Stolen from pauraque and malograntum: This past Saturday was Kerry's birthday. In his honor, here's this picture of a young John Kerry, shirtless and holding a puppy.

Let's take this time to also admire this young and shirtless Howard Dean, carring lots of heavy firewood or something. Carry that firewood, Dean!

Man, with hotties like these on our team, how on earth could we lose? To a cheerleader, at that?
