You’ve given up on sex, so I’m not sure why you don’t just go down to Costco, buy one of everything in the clothes heaps they put out, and be done with it.

I have all these expensive suits and about a hundred nice, conservative silk ties and I now haven’t worn a suit and tie in 4.5 years, for one funeral.

Now, it’s navy blue Adidas track pants and polos in nice weather and flannel shirts in cold. Life is good.

Co-sign. Had a funeral last week I put on one of my favorite suits for. Fcking hell. Was afraid I was going to blow it open the entire time. Could barely button the damn thing

Geez, you only go to Costco for one thing - pizza.

Well said. Same goes for skinny jeans by the way. When it got cold i put on my faves and my daughter bust out laughing. “OUT.” She’s a kid what does she know. Went over to grab my minion and my ex goes ohhh skinny jeans are over.

Rudderless. Just wearing lulus and sweats now. Waiting for the hammer to drop on quarter zips

Skinny jeans? WTF.

 

[BradStevens]

Yep. Bad pants and 3 button henleys. Then go get a used ford Taurus. Be done

Make sure that Taurus is brown or maroon.

Went yesterday. Had a slice. Not bad. Got a rib roast for tomorrow. Can’t wait. Fvck turkey and ham.

Today visiting parents and hitting up Mennonite broasted chicken, stuffing, and pie at Essenhaus. Might bump into Cray.

Gonna need some stretchy pants.

Met some pals at the Columibia Club bar on the circle in Indy.

Knowing the dress code includes a tie and jacket, I improvised. Wore a quarter zip with zipper down thus exposing a dress shirt and tie underneath.

The bar manager who is a stickler for proper attire and over the years has questioned my attire appeared to be chagrined with my wardrobe. After a moment of silence, he greeted me warmly while mentioning the dress rules weren't as stringent as they once were.

My pals upon seeing me weren't as kind.

That’s bravery right there, going into the great Costco scrum. Worse than two-a-days. Best to just stay near the food court and escape with your soul.

Tell us true.

It was the ascot and the walking stick.

Everyone knows this is fake.

You only wear a chocolate brown buttondown shirt with that suit and tie combo.

AI will never take over the world until they can clean up their sartorial issues.

Their holiday buffets were the bomb. Never missed an Easter until I retired.

And only a man with a modicum of insouciance can pull off that look.

(See, Crazed Hoosier, some of the rest of us can get “insouciance” on the board, too. Hit us with your next big, high-brow word.)

The 70+ aged high rollers have abandoned me over the holidays this year.

In the past their wives and kids took cruises around Christmas time and they stayed home along with going to "work" at their offices.

Not so this year, they are joining their families on the high seas.

All have promised to meet and celebrate my birthday in January.

Conversations in January will undoubtedly include hearing about the super high rollers they met on the cruise.

Make sure you get a nice gold chain to go with the Adidas track suits. #BDE

Bulk, had a Catholic and avid Demorat friend from Baltimore who could hardly wait to rub elbows with members of the Columbia Club in Indy.

He thought the Columbia Club was an affiliate of the Knights of Columbus.

Needless to say, his chats at the bar with the CC members didn't go as he expected.

NOOOOO And he has to buy it from Ed Pinkly! The Pinkly Taurus!!

I’m just Fing with brad. Our time isn’t up yet Joe. You know that.

Saw these two lovebirds made their first red carpet appearance she posted. I love young love. They’re a cute couple

The Democrat avatar, The Indianapolis Athletic Club, sold their facility a number of years ago. Played a lot of hoops and racquetball there.
He would have been among his own there...me, not so much.

Polling & Public Opinion: The good, the bad, and the ugly

Introduction to an edition of the Brookings Review that focuses on polling, public opinion, and politics.

www.brookings.edu

Mass, above is a good essay about the good and bad of polling.

Polls are kinda like our elections whereby the informed and uninformed exercise their opinions about who is the better candidate. Then once in office we take polls as to their performance.

Can we trust the opinions of voters and the techniques of pollsters? Only if they confirm our own opinions. .

Oversampling certain demographic groups has nothing to do with 'our own opinions'.
But you knew that .

The Democrat avatar, The Indianapolis Athletic Club, sold their facility a number of years ago. Played a lot of hoops and racquetball there.
He would have been among his own there...me, not so much.

Was a member of Indianapolis Athletic Club in the 1970s.

The Dem watering hole at the club was a bar called the McHale Room.

As a Rockefeller Republican found the Indy Dem elites at the McHale Room to be way more conservative than I was. As a comparatively young businessman trying to blend in, kept my mouth shut and just listened.

Mass, like you, was also really big into racquetball at the time. Facility at the IAC was excellent as was the Jewish Community Center.

P.S. Back then enjoyed both the IAC and JCC without being either a Democrat or Jewish.
