Purple

I heard - I'm pretty sure on the radio - that Nancy Pelosi wore a purple suit the day after elections. The speculation was that since purple is a combination of red and blue (the Democrat and Republican colors), that she was signaling a new era of bi-partisanship. Now I'm going to wait and see if there are any comments on the colors of the ties of other male politicians. This is the first time in all the years that I've followed politics that the color of a government official's clothing was interpreted as a signal. I'm guessing it has something to do with sex - Nancy's, that is.
