Demon Denim

The Washington Post ^ | 4/16/09 | George Will

[steve-b]

On any American street, or in any airport or mall, you see the same sad tableau: A 10-year-old boy is walking with his father, whose development was evidently arrested when he was that age, judging by his clothes. Father and son are dressed identically -- running shoes, T-shirts. And jeans, always jeans. If mother is there, she, too, is draped in denim.

Writer Daniel Akst has noticed and has had a constructive conniption. He should be given the Presidential Medal of Freedom. He has earned it by identifying an obnoxious misuse of freedom. Writing in the Wall Street Journal, he has denounced denim, summoning Americans to soul-searching and repentance about the plague of that ubiquitous fabric, which is symptomatic of deep disorders in the national psyche....

Durn kids! Git off my lawn!

Could be worse... they could be dressed in Snuggies.

[Kieri]

Throw a denim baseball at Will and see if he catches it.

[Dr. Sivana]

Weren’t denim overalls the uniform of the outer party in “1984?”

Tom Wolfe observed in “I am Charlotte Simmons” that the college youth of the early 200’s dress like 6 year olds: khaki shorts, t-shirts and flip flops.

[trisham]

I love denim. So there. :)

[Dr. Sivana]

200’s should have been rendered 2000’s.

[dblshot]

Gee George, don’t get your bow tie in a knot.

[Above My Pay Grade]

Proof that not all the elitists are in the Democrat party. Obama and his minions are destroying our economy, stealing our liberty and handing a suffocating tax burden to our children and grandchildren, and Will is worried about denim?

[Kirkwood]

I wear jeans when traveling, then switch to a suit at detination. Get over it.

[Travis T. OJustice]

Carhart jeans & workboots, practically my uniform.

[basil]

Am I alone in thinking that George Will is off his rocker? Who elected him as the clothing police?

One thing's for sure--Mr. Will would look silly in jeans--and he's jealous of those who don't.

[Mr. Jazzy]

Something written by George Will?

It’s a wonder that Mr. Will can see well enough to write with his nose shoved so far up Odumbos ass.

[FourPeas]

When George Will goes off track, he goes far, far off track.

[T Minus Four]

Obviously we need state intervention. This is a shocking state of affairs and can’t be allowed to continue. After all, what will the other countries think of us? We’ll take care of defense and the economy later.

This is just testing the waters for sharia. Making women give up jeans will be a tuff sell though...

[ILikeBourbon]

They’ll get my Levi’s 501’s and 527’s when they pry them from my cold, dead buttocks.

[bonnieblue4me]

Down on the corner, by the traffic light,
everybody’s lookin’, as she goes by,
they turn their heads and they, watch her till she’s gone.

Lord have mercy, Baby’s got her blue jeans on!
up by the bus stop, and across the street,
open up their windows, to take a peek,
y’all she goes walking, rockin’ like a rollin’ stone.

Heaven help us, baby’s got her blue jeans on!

As I posted on Trixie’s board:

Isn’t George Will that writer who used to pen rhapsodic prose for the Opening Day of baseball and an occasional conservative think piece? Didn’t he change sides to write about his man-crush over The Annointed One during election season? I don’t remember - he is dead to me...

Money talks

but it don’t sing and dance
and it don’t walk.
And long as I can have you here with me

I’d much rather be
forever in blue jeans.

Honey’s sweet.
But it ain’t nothing next
to baby’s treat.
And if you pardon me

I’d like to say we’ll do okay

forever in blue jeans.

Maybe tonight

maybe tonight
by the fire all alone you and I;
nothing around but the
sound of my heart and your
sighs.

Money talks.
But it can’t sing and dance
and it can’t walk.
And long as I can have you here with me

I’d much rather be
forever in blue jeans
babe.

And honey’s sweet.
But it ain’t nothing next
to baby’s treat.
And if you pardon me

I’d like to say we’ll do okay

forever in blue jeans.

Maybe tonight

maybe tonight
by the fire all alone you and I;
nothing around but the
sound of my heart and your
sighs.

And money talks.
But it don’t sing and dance
and it don’t walk.
And long as I can have you here with me

I’d much rather be
forever in blue jeans.

And long as I can have you here with me

I’d much rather be
forever in blue jeans
babe.

The only reason to write something like this is to test the waters for sharia. Getting women to give up jeans or forcing them through public opinion to ‘cover up’ won’t work anywhere save new york city where any fad can prosper.
