Victory
This is getting a bit obvious:
"Attorney General John Ashcroft is hitting the road to rally support for the <b>Victory Act</b>, which would further expand his powers to go after Al Qaeda and narcoterrorists, the Daily News has learned.
Ashcroft will starting pushing the Vital Interdiction of Criminal Terrorist Organizations Act later this month in a 10-day, 20-state <b>Victory tour</b> that includes a stop in New York."

"Winston followed her down the passage. These amateur repair jobs were an almost daily irritation. <b>Victory Mansions</b> were old flats, built in 1930 or thereabouts, and were falling to pieces ...
From somewhere at the bottom of a passage the smell of roasting coffee -- real coffee, not <b>Victory Coffee</b>-- came floating out into the street. Winston paused involuntarily. For perhaps two seconds he was back in the half-forgotten world of his childhood ...
"Where can we meet?"
"<b>Victory Square</b>, near the monument."
"It's full of telescreens."
"It doesn't matter if there's a crowd" ...
Winston sat in his usual corner, gazing into an empty glass. Now and again he glanced up at a vast face which eyed him from the opposite wall. BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU, the caption said. Unbidden, a waiter came and filled his glass up with <b>Victory Gin</b> ...."
<b>George Orwell

Don't these friggin' people ever read? Or is this their idea of a sick joke?
