Politician's hair; this is a subject that deeply distresses MySpouse. MySpouse is a registered Republican. He said this just yesterday which is why I retained it. Most times I don't recall which political party he is affiliated with altho he's always calm about my asking every four years.
People get killed doing political stuff. I prefer to avoid politics; if it's not dangerous, it's boring.
Since I'm not a clown in the circus of politics, there's something I've noticed: the dude with the hair gets picked. I shared this observation with MySpouse and he got a little upset. If it was women doing the choosing, I would understand. You never see bald guys in "Playgirl" or Avon brochures.
But it's not women. It's a bunch of silverbacks in the Good Ol' Boys club doing the choosing. I think it's hilarious, personally. Must be their latent homosexuality expressing itself.
Joking aside, I think that the various media that we entertain and inform ourselves with is somewhat responsible. Electing a politician in this era has a lot to do with who's photogenic, who's got the sound bite, the catchy quip, the cool slogan...the hair. None of those things would matter without the media to promote them.
We could elect someone for their performance in a political office, for the dignity of their name(see post for 6/26/07), for their morals and values...instead of the wave in their hair.
