Hair Watch: Makeover Madness
From the Washington Times:
Image is everything
“Nobody asked us, but we felt it was our civic duty to help these [presidential] candidates look their best,” explains Pirooz Sarshar, co-founder of the Grooming Lounge barbershop in downtown Washington.
“I guarantee the ticket that follows our advice will be sitting pretty in the White House this time next year,” he says, echoing this column’s observations that more attention is being paid to the candidates’ looks than their stance on issues.
Without further ado, the Grooming Lounge’s tips:
•President Bush: Cut your hair closer to eliminate excess puffiness and flyaways, which make you look less refined.
•Vice President Dick Cheney: Shave your head or crop your hair ultra close to give you a younger, stronger look.
•Sen. John Kerry: Bring down the height of your hair to create a closely cropped style more in line with your face shape. And trim your eyebrows.
•Sen. John Edwards: Add some texture to your hair to eliminate “helmet head” and make you seem less boyish and more sophisticated.

Why is City of God sitting atop your DVD player and why aren’t you watching it, now? It’s one of the best films of the year. Watch it.
P.S. There is no “open forum” on TurkeyMonkey. Obviously this post has nothing to do with John Kerry’s hair, but where else can I post this? Please advise.
P.P.S. Speaking of John Kerry’s hair, did you hear Obama’s speech last night? I want to vote for him for President. How can put his name on the ticket by November?

Another usage comment…I have a typo in my above post. Is there a way for me to correct it or am I now forever on the record as being an idiot?

Hey Gwynne,
1. City of God is sitting atop my DVD player — has been for over two weeks — because I’m a big ol’ chicken when it comes to subtitles, pure and simple.
2. We here at TurkeyMonkey don’t believe in open forums. They are the devil’s work.
3. I heard part of Obama’s speech on the news, and yes, indeed, he’s quite the charmer. But he also has a completely lackluster head of hair. Kind of a sloppy military buzz-cut. And his smile was a little amorphous, too. As eager as the Democratic party is to make this guy into the Next Big Thing! I’m always a little skeptical of the future of politicians who are market-tested and launched at conventions. Remember JC Watts?
4. I think I’ve corrected the mistake in your post. The only way that I know of to fiddle with comments is by going into the Movable Type editing screen. I’ll send you a password and login so that you can monkey to your heart’s content.
And by the way, you already put yourself on the record as an idot when you slandered the South Beach Diet book.

Gwynne, your typing is so careless! I can’t believe you misspelled Osama!
