And coming around the back stretch here at Pimlico is 'Go Balloons', and a half length behind is 'Sandy Pants' and 'Shove It' another length behind ...............
I can't hear Ride of the Valkyrie without thinking of Bugs Bunny. Every time I see Kerry in his bunnysuit at NASA, Valkyrie will be running through my head.
After an exhaustive investigation, I've uncovered the reason for the balloon snafu...
THE DNC FAILED TO GET A UN RESOLUTION BEFORE THE FREEING OF THE BALLOONS!
My guess is the French weren't on board.
"GO BALLOONS! NO CONFETTI!"
I also want to know why the DemocRATS are discriminating against confetti. I think before the day is out FReepers should apply for a multi-million dollar government grant to study this. Maybe we should form the NAADOC - National Association Against the Discrimination Of Confetti!

MISCHER DEEPLY SORRY FOR BALLOON RAGE
The producer of the Democratic National Convention in Boston "deeply apologized" on Friday for his exasperated, profanity-laced tirade which on worldwide TV just as Kerry ended his acceptance speech.
"I feel terrible about it, and I deeply apologize to anyone I might have offended," Hollywood heavy Don Mischer tells Saturday's LOS ANGELES TIMES.
CNN said it had received permission from Mischer to air audio from the control room from time to time to provide behind-the-scenes flavor.
But Mischer said he had no idea his control-room comments were being broadcast at the time. Mischer explains how his microphone had a switch allowing him to update the networks and media, including CNN, about schedule changes -- but that the switch was "unequivocally" in the off position during the balloon drop!
"Jesus! We need more balloons. I want all balloons to go, goddammit... What the f**k are you guys doing up there? We want more balloons coming down, more balloons. More balloons. More balloons," Mischer said over the air on CNN during Kerry's climax.
"Sound Forge"? Oh, dear, more electronics I know nothing about. Probably comes with a big, ole users manual. Ugh.
TeraaaZA looks downright scarey & JEALOUS in that pic!
