Accompanying this headline:
Bush’s brief Egypt visit shows up cooler ties
was this picture:
In typical news organization fashion, AFP got a major element of the story wrong. President Mubarak’s tie is decidedly not cool. It appears to be brick red with some yellow and, perhaps, navy blue diamonds. Not cool at all.
There’s someone in my shul (synagogue) who has the coolest ties. You know where he gets them? He gets them from Nordstrom Rack. So two weeks ago, when I was in Nordstrom Rack, I got myself a cool tie too.
I guess the moral of the story, is that if they want to get cooler ties in the Middle East they really need a Nordstrom’s Rack. (Syms also has some pretty cool ties.) Maybe then cooler ties will prevail.
