On Friday, March 7, reason Editor in Chief and McCain: Myth of a Maverick author Matt Welch appeared on Bill Moyers Journal with former Congressman, Heritage Foundation co-founder, and Reclaiming Conservatism author Mickey Edwards. The main topic of their conversation: What is the relationship between presumptive Republican presidential nominee John McCain, the Relgious Right, and the future of conservative politics? And just what the hell "conservative politics" means anymore.

Is there some some kind of rule against Reason editors wearing ties? Just askin'; I always try to dress up (or down) to match the other people in the room.
The thing about ties is that they're bullshit. Fucking symbolic leashes, they are.
Ties suck. I avoid them whenever possible, which isn't often because I have to wear one Mon-Thurs.
I stopped wearing ties when my neck got fatter but my arms stayed the same length.
When I realized my $30 tie was little more than a bib for my $20 shirt, I decided that was really stupid and stopped wearing them except when absolutely necessary (weddings, funrals and the like)
Episiarch, is Friday hawaiian shirt day?
I wish; I could dress like Magnum and that would be sweet. No, I
just don't have to wear a tie on Fridays--but no jeans!
ARRGGHH

What about the Fonz on reason.tv? I've seen him on several
occasions still wearing that awesome leather jacket.
The Fonz doesn't dress up or down for nobody!
For me, every work day is Hawaiian shirt day. So am I gay guy or a big fat party animal? Discuss.
You could be a private investigator who drives the Ferrari and
lives in the guest house of a famous but never seen writer, with
said house being overseen by some English dude with Dobermans named
Apollo and Zeus.
But I doubt you're that cool.
The thing about ties is very libertarian. Wearing a tie because you have too is very oppressive. It's literally a noose around your neck. Wearing a tie because you want to dress up and look good is enjoyable. You look good, you feel good, and every girl's crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man.
Wow, sometimes the reactions to posts are so mind-bogglingly stupid that you have to wonder about libertarians. Such an intelligent magazine--such a doltish readership!
No ties, and the top three buttons are just for display. Can't go out in public without displaying the magnificent chest rug.

Or that gay.

I've read that they're phallic symbols.

As in: "That's right ladies, I have a red and yellow striped
penis."?
