Good morning Tribbers!
John Baer connects some dots in the Pennsylvania’s Pornogate scandal.
Tim Kaine wants to “constrain the president’s unilateral power to make war”, a power I don’t believe actually HAS.
Leon Panetta is complaining about ISIL and Iraq and other things too.
Meanwhile, Reince Priebus (a man whose name sounds like a venereal disease) says that the insane abortion restrictions in Texas are all about compassion.
I will be spending the day at a golf fundraiser for my job, making the rich donors happy. So here -for the gents- is an instructional piece on how to dress business casual. It’s not that difficult, but I need a few more odd jackets (don’t we all).
And finally, a little music. Gus Cannon’s Jug Band Stompers with a mournful little piece…
…and something a little peppier:
Enjoy your day!
Read the link on “Business casual”. Glad I don’t have to give a shit about that. I love the fact that my wearing a tie puts me at the dressier end of my profession.
I live in the far north where “dressed up” is a T-shirt with sleeves (clean flannel in the winter). I thought that article was absolute nonsense.
Brendan wearing business casual? No way.
Pictures or it didn’t happen.
I don’t know how to post pictures on BMT, but I’m VERY comfortable in a suit, formal OR casual.
I was covering a planning commission meeting some years ago when a proposed golf course was under consideration. One lady who showed up to testify against it said she was strongly opposed because she didn’t want to be subjected to golfers, which sounded pretty reasonable to me.
ILLINOIS FOLKS!
Cook County Clerk David Orr reminds suburban Cook County residents that the deadline to register to vote in the Nov. 4 Gubernatorial General Election is Tuesday, Oct. 7.
Any voter with a driver’s license or state ID can register to vote online. Residents may also register in person by visiting the Clerk’s downtown office (69 W. Washington St., Fifth floor, Chicago), a municipal or township office, or one of the Clerk’s five suburban courthouse locations:
In order to register, applicants must have two pieces of identification, including one containing a current address.
Qualified applicants must be a United States citizen, at least 18 years old by the Nov. 4 election, and a resident of his or her precinct for at least 30 days prior to the election. Voters who have recently moved must re-register at their current address prior to the deadline

IF YOU LIVE IN CHICAGO
Chicago Board of Elections
69 W. Washington, SIXTH FLOOR
Chicago
……………………………………
REMINDER:
IF you have an Illinois Drivers License or Illinois State ID
AND
You intend to register to vote from the address on your License/State ID..
YOU CAN DO ONLINE PAPERLESS REGISTRATION
Here is the link:
https:/ova.elections.il.gov
HINT: whatever is on the DL/State ID is how you have to apply. Don’t deviate. The way they do paperless is that they use the Secretary of State’s Database to confirm your information. The information you use to fill out the application MUST match what is on the DL/State ID.
Glad you posted that!
Isn’t there also some kind of grace period coming up where you can register and vote at the same time?
If you need to read an article on how to dress business casual, you have a lot of issues.
Just sayin.
Youd be surprised..
Considering Pornogate, just the latest in seemingly endless reports of really dumb things that people do on employer computers, not surprising that employees would require instruction in “business casual.”
A few decades ago, such instructions weren’t necessary because people grew up and lived in an environment of formal and informal dress codes. At school, work, and church and on tennis courts and golf courses. With more freedom, people have less sense wrt to appropriate dress for certain occasions.
And Leon Panetta is a f+++wad. He’s angling for a job in Clinton II, or he’s acting as a surrogate so she can distance herself from Obama. Not the kind of Democrat we need.
Maybe it’s the age gap, But I consider polo shirts to be business casual, especially with certain pants, shoes, and a belt. I wear them to work all the time, though the dress is really relaxed here except among managers.
