I have long had a theory<\/span> that, again, has proven to be accurate due to recent events. Please consider the following photos and see if you can guess the connection:<\/p>\n

Rod Blagojevich <\/span>(left)<\/span>: Current Illinois governor who was just arrested in a corruption scandal<\/a>.<\/p>\n

John Edwards<\/span> <\/span>(middle)<\/span>: <\/span>Former presidential candidate and former U.S. Senator who was outed for having an adulterous affair<\/a> while his wife was being treated for cancer.<\/p>\n

Ted Haggard<\/span> <\/span>(right)<\/span>: <\/span>Former big-time pastor and leader of the National Association of Evangelicals, who resigned in 2006 after a big same-sex prostitution\/methamphetamine scandal<\/a> broke.<\/p>\n

Q: <\/span>What do all these guys have in common, other than being white, powerful, and scandalous?<\/span><\/p>\n

A: <\/span>Each of them has overly coiffed hair.<\/span><\/p>\n

The implications of this are clear: Men who are too fussy about their hair should not be trusted. In this context, “fussiness” can be defined by the following conditions:<\/p>\n

1) <\/span>The use of an inordinate amount of product in one’s hairstyle.<\/p>\n

2) <\/span>The need for a brush to maintain said hairstyle.<\/p>\n

3) <\/span>Feathering<\/p>\n

And I say this fully aware that yesterday I admitted to my own indiscretions<\/a> related to hair fussiness. Though I don’t have enough hair to brush or feather, clearly I am not to be trusted either.<\/p>\n

Anyway, I contend that all men should either shave their heads, maintain simple haircuts, or wear hats…just to stay out of trouble. Never trust a pastor wearing a toupee, and never trust a man with feathery hair.<\/p>\n
