Tonight there are many good speakers. Tom Daschle, Dick Gephardt and the followingn three names of note:
First is Chris Heinz, Stepson of John Kerry. Stupid prick. If I wasn't going to boycott Heinz Ketchup, now I am. If this guy says anything about Bush or Republicans, let the boycott begin.
Teresa Heinz Kerry, Wife of John Kerry. Fitting she goes before The Swimmer on the slate, since she hates him. How fitting a flip flopper married a flip flopper.
| And in my mind, Ted Kennedy, U.S. Senator from Massachusetts is the headliner. In order to experience the convention as Ted does I will drink an entire bottle of Banker's Club Gin, and then drive my car into the lake. |
"I said two olives in my martini, dammit!!"
|
"and then drive my car into the lake."
... with my girlfriend in it.

Posted by: Tom at July 29, 2004 08:06 AMWe would like to correct misrepresentations in Bob Parks' column on August 2.
First, in accordance with its corporate governance policies, H. J. Heinz Company is a publicly traded corporation with a diverse shareholder base of both individuals and institutions comprising Republicans, Democrats and Independents alike. Neither Mrs. Teresa Heinz Kerry nor Senator John Kerry nor any of the Heinz trusts or endowments - either individually or collectively - holds a significant percentage of shares of the H.J. Heinz Company. (Their current holdings are under 4 percent.) No Heinz family member is involved in the management or board of the H. J. Heinz Company. They have no involvement in the Heinz ketchup business or any of the company's other brands or products.
Second, 60% of the sales of the H.J. Heinz Company are outside the United States. The company accommodates those customers by providing facilities closer to those markets and maintains a number of overseas facilities that provide products for consumers in those markets. This allows Heinz to pack the freshest ingredients, tailor its recipes to local tastes and deliver the final products in a timely and efficient manner. In the United States, Heinz makes its flagship ketchup in factories in Fremont, Ohio; Muscatine, Iowa; and Stockton, California.
Sincerely,
Debora S. Foster
Vice President
Corporate Communications
H. J. Heinz Company
600 Grant Street
Pittsburgh, PA 15219
Ms. Foster failed to counter any of the points I made in my column. If distance from Teresa is what Heinz seeks, I sympathize.
