An open letter to George Will

[baxil]

Mr. Will,

On behalf of degenerate Godless left-wing libruls everywhere, I would like to thank you for your rich contribution to American conservatism's descent into hallucinatory self-parody. (TL;DR summary: He spends an entire column attacking jeans. I am not kidding. - Ed.)As self-examination, it is hard to overstate the profundity of lines

He... uh... is attacking jeans?!

[baxil]

I kind of buried the lead, didn't I? Yes, he is attacking jeans.

[kevynjacobs]

WOW. Self-parody is right.

Will has just gone over the edge.

[link_man]

You know, it sounds almost as if the author believes that Jeans are only to be worn by "Tough People", and since Americans are (according to him) apparently now without a spine, no longer deserve to 'wear' this attire.

If anything, I find the irony unsettling.

[kistaro]

Geez, if I had to wear khakis or something similar, or really anything neither jeans nor high-strength work pants, I'd go broke. (Possibly literally.) My bicycle lifestyle is incompatable with anything other than high-tensile pants.

[baxil]

Ssssshhhhhh! You're using logic! It might upset the man.

[lysana]

For one, I never noticed that you barely ever wear jeans. I just can't care.

For a second, I was told I need to emulate Grace Kelly in my attire choices. Mr. Will can design a set of orthopedic high heels first.

> I never noticed that you barely ever wear jeans.

That's the thing; nobody does, and nobody has since high school, which is the last time that I was surrounded by enough tiny-brained social leeches for someone to make any sort of issue out of it. Not caring is the mature response.

I hope Mr. Will does design a set of orthopedic high heels; it would be a better contribution to mankind than any neanderthal column he could write.
