Straight Eye for the Scottish Guy

As I was scrolling through my morning media clips, this article regarding State Representative Sue Jeskewitz’s plan to designate a state Tartan caught my eye.

I was particularly amused by the following paragraph:

St. Andrews Society’s McWilliam described the design as "very manly and masculine. But at the same time, women would say, 'If that was done in silk, that would be a stunning ball gown.”

Personally, I’m conflicted about the plan to designate a state Tartan. On the one hand I shudder to think this is what our elected state officials are actually spending their time debating.

On the other, it’s a relief to know they’re not thinking of new ways to spend my money or infringe on my liberties.
