From our continuing series of real-world encounters at the DNC: We came across this besocked fellow at a Time magazine breakfast this morning. In case you can't tell from the quality of the picture (another continuing series we're doing: blurry photography at the conventions), those are robin's-egg blue tennis socks with a cartoon starfish of indeterminate pedigree emblazoned on them. Not as flashy or patriotic as this guy from yesterday, but still continuing a proud tradition of dressing well for democracy.
