Suffering through an East Texas day, with temps into the mid-70s. But tomorrow is forecast to be in the low-40s.
Enjoy now, suffer later. Sounds like D.C. politics, doesn't it.

Yeah, it must have been terrible - she seemed really naive about what she got herself into. Not that any feminists blamed Bill for it. And if it weren't for Linda Tripp, she would be just another crazy bimbo dragged through the mud by Clinton's team (so it could have been worse).

Look, if you're that scared of ValJar getting at your email - that you'd rather break several laws than run afoul of her - it's a good indication that you shouldn't take the job. But this is Hillary, so she was only thinking about what's best for Hillary.

But that's not really the reason, in most places.
Well, it is, but you can say it in a way that won't get you sued.
"Like it or not, your appearance is one of the things on which we, as a company, are judged. A sloppy or too casual appearance harms the company when it comes to gaining new business, and even keeping current clients. Since we can't have a rule that just says 'use good judgement,' we're required to create specific guidelines. The guidelines we have created are designed to assure, insofar as it is possible, a professional appearance in line with our customers' expectations."
And, yes, there are still some people who will complain. In my experience, however, places that explained their dress codes that way (and then actually did make sure the dress code met with customer expectations- I'm a software developer, to some extent my employer is lucky I'm in pants), have had far fewer problems than places that said "because that's the dress code."

Yep, Hillary is all about controlling information. Having control of the email server gave her the ability to control scandals and pesky FOIA and subpoena intrusions. This is the same woman who "found" Rose Law firm records in the personal quarters of the WH years after they were subpoenaed. And didn't she and an aide raid Vince Fosters office within hours of his death?
She put her own political safety (from day 1 of her confirmation hearing) above the security of classified documents/America. That's all you need to know about Hillary.

At least in my congregation, it's all the women who are about my own age. Which means it's the generation which first grew up thinking that was acceptable, and with their parents *not* (again) taking time to *explain* why it's inappropriate, but instead saying "just because we don't."
Well, those girls grew up and decided "F that," and wore whatever they wanted. Now *their* daughters are doing the same (and often worse), and even the ones uncomfortable with it have no leg to stand on when telling their daughters to cover up more.

Must wear a shirt
Must wear shoes
No breastfeeding in the courtroom
No smoking in any area of courthouse including courtroom
No chewing tobacco in any area of courthouse including courtroom

A Secretary of State, you have MUCH more scrutiny regarding donations and swapping influence for money.
Also, you can be as "mavericky" as you want as a Senator, imagine a Senator Clinton calling Obama out for all his obvious foreign policy blunders, she would be much better positioned. Now she's a 3rd term for Obama, it's inescapable, with even more corruption from Clinton Inc.

My youth pastor in high school had a *very* awkward conversation with the girls about how our church attire needed to honor God. It got so bad we had to institute a dress code, and I have the distinct memory of the phrase "If you can't wear that dress to school, why on earth would you think it is ok to wear at the house of God!?" being uttered.

When you are in an office, the only purpose of the dress code (especially if you don't see anybody outside of that office) is to keep the environment professional. And that line, in our pretty dressed down society, is kind of a mess.

re Paul Allen and the Musashi - THIS is what I'd do if I had spare billions. Well, one thing, anyway.
Anyone know if Allen's "philanthropy" is actually such? I do not regard most of the activities of the tech tycoons as philanthropy, as I cannot consider efforts to reduce freedom and prosperity and further expand pernicious state power - a reasonable description of so much these people fund - as philanthropy. Most of the environmental crap, of course their political contributions - almost entirely to fascist and statist and racist elements - this is just more sabotage of the system that allowed them to (often, by chance) stumble into their bilions.
I thought Allen was the one behind the new Me-262s (yes, new production - with some upgrades for safety, I believe). And also has his own WWII warbird collection/museum somewhere up in the NW?

Allow me to clarify. Walk a few blocks in my (dress) shoes:
You try walking 2 blocks to your car, through snow up to your knees, in wind-chill temps of minus 20, in dress shoes and dress pants.
Every morning and again in the afternoon when you get home.
We had most of the office bringing a complete set of dress clothes in backpacks every day, till management decided enough was enough for this winter.
It's not about wimpitide, it's about safety and common sense.

It is amusing though that I would almost say the older women dress sluttier than the young ones. You'll see a mom coming in with her family looking like she's been at a Las Vegas club for a bachelorette party.

I agree. If I have an obligation (and I do) to dress according to the dress code, then it seems only reasonable that my employer has a counterbalancing obligation to see to it that the dress code is reasonable.
If I work in an office where I'm never going to see clients, there's no reason (as a software dev) that I shouldn't be allowed to wear jeans (shorts in the summer), a t-shirt, and tennis shoes.
As a consultant (which I am right now) I'm always on-site with a client- which then obligates me to dress more professionally than that. Which I both acknowledge and understand.

I was at a megachurch once, and the trophy wife in front of me had on this tight, lacy, sheer dress that brought all kinds of attention to her rather well-formed behind. Had to hide my boner with a hymnal.

Yeah and its stupid. Clubs and organizations everywhere have distinct behaviors, ways of dressing, language, etc. People join them and like the feeling of it being a special unique thing they are part of, rather than like all the rest of life.
And the focus on God is lost. Worship, joy, love, respect, reverence, all out the window in the name of being more culturally relevant and comfortable. Church is not being church if its comfortable. It should afflict the comfortable and comfort the afflicted.
Well there's a warm welcome to God's family.
Well if you'd read up above where I pointed out people can come however they want to but should learn over time wisdom and discernment enough to dress more appropriately, you might understand my point rather than cherry picking one comment.

I've taught my kids that we should dress for the detination. When we're in church, that means good clothing, not the same clothing for gardening or play. When in the choir, or when they're altar servers, they dress a certain way because they are on the altar, and are part of the mass. When I'm in the congregation, I usually don't bother with a dress coat or tie. When singing with the choir, I employ both.
It's not hard, but does call for reason and consistency.

Yeah, commonly the girl that sits in front of us wears lower jeans and a thong and when she stands up it tends to pull down on the back... Girls. Think about what you're doing when you dress okay? Is a thong really what you want to have on in church to begin with? Don't hand me that "comfortable" line, butt floss isn't about comfort.

some others in the congregation were wearing their least-worn jeans
because that's really their best clothes "
Now that, I wouldn't have a problem with. But this church was in an affluentish neighborhood (Plum Creek for those familiar with Austin suburbs) and we're talking about a bunch of middle class folks who just want to wear jeans because it's cool or something. The worship leader didn't even wear shoes!

King v. Burwell. Hmm. Yet another illustration of how farcical the judicial part of the broken constitutional system has become? There is no serious argument about the merits. Like many big cases, actually. Yet there is actually doubt and drama over how the court will rule on a situation where the language and legislative history/intent are as clear and unambiguous as the instructions on a fire extinguisher.
Pretty clear that the founders' idea of a judiciary simply hasn't worked out (on constitutional/judicial review matters). It's become an unaccountable super-legislature. By coincidence it seems to have mostly become dominated by the less talented and, in terms of sensibility, most alien and un-American people available, as well.
Which is more degrading, in a Soviet or Ceaucescu's Romania sense - this bizarre alien president and his lawless arrogance, or the SCOTUS' rampaging idiocy? The latter is worse at least in that there is this ridiculous, degrading "deference" to the Court - technically unjustified of course, notwithstanding Marbury - and ever more so because the entire legal industry bows down, treating silly capricious nonsense from the Court as if it's part of some serious process. Like Soviet journal articles (esp. starting in the 80s) that deferentially cited the increasingly ludicrous make-believe "doctrine" coming from the top.

The culture is just more casual in all things when it comes to dress, most men wore a suit to the office if they had a white collar job. That's long gone now unless you're something like an attorney and going to court.
If people feel pressure to dress up I think it's going to mean less families in Church. I'd rather have a full congregation than a nearly empty, well dressed one.
