Sadly, I think a lot of people in this country take that line seriously.

He's got a retirement fund last I hears, though that could be a rumour.
Not that that is the actual answer, but it is a part of it, I think.

Now, I know was more of a tomboy when I was a kid, but really! I don't know if I should be proud or shocked.

ETA: More rage. The redirected flight? It was because a guy was wearing tfillin.
ETA2: Even moar raeg. The Supreme Court threw out a 63-year-old law designed to restrain the influence of big business and unions on elections Thursday, ruling that corporations may spend as freely as they like to support or oppose candidates for president and Congress.

Are they implying that adopted children don't do as best? Or am I just reading too much into that?

The story may still turn out to be ugly and bigoted, I don't discount that possibility. But not recognizing tefillin doesn't automatically make someone an ignoramus.

Date: 2010-01-22 07:16 am (UTC)Though I'm not sure why I'm so surprised, since the TSA folks questioned a friend of mine about his talllit & tefillin in his carry-on...
*sigh*
I guess it's more of a shock to me that people manage to graduate from school never having been exposed to any kind of comparative religion curriculum...

(Heck, it's so white-bred around here I came within a hairsbreadth of telling a customer at work that she had dirt on her forehead on Ash Wednesday.) I have read about tefillin, but never seen one worn and would probably be at least temporarily confused by seeing one. Just saying...

Date: 2010-01-21 09:12 pm (UTC)You have mixed feelings? I'm pretty much on the universal, "ick!"
Slide 5 (velvet jacket and scarf with tote bag), I appreciate androgyny as much, if not more than the next woman, but I'm not a fan of the whole short cigarette pants with loafers thing on men. It always looks likes someone incompetent did their hemming to me. And trying to create a more female silhouette with the cut and half-buttoning of the jacket just looks like bad thrift store shopping to me. Actually (and thoroughly atypically for me,) I might have appreciated slide 3 (camo-esque print coat with double row of buttons) more if the the model was more masculine looking. I think the both the pattern and the cut would be better suited to broader shoulders. Slide 6 left me thinking "Stanfields? Really? I mean I get macho and Henley tops have their appeal, but long underwear? Really?
The less said about the luge suits and stocking caps of Slides 8 and 9 the better, but the leiderhosen-esque shorts and knee socks of Slide 8 induced complete bafflement even before the furry hats were tossed in.
Then there was Slide 4 with the "okay, that's sort of disturbing". I realise a lot of uniforms in WWII, including the RAF had that belted jacket look going, but the cut and colour sent me straight to the SS.
I was unimpressed with slide 7. In the prison/barracks-like atmosphere of the show, the guy wearing concentration camp style stripes was thoroughly creepy and distasteful. Having checked out the rest of the collection, all I can say is Thom Browne needs to get over his shorts and nazi fixations. Especially when used in combination.
On the bright side the suits in slide 1 were pretty great and I, for one, was delighted as hell to see the return of men's hat:-)

Date: 2010-01-22 10:22 am (UTC)As for the rest of the fashion show.
Slide Number one made me think of some sort of alien clone invasion. lol! Either that or a dance routine for a Las Vegas show.
#2 I thought was pretty cool, and very sci-fi looking.
#3 is just ick. With that pattern, one has to be a particular shape to carry it off. It's just not working for that model. Nor is the hair.
#4. Yup, 'Allo, 'Allo again. Herr Flick with his trusty Gestapo equipment. Innuendo unintended. I would like the bangs better if they didn't look so 'hair-sprayed'. (I rather like long hair on men.)
#5, I love that velvet blazer and the scarf, just not in combination. And I'll agree with the ankle pants. And is it just me, or do the sleeves of the blazer also appear to be a little too short? And I want to tell the model to put some socks on. The penny loafers look incomplete with no socks somehow.
#6. I really like this one. And the model has the shoulders to pull it off as well.
I think I would have liked the last pics better (especially #9) if there had been quite a bit more whimsy. As it is, they're a bit chilling.

Date: 2010-01-21 09:22 pm (UTC)As for the fall 2010 menswear collections - at least from the photos, most were IMHO hideous, several were disturbing, but the oddity from Versace (which I elsewhere read was inspired by Tron of all things) was interesting and fun, and that lovely outfit with the velvet jacket by Gucci is one of the few things I've ever seen in such collections that I deeply covet.

Now why do I keep thinking all those guys need is a song and dance routine and they'll be ready for Vegas.
