life of me I shall never understand WHY anyone admires Hillary, who has yet to accomplish anything remarkable in her life. Her main achievement, from what I can tell, is to have married someone who she managed to have elected governor and then President, and while I think that most people harbour indistinctly warmish feelings towards Laura Bush, who has done the same things, few people can be said to particularly Admire her. I read somewhere that women particularly have admiration for so-called "strong" women- - - I agree that Hillary comes across as a beeyotch on wheels- she always looks grim and tight-lipped and never seems to laugh honestly- but what exactly makes her strong I do not know. She clung to her husband like a lamprey and pushed him forward and then came up with Hillarycare, and we can all be thankful THAT was soundly defeated. And Hillary may be a Senator, but she didn't make it there by herself, and she hasn't done anything wonderful - - - I just don't get it.
At any rate, the culmination of this was the idea that before 2008, and while Lady Thatcher is still alive, someone, anyone who is still a Real Conservative should put out a tshirt depicting Thatcher and Ms. Clinton boxing on the front, and a table listing their various accomplishments. (This was supposed to appear as a table, but didn't and I don't feel like reformatting it. You should get the point anyway.)

Once again you have been put under a spell by the magic wand of misinformation. Margaret Thatcher most definetly did not invent soft-serve ice cream. Rather it was J.F. McCullogh (better known as Grandpa) and his son Alex McCullogh in 1938. This led to the opening of the first Dairy Queens across America. You may view my CREDIBLE source at http://whatscookingamerica.net/History/IceCream/IceCreamHistory.htm as well as a discussion forum at
http://www.exisle.net/mb/lofiversion/index.php/t30968.html in which Orpheus squash this theory proposed by Goat Curry.
