Follicular surrender
One cherished year-end ritual on the right-wing internet comes to us from the purveyors of fine trolling at the Washington Free Beacon, in the form of their “Man of the Year” competition. One of this year’s contenders is a whole category near and dear to me: the baldie.
From the WFB wind-up:
As arguably the most prominent female- and minority-led media outlet in America, the Washington Free Beacon is committed to driving inclusive progress informed by our firm belief that representation matters. That's why we are so honored to present this Man of the Year award to a historically marginalized demographic that took the political world by storm in 2022.
Bald freaks.
And the pitch, right across home plate:
William, Duke of Cambridge, became William, Prince of Wales, and his stupid thumb-shaped head kept popping up on our screens because his younger brother married a psychopath. Senators Raphael Warnock (D., Ga.) and Mark Kelly (D., Ariz.) cruised to reelection despite the best efforts of NRSC chairman Rick Scott, who looks like the thing that busts out of that guy's chest in Alien. He's still easier on the eyes than John Fetterman, the trust-fund ogre who won the U.S. Senate race in Pennsylvania by wearing cargo shorts and having a stroke.
And be sure to check out the case they make for a little-known congressional candidate who added new meaning to the term “layup,” uh, to mangle the sportsball metaphors.
[Note to self: crib more WFB content if you’re low on ideas…or just whenever.]
And I tend to think of WFB as standing for William F Buckley.
By the way on some men bald is pretty sexy...proof is Vin Diesel and The Rock for two...lol
It is better than the comb overs for sure
