Village Halloween Parade 2004 - Politics

I wore a John Kerry mask in the 2004 Greenwich Village Halloween parade. It's a lousy mask. I got the half-mask because I wanted to be able to speak, not wrap my head in sweaty rubber, and spend less than half what a full mask costs. But my resemblance to John Kerry was marginal at best. So I just about had to knock people over their heads with my "Kerry in a Landslide" sign in order for them to even know who I was supposed to be. But somehow the kids seemed to know instantly, and they treated me like a rock star. Reaching out to touch me and shouting Kerry, Kerry, Kerry, with inflection rising almost to a squeal.

Even the full mask, from the same company (César) is barely recognizable, it looks like a cadaver.
Whereas the Bush and Laura masks are easy to identify and they look so damn happy.
I gave out many of these stickers. This one'll bring out the youth vote.
Swingers. Swing states Ohio and Florida, and their electoral votes.
Santa Saddam was back again this year.
Scary Dick (WMD) Cheney working the camera.
The beautiful weapons inspectrix, holding her inspection probe/cattle prod. She made good use of it to keep Dick (WMD Chreney) in line.

This Billionaire gave me a chocolate quarter to vote for Bush.

More Billionaires, I think.
More young Kerry fans.
Earlier I saw two young women in cop outfits faux-corralling some of the real cops in orange construction webbing, the technique the cops used during the RNC demonstrations. It was funny, gutsy and done with good humor. I think this is one of them.
They have Weapons of Mass Destruction in their pants.
Bush - Best Zombie Money can Buy.
Zombies - They did the dance routine from Michael Jackson's Thriller Video.
More Zombies.
