First of All, She Looks Good Bald

Second, I've wanted to shave my head plenty of times. Hair gets annoying.

Third and why I care, compare the story about Spears to this 2004 campaign story by the NYT's poisonous Wilgoren. I wrote about it first here. You get the same breathless gossippy tone, the same unnamed sourcing and irresponsible speculation. "It looks terrible," says one fan not impressed with Britney's head. "I don't want him bicycling," says Charlie Rangel.

One of Mr. Kerry's confidants said Mr. Kerry had expressed frustration that the campaign seemed unable to gain any traction in recent weeks.

Other Democrats criticized what they see as a too-cautious campaign, relying too heavily on the election being a referendum on an unpopular president.

Meanwhile, an e-mail on Tuesday from Spears' former assistant said the pop star needs to get her act together because she is headed for "rock bottom."

Felicia Culotta worked for the 25-year-old pop star for nearly 10 years.

Culotta wrote an e-mail that was posted on the Web site ThatOtherBlog.com. It was addressed to "Ruben" who reportedly runs the Web site.

I can't imagine why more people don't vote.

When a dead woman is getting more press than you, the obvious response is to shave your head.

LOL - there's an obvious response? Congress should look like cueballs :)
