Mundane: Sure  
Pointless: Check  
Stuff: Yeah  
I Must Share: No one else has yet? (_Looks up @ office clock and asks to himself, 'No thread on this yet!?!_)

Not much to say other than I love this photo of [John Kerry in a NASA Sterile Suit](http://public.fotki.com/JohnBuckLINY/work_stuff/bubble_boy_ny_daily_news.html)

The front page of the morning editions of the NYC tabloids today (i.e. prior to reports of the Clintons’ speeches in Boston & the fact they looked like they were estranged) had headlines like:

**BUBBLE BOY** - Where Kerry was compared to a Woody Allen in his sperm cell suit  
and  
**BOSTON, WE HAVE A PROBLEM!** - Where at least the took the balanced approach of showing (the DNC released) photo of Bush in a Polka Dot Kimono.

I just love the political season.

Ah, now here’s where the GOP gets to the important issues that will affect American lives; whether Kerry will look as stupid as Dukakis did in the tank.
