Tyin' one on

One of the blogs favorite songs is Outkast's Bow tie. Mostly because of the crazy beats but also because of the catchy lyrics:

Crocodile on my feet

Fox fur on my back

Bowtie `round my neck

That's why they call me the gangsta mack

Apparently, GOP Rep. Neil Peterson loves that song too since he's always wearing Bow ties around the Capitol. Many of Peterson's colleagues were also playin' the gangsa mack today. Peterson said he brought in about two dozen bow ties for folks to wear.

Many Republicans from the corner of the House Chamber (known as the Dog Pound) wore the neckwear. Peterson made a crack that some in the Dog pound may be showing solidarity with someone in the dog house. Peterson lost the GOP endorsement but said he'll run in the primary.

Can't say that I like rap but I do like bowties and any omage to them is alright with me.
