Hairy

This weekend, I dashed off a light story about Trump's hair. On closer inspection, this seemingly-frivolous topic has startling ramifications. I plan to return to the subject later this day, unless the Very Stable Genius creates new havoc that demands my attention.

This has turned out to be a fascinating line of investigation. Even if you think you know the story, I plan to bop your noggin with the fresh and the freaky, because the tale behind Trump's hair is even weirder than the hair itself.

Until then, take a look at this piece about a failed infrastructure project in Mike Pence's Indiana. Why is this story of national importance? Because this farrago of corruption and poor decisions will probably provide the template for Trump's proposed infrastructure plan. The mishandling of the Puerto Rico disaster should have sounded the sirens: When Trump says "infrastructure," he means handing out millions to his pals and patrons.

If Mike the Inbred Ferret had a D behind the Pence the I 69 debacle would be top of the fold news for weeks. Apparently being republican means never worrying about indictments back home in Indiana.

"When his father returns much later in the morning, David notices an unusual red puncture along the hairline on the back of his father's neck; his father is now behaving in a cold and hostile manner. David soon begins to realize something is very wrong: he notices certain townsfolk are acting in exactly the same way."
