Hi Christine: The results are in and ... Reality wins: Salsa and ketchup "In the early '80s, the Ronald Reagan Agriculture Department tried to label ketchup a vegetable for school lunch programs, just as the Clinton Ag people have done with salsa," notes Raoul Lowery Contreras, a journalist and talk-show host in San Diego. "Looking at a ketchup label, I find the only differences between ketchup and salsa are that ketchup doesn't have chile and has corn syrup," Mr. Contreras said in an opinion piece in the Philadelphia Inquirer. "Despite these tiny differences, the Reagan administration was keelhauled and lambasted all over the map by the American liberal, educational and child-protection establishments. 'Criminal' was but one of the milder epithets hurled at what the disgraced former Democrat muckety-muck, Clark Clifford, referred to as 'the amiable dunce,' Ronald Reagan. "The furor lasted and lasted and lasted. The furor was silly then, and the proof is this very salsa announcement." washtimes.com
