Senate dress code

Watching a movie while I exercise, and the upright male character wore his suit to a baseball game, I immediately thought of you. It gave me a good laugh.

I'm not sure how young you are, Phan,
and it's none of my business, I suppose.

I know that it's only in recent decades that
major league baseball came out west or south of St. Louis;

but when I went to my first baseball games in the 1950s,
all the men in the stands were wearing suits....and hats, too.

Not a rib--I'm serious!!!

OK, that was a little while ago,
but still....

Ancient history, thank goodness! I like to wear pants or shorts which would have been frowned upon! I prefer the present to the past.

I like a little bit of the present and miss too much [certainly not all] of the past.


Now, in major league ballparks, most of the fans are wearing licensed "merch."

If there is any way at all to monetize something,
American enterprise will find a way.

I wear that shit myself, I'm embarrassed to say, and it isn't cheap.
The Rad Sox and Patriots have violated the sanctity of my own closet and drawers.:whoa:

Would it be appropriate to wear a tan suit to work?

Warren Beatty, 1961.
The Roman Spring of Mrs. Stone by Tennessee Williams.

I LOVED the tan summer suit that he wore in that film.

I was actually in my early teens,
but it made enough of an impression
that I went out and bought one a few years later.

I disagree, I think there is a case for uniforms in some situations, but if you are in a community where things run smoothly without them, you are better off without.

I have never worn a uniform in my adult work career and never intend to. I do not see how uniforms prepare a student for "the real world."

They don't. I wore a uniform throughout my Catholic school years and never thought to give it any credit when I entered the "real world."
 
Jim Jordan dresses like he is a bag boy at Kroger's Grocery Store!

Well, I don't think that the Senate Dress Code is a political issue.

I'm a Democratic Socialist.
I'm glad when Democrats win.
Core Republican values are repugnant to me well before they get the MAGA treatment.

That said, I find inappropriate dress to be very disrespectful in any situation.

It all goes back to 1965 and Lyndon Johnson being inaugurated in a regular business suit
rather than a formal morning suit like the presidents before him. [The first, emergency inauguration was a totally different matter.]

America decided on that day that it's not important to have class and dignity anymore.
We chose to present ourselves to the world as populist mongrels,
and we can see what it has gotten us.

I laugh when you try to insult me.
I put you on IGNORE, Vandy Boy, when you insult my dog.

What I pick up from the pavement on her walks
is more valuable to our society
than anybody in your family will ever be.

Thank you, fuck you, see ya.

Did you attend a university in a barnyard, old man?

Your scatological vocabulary precedes you, old man.

Your GED has not served you well.
