Proving that real men wear pink ties, Juan Melli stands head and shoulders - literally - above the elite of Hudson County politics. Or something like that.

Juan is a bit too modest about these things, so it falls to the rest of us to brag for him. This here Ferrari we're driving was his baby and he has put in untold hours into making it, undisputedly, the leading progressive blog in New Jersey. Thanks for having us along for the ride, Juan, and thanks for doing such a fantastic job.

So, fess up - how many no-show jobs were you offered last night?

I can't ... (0.00 / 0)

It was clever but too snarky - the Hoboken Dems clearly are outshown by Juan's metallic chartreuse tie (It's waay past pink, xPat) - entire galaxies are outshown by that tie - but they can't help it that Juan's tie is beautiful and they ... are less so.

Mauve (0.00 / 0)

I meant, mauve. It's not chartreuse. It's mauve. Though I like the sound of metallic chartreuse more than metallic mauve.

must be early (4.00 / 1)

this must have been snapped early in the evening since no one is wearing a lampshade.

but the tie is totally fashion forward and chic. Looks like having all those gay blogmates has rubbed off on a man.

Late Word from DARPA: (4.00 / 4)

"DARPA has assigned a team of its top experts in energy and lasers to determine means and methods of adapting the tie of Juan Melli to use as an energy source for its Airborne Laser Device. One expert, speaking off the record and who asked to remain nameless said that just looking at the tie, the experts feel that it should be easier than falling out of bed."
