Hare-brained hair (Wizbang)

I realize that, as a balding man, I'm really not in any position to critique other men's tonsorial choices, but recently I've seen two men whose hair desperately cried out for mocking. And since I am too cowardly to do it to their faces, I'll do it here.

The first was a youngish guy, about 18 or so. He'd shaved his head, but he had a beard. No mustache, just a full Lincolnesque beard. It looked like his sideburns had kept growing and growing until they met at his chin. Just a giant "U" of hair on his face.

The second guy was an older guy, in his 50's or so. He'd also shaved his head, but he'd missed a bit. He had a single band of hair running across the front of his head, a couple inches above and parallel to his eyebrows. It was about 1/4" wide, and cut to about 1/4" long. He had a bushy mustache, mostly gray but with hints of blond in it. It was all finished with a goatee, which was about 6" long and died navy blue.

I'd chalk it up to my being a premature old fart, but the second guy has about 20 years on me. Am I just that much out of touch with modern fashion and mores?

Nah, I don't care. I'll just keep laughing at them (on the inside, of course, out of concern for my personal safety.)

Wizbang Blue: Iraq PM Maliki Calls for US Troop Withdrawl in 16 Months

Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki says it is time for President Bush to commit to a withdrawal timetable, and has endorsed the timetable for withdrawal put forth by Democratic Presidential candidate Senator Barack Obama that calls for a 16 month timeframe. In addition, al-Maliki has specifically stated the situation in Iraq does not call for the kind of long-term (100 year) presence in Iraq as outlined and promoted by Republican nominee John McCain.

Saves me a couple of hundred bucks a year, and it looks better than 80% of the haircuts I've had in my life.

Well if we are going to make fun of guys haircuts, can I please add to the list the "I just got out of bed and forgot to brush my hair" look. I have seen this on a few women, but mostly it seems to be a guy style, and it just looks sloppy, makes me want to go brush their hair for them, then take them to the nearest barber or hairstylist for a real cut.
