I didn't think there was anything hip about him . I was floored that he went to the UN without a tie. Plus, his suit looked like it was a Wal-Mart purchase. I thought he looked about as hip as a cab driver.

Also, there is nothing diplomatic about showing up to a body of "stody red-tie wearing asses" and not wearing a tie. You just insult the rest of them by not showing enough respect for the group. I suspect the author makes a point of going to job interviews with two days growth of beard an no tie, too. Then he complains because he is still unemployed.

Just wondering... If Yglesias had been alive in the 1930's, would he have also found a stubby little mustache, riding pants and high black boots "pretty sweet hipster style?"

Is there really anything to say besides this being a victory of style over substance? Perhaps THE exemplar of that notion?

As usual,. the Republicans in the room have no sense of humor. If you now Yglesias's style, you'd know that the comment was completely tongue in cheek. It may not be that funny, but it was meant to be.

There is nothing lighthearted about a madman Holocaust denier wants to wipe Israel off the face of the earth. Worse, the comments on his blog post demonstrate just how far off planet earth the left is.

Perhaps if those on the left tempered these lighthearted posts with some genuine outrage at the real threat to the world then we could take a moment to laugh at Iranian nutjob.

You have to remember that the 20-somethings out there think it's cool to show up places wearing suits with their shirt tails untucked and flip-flops on their feet.

I blame their mommas.

Hackonmydinnerjacket has a classic case of small man syndrome. Notice me, please notice me!

*It all starts with a beard not unlike the one I and many of my twentysomething male friends sport.*

Because his female friends usually sport mutton chops or a simple soul patch (which is really so out, but what do the girls know about fashion?).

--if this comment does not cause you to laugh, you simply don't know my style and should get with the program. I'm the david foster wallace of the blogosphere. and that's still not funny.
