I do not understand the "controversy" over American Idol.

'course I don't understand the draw of American Idol.

Good thrifting day. 1/2 off clothing at the local Thrift Store. Picked up a Field Gear (old Marshall Field house brand) navy sailing jacket and a pair of white, light weight, duck pants. Previous scores have been a blue OC Brooks Bros. shirt , a silk and something odd jacket from an unknown label and a DB black wool top coat. I don't think If spent more than $30 total.

I think it a shame when you walk into a restaurant and the wait staff, dressed all in black and wearing ties, is still better dressed than the patrons.
