Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow
Presumably that is the idea behind this report on how much Presidential hopeful John Kerry pays for a haircut.
Democrat all-star John Kerry of Massachusetts is positioning himself as a populist politician while he takes the first step for a White House run...But the self-described "Man of The People" pays $150 to get his hair styled and shampooed -- the cost of feeding a family of three for two weeks!
Excuse me, but who cares? He's paying for it himself. If he wishes to use his own money to pay for styling his hair, that's his business. He's not charging this to the taxpayers by submitting it for reimbursement. He pays taxes like the rest of us and should be willing to pay additional to fund the programs he advocates. How he spends his discretionary income is not anyone else's concern, as long as it's legal. Surely there are other issues to press on. This is ludicrous.

As I am fond of saying, Drudge isn't a real journalist; he just plays one on the internet.

Did he lie about a BJ while he got the haircut?

Having just viewed Kerry's hair styling, it is obvious he is being grossly overcharged by his barber. This is the kind of fiscal mismanagement that has our government paying $1,000.00 for hammers. He is obviously unfit to be president.
