Who wears these pants anyway?

American foreign policy debate works like this.

Our so-called liberals fall all over themselves to prove they can be more vicious and reckless than our conservatives. They blow things up. They imprison people indefinitely (or just kill them) without due process. They work tirelessly to suppress free speech and political expression.

But no matter how hard they work at this it's always a losing proposition politically because the "branding" inevitably comes down to some idiotic fashion analogy. Since they're going to lose anyway, it would be nice if, for once, our so-called liberals would choose an actual liberal policy position hill on which to die.

Also someone with some more sophisticated fashion sense than mine needs to explain to me what the difference between "mom jeans" and "cowboy jeans" is. I suspect it's about as subtle and insignificant as the difference between our major political parties.

Return of the pants bandits

Uptown Messenger reports on the latest pantsing in 2012.

A robbery victim in the Broadmoor area was beaten and stripped of his pants by his attackers this weekend, but police have very little evidence to base an investigation on, authorities said.

Maybe not much evidence but they do have an established pattern.  Maybe this was what Derrick Shepherd was trying to warn us about all this time.
