I went to an outdoor wedding yesterday and saw some people rockin' the short sleeve dress shirt look. There were even at least 3 guys with the short sleeve dress shirt and a tie. Even though it was about 90 degrees when we got there, I insisted on wearing my suit jacket and tie. I regretted that decision and immediately after the ceremony, I went up to the car and hung the jacket up. By the time the cocktail hour was over and everyone was in the tent for the meal, there was no one wearing a jacket and only about 10 guys with ties still on. My tie was off right after I finished eating. It was just brutal. There were even a couple of young kids running around shirtless in the grassy area next to the tent where the reception was.

All that being said, I'd rather be hot and uncomfortable than be comfortable and wearing a short sleeve shirt with a tie.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio
