I find it approbiate for the President to use Kerry's photo op picture of him (Kerry) riding on a borrowed Harley for his ad, since French looking candidate John F. Kerry (Vietnam Veteran) uses President Bush's photo op picure of his landing on the USS Lincoln in his political ad.

ANYthing he likes. But it's green, of course. And likely NOT a Kawasaki.

Back inb the mid-1960s, when the Chicago/Milwaukee Outlaws was a regional club just then beginning to expand into Louisville and Florida and other Southern venues, a couple of their chapters had localized versions of the then-popular 1964 hit by the Kingsmen entitled, simply enough, Jolly Green Giant. Though then a teenager, I got along with them well enough, maybe in part because of the green Indian 74" Chief I was riding back then. But I think my next one will be blue, maybe black or Indian Red.

In duh valley of duh jolly (ho-ho-ho) Wow!
Heard about the Jolly Green Giant (potatoes).
He's so big and mean (artichoke hearts)
He stands there laughing with his hands on his hips
And then he hits you with a can of beans

He lives down here in his valley (Brussels sprouts).
The cat stands tall and green (spinach)
Well, he ain't no prize, and there's no women his size,
And that's why the cat's so mean
One day he left his valley pad.
I mean to say, this cat was mad
Now listen 'round, he wasn't gone long and then he ran into an Amazon
Well, this changed his whole complexion (broccoli).
He had never seen such a beautiful sight (corn)
Well, he looked at her and she looked at him
And she almost passed out from fright
He looked at her, thought, "what a dilly!"
He touched her once; she slapped him silly
This was something he had never sensed.
He looked at her as she commenced
Now listen, pal, this ain't no fluke.
"I can't see goin' with a big green kook"

You've heard about the Jolly Green Giant (eggplant).
Don't let his troubles cross your mind (celery stalks)
He couldn't get Sally, so went back to his valley,
The cat was color-blind. (carrots) (canned beans)

(The Jolly Green Giant song is based on the Olympics'
"Big Boy Pete", by Don Harris and Dewey Terry;
parody lyrics by Lynn Easton)
