Speaking of scarves, I meant to ask you guys something. If you saw someone who was obviously sort of fashionable wearing a keffiyeh as a scarf, like this:

would you think that it was just a look, or would you think it was a pro-Palestinian statement? (And where do you live?)

Candice pointed out to me this morning that US presidential hopeful John Edwards has a myspace, livejournal, youtube, del.icio.us, xanga, facebook, flickr, orkut, metacafe, tagworld, 43Things, yahoo! 360°, essembly, gather, partybuilder, ning, revver, blip.tv, CHBN, vSocial, collectivex, bebo, care2, and hi5 account.

I think this is what those in the campaign management profession call “trying too hard”. Be sure to read his website’s little blurbs about all of those services. And don’t forget your John Edwards wallpaper, blog badges, email signature images, and banner ads!

(Someone ought to buy the man a paid LiveJournal account already.)
