Bruce Reed Is Too Busy for Davos!An ongoing photographic inquiry.
Posted Thursday, Jan. 31, 2002, at 6:28 PM ET
Hey, Bruce Reed! You're president of the Democratic Leadership Council. You were President Clinton's domestic policy adviser. You're the guy who helped end welfare as we know it. Are you going to the World Economic Forum, familiarly known as "Davos," when it meets Jan. 31-Feb. 4 in New York City?

StumbleUponNo, Chatterbox.
Why not?
Too Busy!
My invitation appears to have been another target of the cowardly attack on our postal service. In times of war, all of us must sacrifice.
Whatcha gonna do instead?
We should stop talking about economic growth and start doing something about it. I'm going to Disney World.
That sounds a lot more important! Chatterbox will spend the next few days inviting prominent thinkers and doers in Washington to Don the Shirt. Are you too busy for Davos? Chatterbox is!"

Notes From The Fray Editor:
Fraysters know what it is to have important thoughts that should be shared with the whole world, and yet be too busy to achieve everything. Like Bruce Reed, Marylb is going to Disneyland instead. Persephone was going to go to Davos, but then was invited to post in the Fray, which was a much more enticing prospect. Matthew Graham wants to know if "Too busy for Davos" T-shirts are easier to come by than invitations to Davos.
Reader Comment From The Fray:
If you are in want of prominent thinkers, look no further than The Fray. I'm much too busy to attend Davos, but could spare a moment to pose for a picture.
I assume I get to keep the T-shirt.
