Would You Like Sprinkles On Your Klan Hood?

Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream has long had a left-wing, socialist vibe to it, but when did ice cream stores in general really embrace radical chic?

During the summer of 2010, Doug Powers spotted the vacationing President Obama emerging from an ice cream store with a rather disquieting logo:

No doubt, Leonard Bernstein stopped by there regularly. But for old school radical chic, there’s the perception given off inadvertently by this shop, in a story that was catnip to the Drudge Report:

“Once and for all, people, it’s an ice cream cone.” But still, whatever flavors the shop offers, we’re assuming that Woodrow Wilson would only have bought vanilla.

Nothing more painful than seeing aging hipsters. Except those who get taken in by their own Alinsky-ite rules.

    Really, how stupid can people get? When the hell did the KKK ride dressed like a sugar cone? Damn, get an effing life already.

    I was once at the Oakland Coliseum watching an A’s game, second tier, I think. Some dweb in front of me with a front row seat against the railing was scoring the game but would write it out big on poster paper and tap it to the railing in front of him so the world could see.

    Somehow, the players were scored as three capital “K”s in a row.

    Guess what? A security guard soon appeared and told the dweb to pull down his scoring poster. There were complaints that he had posted a sign for the Ku Klux Klan.
