God hates neckties
Before taking apart Amanda Marcotte's convoluted assertions that breasts are like heads, and the Althouse-Instapundit axis wants feminists dead, Ann Althouse noticed a slight peculiarity in the appearance of the male British hostages. The latter were released wearing suits, but minus neckties. Sigh. It seems that Mahmoud Ahmadinejad wants all men to look like him. Ill fitting suits worn without neckties. Well, you can't say I haven't tried to uphold what the Iranians consider Satanic standards. MORE: Those interested in the origins of the war on neckties might enjoy this video of the 1979 Iranian revolution:
"The Shah has our support and he also has our confidence."This is immediately followed by Mike Wallace: "On the advice of the United States he ordered his troops to avoid confrontation. It was advice the Shah would soon regret." posted by Eric on 04.05.07 at 12:37 PM

Hate neckties as they are frivolous adornments, while my clothing outlook is utilitarian in nature. Never bothered to learn how to tie one, either. For expected social norms there are times to have a tie, however, so the solution is elegant, simple, effective: Zipper Ties. Now that I have no need of meeting social norms, I don't need them or the wardrobe that went with them. Mostly collarless shirts... that was always the ticket for me. And since I like black, I have been mistaken for clergy more than once... ajacksonian · April 6, 2007 10:18 AM Post a comment

I actually like neckties quite a bit. However, I never trust a man wearing a bowtie, for obvious reasons.
