JUICED-UP 'NAM VET THREATENS VIOLENCE

Run, everybody! Run for your lives! John Kerry is in a fighting mood:

"Let me tell you something, these folks have got me in fighting mood," Kerry said of rival President Bush's campaign. "When I get in a fighting mood towards the end of September and towards the beginning of October, I think you know what happens here in Massachusetts."

Yes; the Red Sox lose. Brawlin' John seems to have inspired his fellow Democrats:

Politics in Gainesville turned rough and tumble Thursday night when, police say, a social behavior sciences instructor - a Democrat - punched the chairman of the Alachua County Republican Executive Committee in the face.

David Philip McCally, 55, of Gainesville faces misdemeanor battery and criminal mischief charges after he was accused of hitting both committee chairman Travis Horn, 32, and a life-sized, cardboard cutout of President George Bush.

Via reader Scott S. Here’s more tough talk from juicy John:

"I feel those October juices flowing," Kerry said. "And I've been at this for a while and when those juices get flowing, I feel good. Let me tell you, we feel it happening."

We are left to wonder, along with Don Imus ... what the hell is Kerry talking about?

If his juices be anything like that picture of his old lady the other day, looking WAY too much like a young Wicked Witch of the West, show me punching up some buttons to depress JPEGs on this here PC...

'a social behavior sciences instructor"
So that's what Mark Latham is.

It's bad enough I have to take this crap from my Yankee-loving neighbor. But, "Red Sox lose" from the other side of the world?

OK, the gloves are off. Magpies, a curse be upon you. You will never play in a World Series again. So there.

Yea, I was in Knapp's Diner last night, and damn right the juices were flowing. Heinz 57 Sauce on my rather tender sirloin steak -- Friday night special, $8.95 for an eight-ouncer.

More incoherent by the day

I think that he is anticipating the delivery of a new hamster wheel in October. All done in khaki equipped with nightvision and stealth technology for those covert operations behind enemy lines *cough* Cambodia *cough*.

Posted by: Rob at September 19, 2004 at 09:00 PM

I think he has been hanging around Bill Clinton too much, what with all the public 'juices' references and all...

social behaviour sciences?

Hey we Aussies can do better:

here's Social Ecology:

http://www.uws.edu.au/about/acadorg/caess/ssell

"Social Ecology is an emerging meta-discipline that provides a sophisticated and critical framework for the generation of holistic theory, deep understanding, and effective, responsible action. It derives its theory and direction from applied philosophy (critical reason, ethics, world-views, imagination, gender awareness), personal experience (postulation, action, reflection, contemplation) and diverse sources and systems of disciplinary, cultural and contextual knowledge (particularly ecological thinking, and 'spirituality'). Social ecology emphasises actions and reflective practice that integrate personal, social, political and environmental concerns and possibilities..."

I reckon the graduates from this Govt funded college course ought to be watched by ASIO, they do seem to aim at suspiciously vague 'action' for 'social change'...

Om,

Do you realize that that second sentence contains 38 words and says absolutely fucking nothing? I'm sure you did.

Posted by: David Crawford at September 19, 2004 at 10:01 PM

Hey go and read the rest, as they say.

Sorry I'm not up with the link thing.

You won't know whether to laugh, cry or be very very afraid...

"When I get in a fighting mood towards the end of September and towards the beginning of October, I think you know what happens here in Massachusetts."

Yes, John, we do. You go and ask Jacques, Gerhard, and Kofi if it's okay to fight back--just like the other ten months of the year.

"I feel those October juices flowing"

Leave it to Kerry's sap to run counter to nature. Perhaps he loses his foliage every spring.

Posted by: hemispherics at September 19, 2004 at 10:50 PM

"I feel those October juices flowing."

Uh-oh. Does he mean the 1917 Communist revolution juices or the Dr. Strangelove "Purity of Essence" kind? Either way, I'm afraid for his sanity.

Posted by: Peter Ness at September 19, 2004 at 11:26 PM

Kerrys doing his best to use as many words as possible whilst containing absolutely no meaning.

Perhaps hes hoping that an avalanche of words will confuse voters into thinking theres meaning within?

Will the ploy work? ---- Not so far judging from the polls.

Not to mention the rather monotonial delivery will best appeal to previously dead voters.

Oh, for God's sake. Look, the man is obviously gay, he just doesn't know how to come out and say it.

Sounds like a great course. I was reading through the description and foun d t hi s inter esti ng s ecttt ion

His juices won't start flowing until October because you have to take Cialis for a while until the stuff kicks in... but let me get this straight: this now is how John Kerry sounds off medication?!

a social behavior sciences instructor

I hope the good perfesser awarded himself an "F" in his own class.

I thought the media had W pegged as the illiterate one.

Posted by: Retread at September 20, 2004 at 03:38 AM

John Kerry wouldn't know juice if he was run over by a Tropicana tanker truck.

Posted by: Rebecca at September 20, 2004 at 03:50 AM

"I feel those October juices flowing"

The last time Kerry felt the juices flowing, Teresa got on her private jet and got out of town.

Posted by: pajama_jihad at September 20, 2004 at 04:07 AM

Does this mean I'm likely to get shot in the back? I'm already dropping the rocket launcher and changing out of my loincloth.
Oops, sorry, those were the January juices that got that kid killed, not the October juices.

Posted by: Diggs at September 20, 2004 at 04:18 AM

Maybe Kerry means that he'll be distributing packets of Tang as a Halloween treat?

Anybody who hasn't followed the link to the Gainesville story should do so -- it's hilarious. Reading between the lines, it would seem the Republican "victim" did a fair job of defending himself, but the "social behavioral sciences" doofus was the only one arrested because the police themselves witnessed the fracas and identified him as the aggressor. The assault on the cardboard cut-out was priceless.

Btw -- the "Social Ecology" description is pure comedy gold.

Posted by: Mike at September 20, 2004 at 05:44 AM

a Democrat - punched the chairman of the Alachua County Republican Executive Committee in the face.

Why can't the Right be as "tolerant" as this?

It's been a great week for stories of the outrages of the Left.

Posted by: billman at September 20, 2004 at 09:17 AM

I doubt one has to wade too far into the DU fever swamps to find members of the Koolaid Krew crowing about this assault.

You see, when 'progressives' punch someone, it's resistance; when a conservative punches someone - hell, if a police officer ARRESTS someone - it's oppression.

Geddit?

October juices. Heh, wonder what ole John Boy is talking about seeing as he had his prostate removed.

Posted by: Joe Bagadonuts at September 20, 2004 at 09:57 AM

Just as well it's the current hopeful rather than the last occupant of the President's chair whose juices are flowing- last time the cleaning bill blew out the budget defecit.

Posted by: Habib at September 20, 2004 at 11:28 AM

What is it with these Democrats? Everything they say is gibberish. Clinton's speeches were gibberish too, but at least he delivered the words in a way that they SOUNDED rational.

Posted by: chuck at September 20, 2004 at 03:35 PM

Let's leave Kerry to dribble in private.

Posted by: Sheriff at September 20, 2004 at 03:56 PM

I think deer hunting season begins in October. Expect Kerry to start crawling lower and lower for votes.

Being a cartoonist, I took the liberty of providing a visual representation of Tim Blair's amusing post -- you can check it out here.
