Done on a Budget of £100 and "raw", becuase my tailor is currently on holliday. The bastard.

My wife has been on a four year campaign to get me to run for office.

Several problems, though:

1. What does a state senator do? Based on what I read in the paper, they seem mostly to run their cars into telephone poles. Perhaps there might be an initial thrill, but wouldn't that get rather old in repetition?

2. Who will write my speeches? Is there anyone available? I prefer inexpensive.

3. There probably is a grassroots group pining for sarcastic, acceptably dressed and shod representation. But, how do I translate this pool of personal injury law clients into a political movement?

4. There's the small matter of my posts here. The photographs. Les bon mots. A few months ago, my wife brought up this subject. It went sort of like so:

"[garbled] and I think that you should pick something. You're the right age and we think you could do some good."

"Dear, I like what I'm doing. Particularly now, there are se important things. You also know that I don't really believe in politics or economics except in the punitive sense."

"Look how horrible the jackasses are, though. That Coakley [expletive] on down. You could do a better job."

"Thank you, dear. May I show you something? You know that clothing forum where I blow off steam and post those ridiculous photos of myself?"

"Yes, so you're eccentric. People expect that from us."

"Well, here's a series of photos that I just posted. She's a college pole vaulter out on the Left coast."

"She's cute."

"Well, imagine this in the Cambridge Chronicle."

[pause]. Then, in her exact rendering of Nora Charles:

"You idiot."

She's right.

Double four-in-hand, pull the end through both loops. It does not look good in the picture you quoted.

Gnatty, love the look overall, but I just can't quite get behind such soft collars. Do they look different in real life, or am I just being too English about a nicely starched collar?
