"What do I bring to the table? You may have heard of a certain guy: One John Pierpont Morgan, perhaps? Bitter man, rosacea on the nose; however, tremendous determination. I share all three characteristics, Ms. Waters."
Thats the problem with Brooks Bros ties (and patterned shirts too) - they're everywhere. I've also been to meetings where someone else had the same tie. Not the end of the world, but slightly goofy.

Without the CodePink chicks, the entire hearing would have been seriously boring.
Thanks to the chicks (and to that one angry-looking, pink clown), many of you who otherwise wouldn't have tuned in, paid attention, hoping for a random pink outburst.
