Hugh Hefner gives $2,300 to Clinton’s ’08 campaign
The Democrats have long been supported by those whose lives are wrapped up in pornography. Recall how Larry Flynt was the guest of John F. Kennedy Jr. at the 1999 White House Correspondents Dinner.
And Scipio remembers with fondness this article on the ‘porn belt,’ a charming area of our nation that oddly conforms to exactly those areas where Democrats are in the majority.
This headline
John McCain to call for less spending
is on Drudge this morning right above this article.
John Edwards’ campaign for president spent $400 on February 20, and another $400 on March 7, at a top Beverly Hills men’s stylist, Torrenueva Hair Designs.
Was McCain speaking of sweet little metrosexual boy-toy Edwards?
John Edwards, he of ‘two Americas’ fame, he of wife Elizabeth who fears ‘rabid, rabid Republicans,’ spends $800 a month on his hair.
The Democrats simply never cease to amaze. Their candidates have filthy mouths and pompous demeanors, exhibit treasonous behavior and are not above staining a dress or two. And now they present as a possible leader of this Republic a pretty-boy vain little fop like Edwards?
The Democrat Party has no men, only silly little girly types who are afraid of war, spend hours on their hair, seek out the votes of sexually confused semi-males and court the money of pornographers.
Here are more possible Democrat contenders, from Nancy Pelosi’s district.
I wonder how much these, umm…’guys’ spend on their hair?
Scipio spends zero on his hair, as he cuts it himself.
He used to never cut it, but has since abandoned such ways.
Say, I wonder how much this guy spends on his hair?

So Mike, you were the drummer for Grand Funk RR?
Sorry, couldn’t pass that one up. Just a quick observation about the 1st and 2nd photographs. I would trust those two “fellas” in the makeup before I would trust the Breck Boy. They don’t hide what they are.
I go to a korean barber shop that charges me $8 for the haircut and $15 for the highlights… but since I’m a student I’m given a discount and it all costs $20. Just supporting my local business.
But anyways, I wouldn’t trust Edwards. His health care plans are about as fishy as anything. He actually wants to take income out of your check for this national health care mumbo jumbo that he wants to build. More bureaucracy for a country that needs less government.
Dear Mike: Actually, I am more of a Mark Farner type, the guitarist for the great Grand Funk Railroad. And a fine point about those two…’men.’ They have more huevos than the silly boy Edwards. Of course, all three would be useless in a bar fight.
Dear Giancarlo: Since I decided that my hear would be forever ultra-short I have saved a bundle on barbers, perhaps $250 a year for the last 4 years!
Exactly the case with Edwards and all his Democrat ilk—more bureaucracy and more government.
My hair unfortunately grows like a weed… I have to get it cut or I end up looking like an emo rocker type. Eh… not thanks. I usually spike it up… I do take some care of myself… but I’m not on the left. LOL. Center of right. 🙂
Scipio, Breck-Girl looks like those Television Lawyers, telling you that they can get you a gazillion dollars for your car accident. Oh wait; he was/is one of those people. Arrgg. (Shakespeare was right…Kill All The Lawyers…)
Mike said it pretty well with his observation of your early picture. Drummer of Grand Funk Railroad, though you look a little like Dan Fogelberg too. Ah the memories of youth and all that. lol
I too cut my own hair, and save a bundle too, though I cut my locks for more quixotic reasons. My fiancé is taking chemotherapy and though in the beginning she kept her hair, but as the toxins pollute her system, so her hair is slowly falling out. (Her hair is her everything. Long, (down to her bottom), cinnamon in color and once her pride and joy). So taking clippers in hand, I shaved my head as my way of making her loss a tiny bit easier for her. (Has not helped, but at least I try).
Pothus
Dear Giancarlo: I spiked it a bit in Argentina, but that was ten years and 15 pounds ago. Now if I did that I would look a bit odd!
Dear Pothus: You are indeed a Real Man. Your fiancée is lucky—as I am sure that you are as well. You have both now joined my prayer list.
And I simply adore long hair on women. It has been a great weakness if mine. But no more, alas.
Ack! Dan Fogelberg? I could never get into his music. Neither he nor James Taylor. I always listened to all those black blues guys from Detroit and Chicago.
And the last lawyer should be strangled with the entrails of the last New York Times editor.
Scipio, thank you for your kind words and prayers. I know Shelly really needs them.
As for my comment about Dan Fogelberg, I never thought you actually looked like him, but resembled. lol. Sorry for making you gag. I like Dan Fogelberg, (His Twin Sons from Different Mother’s album was probably his best. IMHO). My musical tastes have greatly changed over the years, as I am getting older and pushing 50. (Sheesh I cannot believe I am almost a half century), I have gone from classical to now Alternative-Rock. (IE: Breaking Benjamin, Godsmack, Puddle of Mudd, for example), to even some good old rockabilly/bluegrass. (Alison Krauss and the like). When I lived in Missouri, The Ozark Mountain Daredevils used to play at my High School. That was pretty cool.
Sorry, for the OT post, but I wanted to thank you again.
Pothus
Dear Pothus: Only pushing 50? Why, you are a young buck in his prime! My favorite music is classical and Latin American—classical because the first sounds I remember as a child was Tchaikovsky played on my mother’s 78 RPMs, and Latin because of my 14 years spent south of the Rio Grande.
