Folks, a real treat will be arriving at your front door steps or at the local newsstand in the form of page A13 of the New York Times this morning. It is a beautifully articulated piece about my tasteful sense of style. In particular it concerns my tie collection. Of course, I was also able to throw in a bit about how this relates to my Marine Corps leadership traits:
"At the same time, he concedes that his ties are an insight into his ethos, and that wearing them fulfills one of the Marine Corps leadership traits — bearing — that calls for “creating a favorable impression in carriage, appearance and personal conduct at all times.” If those in his 35,000-member police force emulate his immaculately tailored looks, that is a positive to him."
"Immaculately tailored looks." Isn't that just wonderful? As to emulating me, it's a nice thought, but do these guys have any idea what kind of low-grade crap we sell at the Equipment Section? Immaculately tailored is certainly not the first word that comes to mind there.
Now if only Paul would finally shut up and stop asking me what exactly I promised the New York Times in return for this fluff piece. Really, it wasn't much, really not worth mentioning. These guys will practically kiss my ass for anything. I think the Times might just soon be replacing the Economist as my favorite paper if they keep up this great work (so you better watch it you British bastards).
