You linked to an image on a site that doesn't want to be linked to.

Could you put the photo up on flickr, photobucket or imgur and post a link to there? That would solve this problem.

That's simpler than you copying it, uploading it to an image hosting site, and then giving us a link to that.

windsurfing in the opposite direction. I believe they played the Blue Danube Waltz behind it and the message was that Kerry flip flops on issues. But the other message was that it was an elitist sport and one that looked "funny" which could be seen as "awkward."

It didn't count the hundreds of thousands of dollars the horse itself costs. Or, the thousand-dollar saddles, the rest of the tack, and what they're paying the rider and trainer. And, living in an area that's full of horsey types like Ann Romney, I have little doubt part of that upkeep write-off was used to pay a pittance to some undocumented people from south-of-the-border to clean up after this beast.

Specifically, the scene where she has her own personal trainer and all she's doing is watching him workout.

On Edit: Okay - didn't sound right. What I mean is that Kerry was doing something accessible to a wide range of people. Rmoney doesn't even know what the concept of "accessible" means - he just assumes things are.
