A Better Invocation of Reagan

Last week, Barack Obama invoked the memory of Ronald Reagan. Big mistake. Not because of what Obama said, but because no matter what he said, it was sure to be misconstrued.

Either way, if Obama was going to raise the spectre of Reagan, he would have done better to quote Reagan's 11th amenmdent, appropriately modified: Thou shalt not speak ill of a fellow Democrat.

He might have done Reagan one better and added, "Stick to the issues!" Hillary's and Barack's back-and-forth jabs are silly and distracting. Stop it already!

And while we're on the topic of distracting, the former prez needs to banish the orange tie to the back of the closet, or better yet, the trash bin. Orange is for clowns, jack-o-lanterns, and traffic cones.

Hillary's stock would go up immediately if she would show some leadership on this issue.

That is one of the biggest tie-knots I have seen outside of the 1973 J.C. Penny catalog. Learn to tie a knot, Bill.

....and this is why every man should teach his daughter(s) how to tie a man's tie, and how to tie a bow-tie. It will come in handy.

...sorry for the rant. I'm over it now.

I agree that orange is for clowns. That's why this is the perfect tie for Billy boy. While I'm at it, he should add a big scarlet "A" to it to make his ensemble complete.

Meanwhile, Osler seems obsessed with Project Runway. You know, to look at them, you would never guess the Baylor Law faculty knew or cared anything about fashion.

Are you kidding?? We live for fashion!

Orange remains inexplicably hot among men's designers right now. Blue or Red would look better on Bill. I have a Valentino tie that would win Hillary the nomination:

Also I for one am very glad that Prof Osler is discovering haute couture. Who knows what is next? A sewing challenge in PC? Can't you hear Prof Evidence say "You're OUT!" Heh, don't know about the "Auf Wiedersehen" and cheek kiss, but...
