#1 And in other news: Catepillar demands ISM stops sending impressionable young Marxists to their deaths.

#2 If I was Caterpiller, I'd let the union factory workers off for the day, and explain to them that a bunch of whacked lefty trust-fund idjits are gonna be protesting their work product, and trying to put the company out of business..... heh heh

#3 Caterpiller should rename the company Flatterpiller just for spite.

#4 Maybe there should be a Caterpillar parade of fine products around their plant on that day...just a thought! Maybe there can be a whole convent of St. Pancakes!

#5 Why exactly are we referring to pancakes? Wouldn't matzot be more appropriate?

#7 If this story gets legs, Cat is going to get a ton of free advertising. They also probably get royalties for the hats. I want one for Fathers' Day.

#8 Ah, Craig, Cindy, and Lizzy Corrie. There's a sucker born every minute and three to replace her.

#9 Should we wish them a crushing defeat?

#10 Excavation is the sincerest form of flattening.

#11 I have a pair of steel-toe boots that I wear when putting around on my motorcycle that say CAT on them. Maybe I should paint Rachel Corrie's name over the yellow sole.

Bulldozer crushes all
Bulldozer feeds upon the weaker as they fall

#14 Anyone else but me notice the "used caterpillar parts" google ads on the side......

#15 Maybe we could get some IHOP ads too.

#16 Desert Blondie...the ads I see are all for crocheted afghans and throw pillows...

#17 How about an ad for this movie?

#18 Just when you thought they couldn't get any stupider!

#19 Caterpillar should run with this for the publicity.

Greet them warmly and serve them a nice hot breakfast of pancakes.

#20 Seafarious - maybe the ads are different depending on where you're at. Every time I pull up this article here in Phoenix it shows ads for used Caterpillar parts. But IHOP or Bisquick would work for me, too! ;)
