On George Will's silly denim column

I love GW; he was my only lifeline on ABC throughout the 80s but his column is just nuts.

Lileks blasts the silly thing here.

For the record--I don't think I saw my dad in jeans until he was in his 70s. He never,ever wore shorts even here in Texas unless one counts bathing togs at the beach or lake. I don't think he even owned a pair of shorts. He mowed the lawn in khakis.

To Will's point I do concur a bit. Growing up and taking the train from Dallas to OK City to visit the relatives in the 60s, my brother and I may not have worn suits but we were dressed up. Likewise on SW Air in the70s.

My stodgy GW side does hate it when I board a plane and am surrounded by shorts, t-shirts and flip-flops.
