Bald Eagles
The Economist's political cartoonist believes that Fred Thompson's chances may improve were he to cover up the shiny dome nature has given him.
Now while I admit the Maggie looks like it suits Fred quite well, I am very much offended by the implication that voters will only consider those with a full head of hair to be worthy candidates. This is just as bad as the recent discovery that Hillary Clinton has breasts! Discrimination against an entire subset of the population based on a physical characteristic!
Actually, this distaste for shiny-topped leadership is even more serious than the breast issue. To quote the great Canadian philosopher Red Green, "This is the worst kind of discrimination. It's against me!"
Please excuse me while I go mourn my receding hairline and the end of my dreams for political office.
