There was a big article in today's NY Times on Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky) and his efforts to make Libertarianism more palatable to the masses. Not likely. But I was more interested in the accompanying photo of the meeting room in Paul's Senate office. There on the white wall are two portraits, one of Rand, the other of his father Ron. Both are rendered in the classic "paint-by-numbers" style and both are frame-less, which accentuates the taste-challenged vibe. Each portrait is flanked by the sort of cheap-ass, low-maintenance houseplant, still in its original plastic pot, that was popular forty years ago when I was in college.
I'm no horticulturalist, but I think the plants are either snake's tongue (sansevieria) or dumb cane (dieffenbachia).
Either way, an appropriate choice.
