7. This must be it.
Yellow-Tie International Business Development AssociationDocument Actions Yellow-Tie is a nonprofit business-development association committed to helping people make the professional connections they need to succeed.
Yellow-Tie began on the principle that if you bring together groups of businesspeople who share common goals, the "give first" philosophy and collaborative attitudes, and then eliminate their roadblocks to success, they will leverage the power of their groups to achieve great things.
We continue to hold true to that principle -- because it's working.

8. Must be to set him apart from the republican presidential field..
I shit you not, all of the potential candidates had nearly identical red ties on the other night. They're probably trying to make it look like they are not "the same" as Bush.

9. Dennis Kucinich had on a yellow tie this evening

when he appeared on Tucker Carlson's show.

This was one time it was a good thing to be on MSNBC before "Countdown."

Dennis made a lot of sense, Tucker said silly things, no surprises. Kucinich was discussing his recent trip to Syria and Lebanon.
