Going Commando

I remember the first time I heard the phrase, and its meaning, used as the title to this post.  I laughed my keister off, with my underwear on.  The phrase came to mind, a moment ago, when I read an article in the Bowling Green Daily News titled “Congressional forum studies ‘Campbellsville Comeback’." The story details how the town of Campbellsville handled Fruit of the Loom’s offshore outsourcing of about 3,200 jobs.  As evidenced by the following, from the article, Campbellsville didn’t get their panties in a knot, they went commando.

"Instead of giving up, the city pulled together. The town has since added 13 new employers, including Amazon.com. More than 3,700 jobs have been created from those employers and expansions from others."
