Lobbyists, Congresswomen
donate back-closet rejects

Surprisingly, I found this great fashion piece filed under K Street Files, but Roll Call has informed me that Nancy Pelosi (who I saw tonight wearing a very nice white pantsuit to the Roll Call Congressional Baseball Game - she's not so lucky, the Grand Ol' Party won) is quite the fan of Armani. I was told this is common knowledge, but somehow it wasn't to me. Anyway, be kind, donate some nice clothes - and see the next post if you have extra shoes lying around.

In Fashion. It's that time of year again. Lobbyists, looking to polish their oft-tarnished image, are planning to donate their used duds to charities that provide clothing to the unemployed.

The American League of Lobbyists' Capitol PurSuit clothing drive is this Wednesday in the Rayburn House Office Building foyer, and the organizers said that Armani-suit-enthusiast Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Reps. Wally Herger (R-Calif.) and Loretta Sanchez (D-Calif.) all are expected to attend a noon press conference. ALL is also collecting clothes from Hill staffers. ...

... The clothes ... "go to nonprofit organizations that help less fortunate people get back into society and into the workforce." ...
To read the entire item you'll need a pricey Roll Call subscription...

This design is wicked! You certainly know how to keep a reader entertained.
Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved
to start my own blog (well, almost...HaHa!) Great job.

I really loved what you had to say, and more
than that, how you presented it. Too cool!

First of all I would like to say great blog!
I had a quick question that I'd like to ask if you don't mind.
I was curious to know how you center yourself and clear your thoughts before
writing. I've had a difficult time clearing my thoughts in getting my ideas out there. I do enjoy writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are usually lost simply just trying to figure out how to begin. Any suggestions or hints? Appreciate it!
