U.S. Democratic presidential candidate John F. Kerry is surrounded by staff as he delivers a speech
at a night time political rally in Zanesville, Ohio, July 31, 2004. Kerry is the first presidential candidate to
come out of his nominating convention with a negative impact on his poll ratings since George McGovern,
for whose 1972 campaign Kerry once worked. McGovern recently advised Kerry not to deliberately postpone
his own nomination as that would be "the worst idea since I delayed my 1972 acceptance speech until 2 a.m.,
when all the voters were asleep." McGovern went on to lose 49 states, all but Massachusetts. REUTERS/Jim Young

Unreal---something's up. You know your Reuters. The caption isn't theirs. It's the posters own. It's a goodun, no question, but it would be better it it actually had the circulation of Reuters.

It now says: The Reuters caption was NEVER the caption in this post.
Look at the post with a critical eye and there are hints all over the place.

John Kerry shows that, before he went into politics, he was the model for KenTM by Mattel.

I've been loving Reuters lately. Turns out they really are anti-American Euroweenies with no more love for John Kerry than George W. Bush. Some of the "news" coverage of Kerry lately has been just brutal.

If Kerry wants to have a chance, he better start wearing turtle neck sweaters to hide the heavy wrinkles in his neck and hide Tereeeeeesa away altogher. The more people look at this bunch the more they are going to say to themselves, do I really want to look at these two for four years?

Has anyone noticed that the media are running all of these unusual, very dramatic pics of Kerry? It's as if they are trying to cast him in some magical glow. I have a theory that camerapersons HATE John Kerry. I know some behind-the-scenes people at the Airport and even the democrats absolutely despise the man. He makes a point of being late to everything, leaving leaving at unschedualed times, and switching his schedual at the drop of a hat.
One person who's a lifelong Democrat (I won't say who but a very prominent person) was absolutely livid and swore NEVER to vote for Kerry. The person had tickets to see Randy Johnson throw his 4,000th career strikeout, but instead had to watch Kerry get into a whim and throw a football on the tarmac for 2 hours. "And he was SO BAD AT IT!!!"
Here's a guy with a plane the size of a football field, tying up air traffic at the 5th busiest airport in the US so he can have a lame photo-op. I guarantee that any photographers there did NOT appreciate sitting on the 100 degree plus Arizona asphalt snapping hamster boy's picture.

Suddenly, the mediocre, dorky Massachusetts, presidential candidate staggered backwards. A glowing ball of fire hovered in front of him and suddenly struck him with a bolt of lightening. The wacky Democrats around the stage stumbled overthemselves as they backed away in horror. For five long seconds, Kerry's body writhed as the sparks travelled around his frail frame. Then instantly the lightening stopped and the fireball flew away into the sky and disappeared.
"Contact has been made!" Kerry said with a voice that was suddenly much deeper and tv announcer-like. The audience stopped running away and stared in awe, because was levitating 3 feet above the stage floor.
"I am Captain Ramorfog of the planet Krispix! The puny lillylivered earthling whose body I now occupy could not win an election to save his life, but with his body I will bring you victory in your pathetic presidential election. Then, I will give you universal health care, jobs for life, and enslave all of the earth!!!!"
There was a brief moment of silence, but it was soon broken by a growing torrent of applause. Kerry-Ramorfog grimaced menacingly.
Moral: Anything can happen between now and November, even if your opponent is an ineffectual Massachusetts Democrat jerk.
