sue me but I think most men look bad and "old" with grey hair. I would do the same thing if I was his age.

someone asked if Dan Rather thought Reagan dyed his hair. Rather replied the he was just prematurely orange. After that I noticed that the dye job became less orangy.

No Caucasian should ever dye their hair a true black, because even if their hair was black in their youth, as they get older, skin tones change, and the black invariably looks artificial. Those of African, Asian, and Native American extraction can get away with the black.

Also, there comes a point when a person needs to stop dying the hair. I'm a year or so younger than Romney and I have lovely, long silver gray hair, which looks a lot better than a bad dye job would. Back when I was still coloring it, I got it done professionally, and it always looked good. My sister, who colors her hair herself, usually has an inch and a half of roots showing, and it's usually not a color that is really working for her. Oh, well. She doesn't ask me my opinion, and I don't volunteer it.

is priceless. If no one has ever seen Obama good and properly pissed off, that is the photo to show them.

Good Gawd he looks irate! So glad he opened that can of Whoop-Ass on Romney!
