Wondering what I meant by “Flower Boy” last night? Take a close look at this photo of John Kerry, fresh from a romp in the snow. What’s up with that huge yellow daisy flower zipper pull attached to his vest? Is it some kind of secret sign? A gift from his wife? An anachronistically girlish symbol of support for homosexual unions? An apparel-based reference to his days among the flower children? Nothing about it on Google (update: well, there’s something now, eh?). The related AxMe thread offers some possibilities: it’s not a ski pass, but perhaps Kerry hired Bob the Angry Flower as policy advisor.
Update: Hinderaker notices the flower too, and Hugh Hewitt links it, saying, “Just the man to instill fear in the hearts of our enemies.”
Instapundit is on it and all over it.
Don’t look at me, I’m for Sharpton. All the way. Woo yeah.
Update: Those of you looking for Kerry’s football catch, here.

It’s really a toss-up between this photo and the “Kerry Tries To Catch a Football, But Fails Miserably Because of His Utter Lack of Hand-eye Coordination.”

At least he’s not the only human being on Earth who’s too clumsy to operate a Segway without falling on his ass.
how do you know Segways are easy to drive? Ever been on one?
Me neither.
After the first 5 seconds of trying to balance… the segway is really, really easy to ride. You just have to realize that if you try to balance on your own, you end up fighting the thing and it doesn’t work.
There’s some lesson in there about liberal policies and messing with markets…
I understand its pretty hard to operate a Segway that hasn’t been turned on!

That might be too obtuse a comment for poor Hesiod: the Segway the President fell from was not turned on… no juice, no self balance.. OK?
Both my son (12) and daughter (9) were tooling around in under a minute on a Segway. I tried it too. It is really easy.

What do you do when the candidate you support is widely perceived as arrogant, aloof, and downright rude? You need to say stuff like this: …..[A]s the crowd dispersed and the band packed up, he spoke for 28 minutes more…
