Kenyan Pundit points to Vuma Kenya, an organization which seeks to bring attention to and work toward solutions for the current crisis. They're planning a benefit concert on February 2nd at the Roxy in Boston, so if you're in the area you may want to check it out.

Looks like the presidential race is down to two on each side; reports are that Giuliani and Edwards are both dropping out. I wonder if this will all be figured out by convention time. Speaking of which, I am NOT looking forward to having scads of Republicans crawling all over my town come September. Shall I protest? Shall I pretend it's not happening? Shall I scramble to see if anyone wants freelance coverage from someone who has an imperfect understanding of politics but lives within walking distance of the convention center? I can't decide.

Because I am neurotic (no sense trying to hide it) I am beginning to obsess over stupid things, like how shall I dress for book-related stuff? I am a person who dislikes "dressing up" in general, but I'm not sure that the jeans/t-shirt/hoodie look is how I should be presenting myself. Since everyone knows that all great fashion choices are made by committee, OBVIOUSLY this calls for a poll:

[Poll #1129997]

I am afraid to answer this poll in case I actually do look like your mother.

I have a shirt that I bought at a Poster Children show that has a teeny American flag on it, and below that it says (in very small print): "it's my flag too."

Let's start a movement!

The "David Schwartz in an American Flag Diaper" movement!

I sense a groundswell of support already. The lurkers support us in email.

But do the diapers give you much support? That's what I want to know.

There is a crude joke here about things lurking in diapers, but I will resist making it.

On any other day -- I'm trying to be good this week and keep the poop humor to a minimum.

And to answer Snurri's question: no matter what you wear, it'd be substantially improved by an ascot.

Yeah, I thought by now there would be a lot more votes for the diaper. I mean, once I saw "American Flag diaper" I didn't even read the other choices.

Jeans, t-shirt, blazer AND goggles! Steampunk goggles, if you can get them! Take it from me: capes are actually more effort than they're worth, what with slipping around and pulling on your neck and giving you armpit wedgies.

I like how it's "Mr. Rogers Talks About Superheroes" and then it's just the intro.

But it shows how to dress if you're going to talk about Superheroes. And, well, you know, if it's too cold for the American Flag diaper.

'Course you can't go wrong with a cardigan over an American Flag diaper, can you?

Wear a suit. I think suits are pretty sexy.

I guess I can see that. But they are sexy! Especially if you wear the little vest thing.
