 Speaking of plugs, Joe Biden might just have the worst looking hair/plugs in the entire Congress.



What do you mean might? ???

Well, I only said that because I don't what they all look like.  I'll clarify better... I can't imagine anyone looking worse than Joe Biden.  How's that?

Pulling from my old history degree ... Eisenhower was pretty close to being a sly bald guy.  He certainly never tried to hide it.  I once read, or heard at a dress for success thing, that people in politics and business who hide baldness are often judged as having other things to hide ...

Ike was also a headshaver.  I read a biography of him years ago that had some photos that showed him and Mamie on vacation somewhere on a boat -- in a warm climate somewhere (I forget where exactly) and he had shaved his head to keep cool.  Sly guy WAY before his time. 8)

Have to dig around grandma's attic and see if I can find an old "I Like Ike" button!

And back in ol' Ike's day, there wasn't a mass media stigma about being bald... that didn't start happening until the mid to late 60's...
