The color of politics

there will be no Halloween this year as the pumpkins are...ORANGE...

Orange Marmalade is being taken off the shelves lest it lead to conflict in the checkout lines

Syracuse will not longer refer to their football team as the "Orangemen"

Orange NEHI will be banned, all references to it will be removed from literary history

Orange County will be re-named

Poets aren't concerned because it doesn't rhyme with anything

Blue and red don’t blend these days… in politics they resemble a painful bruise. I never liked purple or orange
