I got an email from my cousin this morning:

An outing to Macy's - $4,537.

A shopping spree at Saks Fifth Avenue - $49,425.

A visit to Neiman Marcus - $75,062.

The purchase and appearance wearing a Democratic Party Scarf - Priceless

His attachment was a jpeg of Sarah wearing a red-white-and-blue scarf around her neck printed in a pattern that featured the word "VOTE" -- along with a whole lot of DONKEYS. (Actually, he attached two jpegs of the same photo: the original, plus a closely-cropped closeup of the scarf.)

Money don't buy brains, that's for sure!

(Wish I could include the photo here. I may try some way to make it available.)
