What are Obama Fingers? I'm almost afraid to ask!

Were they called Bush Fingers prior to the 2008 US elections?


They're breaded frozen chicken strips (with curry dip!) sold at certain German grocery stores.

There was a car from Vauxhall which in England was called Nova.
This name was not considered suitable for Spanish-speaking countries. I agree!!

Chevy Nova May 14, 2009

In the seventies General Motors produced the Chevrolet Nova. My father bought its sister model, the Pontiac Ventura, our first new car, in 1974.
