Texas Man Keeps Vow to Wear Tie

Bob Flournoy needs all his legal talent to get out of this. The Lufkin, Texas, City Attorney put on a star-spangled necktie after Sept. 11, 2001. He said he'd wear it until Osama bin Laden was captured or dead. Six years later, the San Antonio Express-News reports Flournoy's tie is in tatters. It's so ugly he wears sweaters over it in summer. So now he's challenged bin Laden to prove he's still alive by this Sept. 11. Otherwise the tie comes off.

what an idiot! sorry about the name calling, but come on! where's the thinking on this one? number one...wearing a tie everyday for the past 6 years is already a bit silly, but then to 'challenge' someone, who obviously has an anger problem with the u.s., to prove he's alive? that's nice. where do folks get these ideas? and a city attorney no less?!? this kind of mentality scares me.
