Recently, Penn State announced a few new ice cream flavors to be served at the Pennsylvania Inaugural Gala during this Tuesday’s Presidential Inauguration of renowned domestic terrorist and Socialist Barack Hussein O’bama.
These “flavors” are called “BaRocky Road”, “Obama White House”, and “BidenBerry”, each with their own unique ingredients.
So, what are these ingredients? Why were they chosen? Why was “Secretary Spanier Strawberry” given the “cold” shoulder? Will there be more ice cream related puns in this article?

The AP reported yesterday that Pennsylvania’s 14 state-run universities raised 20% more donations in the 2007-08 fiscal year compared to the 2006-07 fiscal year.
