What's up with George Will? I used to respect him as a thinking man's conservative columnist, sort of a Charles Krauthammer with neocortical implants. But now he's gone off over, believe it or not, denim. George Will thinks denim is a problem. After calling demin an "infantile uniform" he offers this fashion advice:
This is not complicated. For men, sartorial good taste can be reduced to one rule: If Fred Astaire would not have worn it, don't wear it. For women, substitute Grace Kelly.
Come on George. Are you really so priggish as that?
Apparently he's steaming because denim is rightfully worn only by the working class, and for others it's a foolish pretense, trying to look like a laborer. He does let loose one comment that shows he's not only an elitist about clothes, he bemoans the fact that:
Seventy-five percent of American "gamers" -- people who play video games -- are older than 18 and nevertheless are allowed to vote.
Presumably the problem is that gamers vote wrong.
After being in the news recently for his zero credibility stance that global warming is a media myth, George must be ready to come out of the closet and just declare as a poor loser.
Here's my advice to Mr. Will...try to loosen up a bit, you might have a bit of fun now and then. Kick up your heels and actually try wearing a pair of jeans now and then, maybe in the safety and comfort of your own home. Who knows where it might lead, George, maybe you'll even re-discover your inner Boy.
