Wonkette operative “Jeff E.” sends this photo from outside his office in Fat Cat rich person land, 17th Street between K and I. We all know who’s behind that wheel. Will no one tell Alan Grayson to stop pulling these stunts?

Grayson was just undercover patrolling K Street for whores.

Baloon Boy?

It’s no Dragula.

Skull and bones with a happy face? Loses some of the intended effect, I think.

Larry McAwful October 29, 2009 at 3:15 pm

I read something about a car that pretty much fits that description cruising around Bethesda. The driver was reportedly shouting, “Avast, ye scurvy dogs! Prepare to be boarded!” at other drivers.

rmontcal October 29, 2009 at 3:16 pm

That sure is one happy skull and crossbones!

AnSnarkist October 29, 2009 at 3:21 pm

Nah, it’s just a promotion for the new Death Cab for Cutie album. Those hipsters are so ironic!

SmutBoffin October 29, 2009 at 3:21 pm

Someone has stolen Spïnäl Täp’s stage decorations and is making a getaway!

bitchincamaro October 29, 2009 at 3:23 pm

And to prove it, they’re driving with no insurance!

ChernobylSoup v2 October 29, 2009 at 3:23 pm

art appreciation.

Y’know, I’m a librul and all for Health care, and could not agree with the sentiment more, but when did we lefties get so lame at protesting and stuff? We need badly written signs in all caps with pictures of insurance companies with Hitler mustaches, NOT stupid smiley balloons.

hockeymom October 29, 2009 at 3:25 pm

Why is the theme from Ghostbusters running thru my mind right now?

Larry McAwful October 29, 2009 at 3:29 pm

[re=446530]freakishlystrong[/re]: If this were a real lefty protest for health care (or any other issue,) there’d also be some guys campaigning for HEMP and for Free Mumia any maybe someone with a little booth set up to explain the Kabbala to any passers-by. By the time anyone leaves the protest area, they’ll have completely forgotten what the actual reason for the protest really is.

Cranky Little Camperette October 29, 2009 at 3:33 pm

HA! I just saw this thing on 15th & H — I was taking the cross-town bus. They weren’t yelling at the time, though.

I did wonder how much a custom inflatable like that costs, though.

Cranky Little Camperette October 29, 2009 at 3:34 pm

[re=446537]Larry McAwful[/re]: So true, instead of teabaggers we are sadsackers..sigh.

Chain Tattoo October 29, 2009 at 3:41 pm

Why is the skull smiling? These folks know nothing about scary costumes. Me, I’m going to a Halloween party as Dick Cheney. In a thong. That’ll scare those folks.

SayItWithWookies October 29, 2009 at 3:42 pm

That’s frightening — I’ve seen big inflatable pirhanas reduce a big inflatable guy to something like that in seconds.

Crank Tango October 29, 2009 at 3:43 pm

Hey hey, ho ho, [blank] has got to go!

Does anyone give a shit about people chanting anything? No. We suck.

Hey, that is me in my political Halloween costume- who posted my photo before I got a chance???

Gorillionaire October 29, 2009 at 3:59 pm

[re=446545]Cranky Little Camperette[/re]: My custom inflatable Kate Winslet was pretty expensive, but you get what you pay for, especially in the world of custome inflatable products.

Great Old Ones Party October 29, 2009 at 3:59 pm

People would remember it more if they saw this giant-ass skull while the car was blasting THIS non-stop.

People remember “wtf?!” more than political slogans.

[re=446507]ChernobylSoup v2[/re]: [re=446528]ChernobylSoup v2[/re]: The smiling “Jolly Roger” iconography is a subtle metaphor for the health insurance industry butt pirates and the rapacious joy they derive from fucking us all in the booty.

Extemporanus October 29, 2009 at 4:05 pm

Speaking of Ween, their incredibly moving ode to family, faith, and infection could not be more apropos.

One low bridge and it’s inflatable history.

AggieDemocrat October 29, 2009 at 4:25 pm

I heard this thing before I saw it – I’m at 17th and Eye. Couldn’t understand what they were shouting through my 8th-floor window, but I love the inflatable pirate logo they’ve got.

Cassawary October 29, 2009 at 4:42 pm

I’d like to see a car with an appropriate balloon representing Planned Parenthood’s core values.

That ought to be the soon to be released (2020) GM fuel efficient ‘concept car’.

Could be worse: I once saw a van plastered with pictures of aborted fetuses.

Will blood be dripping from your fangs??

Exterminatus October 29, 2009 at 8:43 pm

These guys are a long ways off still from the far-right parties in Japan. Those weirdos drive around in large vans through major downtown urban areas in Japan with speakers blaring far-right propaganda. In the US one might describe these “vans” as being the size of a FedEx truck. These twerps protesting in the picture above are even more pathetic losers in comparison.
