John Kerry's campaign has been a font of slogans and catch phrases, but few of them have caught on - even with him.
Early on he offered a "better set of choices," then said he would make America "safer, stronger, more secure." Last September he found the "courage to do what's right for America." In November he declared himself "the real deal" and dared President George W. Bush to "bring it on." In March he promised "change starts here," in April he vowed to "build a stronger America," and in early May he touted his "lifetime of service and strength."

I'm wondering what America it was - in 1938 - that Langston Hughes wanted to return to. The America of slavery?
Is that an actual poem - or part of one - by Hughes?
Don't know where the body came from, but that unflushed head has to be from Kerry's old fast boat.
"The Dead Zone" was a great book. Movie wasn't too bad either.
Very funny.
Best I could think up "Eat More Brie"
Maybe, but I doubt he got much for both.
I'm telling you folks right now, though, if Kerry gets elected then I'm flying my flag upside down in defeat for as long as he's in office.
I don't know, but he wrote like one.
Makes him a brother to John F-ing Kerry, a good prospect for his VP (dead or alive), and a poster child for the Democrat socialist Congress (including the Rhinos), and particularly the "black cauci".
Post 60 is from his poem linked below, I left the title out.
Listen, Christ,
You did alright in your day, I reckon
But that day's gone now.
They ghosted you up a swell story, too,
Called it Bible
But it's dead now,
The popes and the preachers've
Made too much money from it.
They've sold you to too many
Kings, generals, robbers, and killers
Even to the Tzar and the Cossacks,
Even to Rockefeller's Church,
Even to THE SATURDAY EVENING POST.
You ain't no good no more.
They've pawned you
Till you've done wore out.
Goodbye,
Christ Jesus Lord God Jehova,
Beat it on away from here now.
Make way for a new guy with no religion at all
A real guy named
Marx Communist Lenin Peasant Stalin Worker ME
I said, ME!
Go ahead on now,
You're getting in the way of things, Lord.
And please take Saint Ghandi with you when you go,
And Saint Pope Pius,
And Saint Aimee McPherson,
And big black Saint Becton
Of the Consecrated Dime.
And step on the gas, Christ!
Move!
Don't be so slow about movin?
The world is mine from now on
And nobody's gonna sell ME
To a king, or a general,
Or a millionaire.
Published in Negro Worker (Nov.-Dec. 1932)
That's what he gets for being so eager, that man I loathe.
Sadly, I think Amerika is exactly what he wants.
Kerry is a very loatheable person.
"Harlem" by Langston Hughes, or as I will now rename it, "Requiem for the Democratic Party":
What happens to a dream deferred?
Does it dry up
like a raisin in the sun?
Or fester like a sore--
And then run?
Does it stink like rotten meat?
Or crust and sugar over--
like a syrupy sweet?
Maybe it just sags
like a heavy load.
Or does it explode?
can you saykiss my ass jkerry
He can always divorce Terresa and marry Hillary....and promise another co-presidency
