I've never seen an apple that color. It appears more like olive drab. An old color from about twenty years ago.

That makes sense though. So was the red suit she wore on Tuesday night and the hairstyle is from the early 1950's, only hers is unkempt. A bush run through it backstage would have done wonders, since she apparently can't afford a proper hairstylist. /sarcasm.

The nasty green color was called "avacado green" back in the 70's. We are meant to be mentally transported back to Kerry's glory years by simply seeing it.

Yup, all my kitchen appliances were that color.

Promises of a Democratic convention windfall now seem as empty as Boston's streets this week to many Hub merchants, restaurants, tourist sites and small businesses.

``Never in the 33 years we've been here have we seen anything like it,'' said George George, co-owner of the Albany Sandwich Shop in the South End, who said his business this week is off by as much as 50 percent. ``It's like a snowstorm in the middle of summer, only in a snowstorm we get the plow drivers.''

Through all but the last day of the four-day convention, the event has not been a boon, interviews with dozens of Hub businesses revealed. In fact, many say they've lost out as residents and workers skipped town and delegates ate for free at high-end parties.

Many restaurant owners double-ordered produce and other supplies last week with the expectation that deliveries would be blocked and convention traffic would quickly leave them with nothing to serve.

Instead, they say, refrigerators are overstocked, delivery trucks are managing with few problems and customer traffic has slowed to a trickle as the convention sucks up all the action like a corporate sponge

How 'bout Army fatigue green, before uniforms went camo. Sort of reminiscent of the shirt Kerry wore in his VVAW marches in DC.

I was going to guess the color was poll tested and played well for moderates, otherwise I haven't a clue!

I see Lieberman is going to speak today.

I was referring to the Edwards' daughter, a 22 yr old, made up to look like JFKs young wife when he ran for president in 1960.

Using a small child as a prop.

He almost named her Caroline in anticipation of the campaign.

Michael Medved is calling this child abuse right now as I type.

That's definitely not paprika. That looks more like pumpkin to me.
