Nude cyclists are peddling threadbare ideas (by Mark Steyn)

Several good Steynisms here. :D

Perusing reports of this month's World Naked Bike Ride in San Francisco, I was impressed by the way the acres of sagging mottled flesh stayed ruthlessly on message: "RE-ELECT GORE" was the slogan on one man's bottom, as fetchingly dimpled as a Palm Beach chad, while beneath the "GORE" of his butt his upper thighs proudly proclaimed "NO WAR" (left leg) "FOR OIL" (right). "I'D RATHER HAVE THIS BUSH FOR PRESIDENT" read one lady's naked torso with an arrow pointing down to the presidential material in question. What a bleak comment on the bitter divisions in our society that even so all-American a tradition as nude bicycling down Main Street should now be so nakedly partisan. It's as if the republic itself is now divided into a red buttock and a blue buttock permanently cleaved by the bicycle seat of war... More (http://www.suntimes.com/output/steyn/cst-edt-steyn18.html)

Please provide links to the pictures and remove them from the thread, or it will be done by others. Thanks.

I'm removing the link. If anyone wants to see photos of fat ugly people, you'll have to google 'em up yourself, or go to Ted Kennedy's website.

[DoctorDoom]

Let those who want to see naked, ugly people make the effort to go there. They don't belong in FC threads. Thank you for deleting them.

:moo: You're welcome.

[Riverboat]

I sincerely apologize. No ifs, ands, or. . . well, you know. I must be in a puckish mood. I DO realize this is not the place for some of the pictures, particularly the fat broad.

This is my olive branch.

Unfortunately I saw them here...Yuck. How come models never protest nude?
Have you seen some of the PETA (http://www.peta.org/feat/swain/) protests?

From Steyn's article:It may be true that on critical issues such as Iraq and immigration the GOP is divided. But it's a much bigger stretch to conclude that the beneficiary of those divisions is likely to be the Democratic Party, which is about the last place one would look for a serious position on either issue.Steyn nailed it there. No thinking person can take liberal Democrats seriously. They're just not serious people. They think that being against everything is a platform, that hating America is an idea, that going around naked on a bicycle is a statement, that slogans such as "no war for oil" are a foreign policy.

Those are the kinds of things college kids used to do. Nowadays only old, fat liberals do them. The rest of the world knows that serious decisions require serious people.
