Mirror Image, See No Damage

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]

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.

And they support us in diapers!

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

They give me more support than my lurkers. :P

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

I love a good filthy diaper/lurker joke - go for 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.
