March 29, 2004A Ray of Hope
My main reason for optimism, vis a vis the November election, is John Kerry. You probably remember his snowboarding vacation, which we posted a photo or two of last week. But Mrs. Rocket called my attention to this picture, which I hadn't seen:
Mrs. Rocket pointed out a detail which had escaped my fashion-oblivious notice, namely, the yellow flower-power zipper pull. The whole look, of course, is appalling: the vest, the gloves, the botox. It is Mrs. Rocket's opinion that the American people will not elect as President a man who wears a vest with a flower power zipper pull.
I think she may be right.
UPDATE: A reader adds: "Thanks for posting that picture of Kerry today. Right now the French are pursing their lips and narrowing their eyes in shrewd appraisal: 'Daisy zipper pull, snowboard with mural graphics, sunglasses hanging from fleece shirt, thin vest-like outer garment. Yes. Clearly this man is the true Alpha Weenie.'''
MORE: A reader from Kentucky writes: "I think I shall be ill. My niece has a flower just like that one. She's seven."
HUGH HEWITT writes: "Just the man to instill fear in the hearts of our enemies."
STILL MORE: Another reader thinks the photo is very funny, but wonders whether the daisy might have been Photoshopped into it. Fear not; the photo is straight from the Associated Press. Her question, though, did cause me to run a search for all photos of Kerry with his snowboard. And it appears that this picture is the only one that shows the flower-power zipper pull. I infer from this that shortly after the photo was taken, a horrified aide noticed the flower and removed it from Kerry's get-up. Leaving only the sunglasses, the vest, the gloves, the board itself and the botox as evidence of Kerry's Alpha Weenie status.

We had the decal on the back of my mothers car circa 1970. My father would have none of it though. The flower and Kerry's propensity for yellow triggered this memory.

The oldest person I saw snowboarding was maybe 16 years old. All us oldsters were skiing. (Snowboarders were pretty rude too - cutting people off, cursing, etc.) Yeah, that describes the kind of crowd I was seeing on snowboards back then ...
.... all Kerry's sports require lots of expensive and flashy equipment - snowboard, windsurfer, high tech alloy bike, fancy clothes of all kinds (complete with daisy zipper pulls . . . ) Is he showing off his ability to purchase lots of high-end equipment, or what?
Oh, don't let all that stuff fool ya ! He's really for the little guy, ya know ?

NOT !!! He is a typical Class Warfare, RICH "I'm lookin' out for the little guy" PHONEY LIAR !!

You said: OMG. The man is a total putz.
my 10yr old is into the flower power dodads but not her twin brother,geesh. like i said what a putz.
But who among us does not enjoy flower power? (Also, cool comment re your twins, I have boy/girl twins, 12 years old, and even my DAUGHTER wouldn't wear a zipper pull like that)

we are truely blessed when twins are among us arent we!
my daughter just loves stamping but i cant get into it so i go along and let her enjoy the parties and just write the check at the end.this last time she did pick out some of those flower power stamps, but there is no way she would have a zipper pull like that either!:) it looks utterly tactless for a sixty yr/old to run around with his flower power hanging out all over the place!!!

And I'd forgotten about that time he went pheasant (peasant?) hunting in Davenport Iowa before the caucuses -- with an orange vest from K Mart and a borrowed $15,000 shotgun (borrowed - because it was about 4 inches too short in the stock - would have beat the heck out of him if he'd actually fired the thing . . . )

Does anyone believe that John "I don't fall" Kerry's shoulder surgery is from anything but "hotdogging" for the cameras like a teenager?
Kerry, 60, tore part of his right rotator cuff in January when he wrenched the shoulder while bracing himself as his campaign bus came to an abrupt stop in Iowa.
Yeah, right.
