Kerry’s Native Habitat

I enjoyed this Associated Press picture of John Kerry at a diner in Green Bay, Wisconsin. When he’s not campaigning, how often do you suppose Kerry eats at lunch counters with ketchup bottles, plastic glasses, packaged creamers and those bronze coffee pots? It’s a dismally familiar scene for most of us, but one that I don’t think is Kerry’s usual ambiance. And the fact that the “ordinary people” seated with Kerry have name cards in front of them detracts a bit from the informality of the scene.

Given how much he’s making me suffer, it’s nice to see that Kerry is suffering a little too.
