The Corner

Fashion Statement

By

From a reader:

So, on Saturday morning, I performed my first official act as a political activist: I went to my County Convention and voted for my State rep.

On the way in the door, I was greeted by lots of folks handing out fliers for their respective candidates. 

What made my day? 

The enthusiastic comment, “great shirt!” that I got from one of these greeters as I strode in wearing my NRO: Resistance is Futile t-shirt. 

Thanks, NRO!  You truly helped me dress for success!
