...people want their clothes to present them in as thin and as fit a manner as possible. Why else would a larger man like the guy on the airplane stuff his limbs into leg-leotards better suited for the thighs of a twelve-year-old girl? When the men who wear skinny jeans purchase their jeans, they do so merely because they can squeeze into them and enjoy the satisfaction of fitting into the smallest possible pair with the same waist size as the other pants they usually wear. (I would argue that the same is true of tight...
...realize that this is a contentious issue and that I will probably lose friends over the course of this little polemic. I am not here to argue that men should wear, as The New York Times’s Guy Trebay recently complained, “mommy jeans or pants reminiscent of Ted Danson in ‘Cheers.’” I am merely attempting to facilitate dialogue on an unaddressed problem...
Barack Obama believed in the system. At least, that is what he told America. So, who was the guy in the Oval Office behind closed curtains in secret meetings with Congressional Democrats about healthcare legislation?

In an age when sports allegiances begin at birth, there I was, rooting for the lowly Vikings, never more aware that Brett Favre is one of the few sports icons who transcend franchise or position...
...Wall Street guy. This is just wrong. Bernanke is a Main Street guy, a middle-class kid from small-town Dillon, S.C., whose father actually owned a pharmacy on Main Street. He has never worked on Wall Street. He's an academic who studied the Depression and learned how financial panic can lead to economic calamity. He bailed out bankers not to reward their bad behavior but to prevent that bad behavior from crippling the global economy. It's not his fault the markets like him. (See why TIME chose Ben Bernanke as Person of the Year...
