| Hillary Rodham Clinton admits she’s never been good at coiffure — and that being secretary of state is an endless bad hair day. “I do not travel with any hairdresser, or anybody, to help me do that, and I’m not very competent myself,” she dished to ABC’s Barbara Walters. “I’ve been admitting that for years, which should be obvious to everyone,” she joked in an interview. Since she came to national attention as Bill Clinton’s headband-wearing spouse, her more-than-40 different hairstyles and lengths have received constant scrutiny.

She isn´t very good at shampoo either. What a bunch of garage, with her connections she could find someone to give her pointers a good style even she could do just takes effort.

What a load of bull-squeeze, as Neil Boortz would say. She has an entourage that Ari Gold would envy. This is a cultivated shabby look. I´m a-guessin´ that in the spring of 2016 [Mayan calendar permitting], the Beast will emerge with a perfect hairdo and a few lbs less.
The oxymoron of this story is the word ´joked´ in any quote involving the Hildabeest.

Her explanation just doesn´t wash. I know dozens of busy working women who do just fine caring for their hair and general appearance. Not being able to care for your own good grooming and hygiene is a sign of senility, not of an overly busy schedule.

I have my hair cut ever five weeks. I wash it every other day. It´s a good cut that I can are for easily and my hair always looks much better than Herself´s dirty hair. She looked very good during her run for the presidency.
It can be done.

Her hair usually looks lank, dirty. Any dummy can wash her hair in the shower. Assuming she showers?
She needs to give up the debutante length and get a good cut. The slicked back ponytail is better than just letting the whole mess hang there.
She is not a particularly attractive woman and her age is showing. The hair is not helping.
I agree with those who believe this is her schtick, the "I don´t care about hair--I have loftier things on my mind" persona she tries to reflect. Good old gravitas.

In today’s vapid, superficial, political milieu, image is everything. When it comes to issues of vital national and international importance, it’s nevertheless difficult somehow to visualize Wife Hillary’s coiffure, conveniently located around her head, without also visualizing Husband Bill’s trousers, conveniently located around his ankles.

Hillary Clinton has changed her hair style more times than I can count. Queen Elizabeth has kept the same style for 60+ years. The Queen doesn´t look like she fusses much about her hair, but she certainly doesn´t go out with it dirty.

I have sympathy for Hillary´s aging problem as I share the same birth-year. But a good haircut and color once every four weeks costs me $100 in rural NH and even given the higher costs of DC or NYC it surely is within her price range! She just doesn´t care.
PS All the women who won the Democrat NH elections are either lesbians or look like lesbians: it is a point of honor among them to not be attractive to men.

Republican women usually look better groomed on TV than Dem women. Even Madeline Albright was well groomed. (She did the best she could with what she had to work with.) My hair stylist gives me a haircut that will look good for several months. Certainly PIAPS can afford a decent hair style that will be easy to maintain.

Well, when she was campaigning for Pres. back in 08 her hair did look good. Someone was with her to style it and fix it. So she can come through when there is a game.
I share her age plus a few more and gave up the hot rollers and curling irons long ago. Just find some one to cut your hair the way it grows so that all you have to do in the morning is run a brush through it. Even the wind cannot damgage it. This isn´t rocket science, she just doesn´t care. If she can´t care about her personal appearance then she doesn´t care enough to hold the job she has or even being President of the USA. We already have one of those and it is disasterous. I am pretty sick of all of them.

Condaleeza Rice always looked like she just stepped out of a band box (old expression for looking fabulous). In fact, her hair and dress style improved in her years as SOS. And, she was always a lady.
As another poster said, PIAPS (I´ve missed that expression) does think we´re fools to buy this BS and may prove to be right come 2016. Barbara et al will help her along and whitewash her past. For some reason, Americans have very short memories.

For the first time in my life, I agree with her. I have a bad hair life, and the ONLY way to keep it under control is keep it long and braided. It´s baby fine, very straight, very thick, and grows very fast. Perms don´t take, styles don´t stay in (yes, with both mousse and spray), and I can´t afford to get it fixed every day (which she could), AND I have to be at work at six in the morning. Shorter hair clings to my head like a seal pelt. Medium hair loses all body within hours. And the braid is usually fuzzed out by the end of the day.

Glad I wasn´t drinking coffee when I read #35 so I just spewed cracker & cream cheese, haha. As a woman, I do sympathize with any woman´s hair issues, and boy does Hill has ´em in spades. Probably the worst to me is when she pulls it back. She finally stumbled upon a winning do last night though not sure it was her real hair. Her short-to-midlength page boy was also pretty good, I think.

I never understand all the attention we conservatives give to this women’s appearance. Get over it, she just looks like the middle age supervisor at most offices in America. (And frankly she dresses better than most, considering office casual is now something my Mom would have not worn to shop at Waymart’s.) I said this before, she is not running for the acting role of Secretary of State, she IS the Secretary of State, an Office that does not have a dress code other then look nice and decent. Ok, She has no taste what so ever in her choices and, well hair has never been a priority. But let’s be truthful here, no matter what she looked like all the above post would find fault. We don’t like her politics, period, but that has nothing to do with her hair, I have seen many male politicians who would benefit with some pointers on how not to cover his bald spot. You guys would never have let Israel’s great Prime Minister Golda Meir through the door!

#22 and #43 had me laughing.
I agree w/ #3. As soon as she resigns as SoS, she´ll be at the exclusive spa, losing weight and having her body re-styled, extreme make-over. She´ll not only shed pounds, but wrinkles. She could donate enough skin to save a burn victim, but she´ll have the doc dispose of it secretly. The cover up will be bigger than Benghazi.

Agree with #46 to some degree. I think we conservatives should refrain from appearance-bashing.
I have a different theory than most here:
Hillary is intentionally letting herself look tired, haggard, and somewhat unkempt. She believes this makes her look "serious" and will convince the public she´s "working hard."
And indeed she seems to be successful in this bit of image-manipulation. She´s an absurdly under-qualified hack who has done nothing but harm; yet polls show the public admires her and thinks she´s doing a great job.

We´ve all learned by now that Hillary´s every move is carefully calculated, with a specific political aim.
Seems plausible that she´s setting everything up for her to wow people in 2015. (Compared to the maximally-frumpy look she´s sporting now, any attempt to look professional will be a notable improvement.)

Secondary suspicion: Hillary has always admired the animal kingdom for having pretty, frivolous males whose principal purpose is reproduction, with the females doing all the important things and expected not to have attention-grabbing appearances.
She seeks not only the Presidency in 2016, but a fundamental transformation of human culture to better-mimic the matriarchial ways of animals, and to marshal all overt authority and influence to women.
She´s never been after just sexual equality. She´s always hoped to effect a radical reversal of sex roles in society. Cultivating this look before she gains the most powerful job in the world is an important step in that plan.

Who really cares about Hilarys straggly hair , at least it goes well with a broomstick.It´s that she is in a position in which she is habitually lieing. She is either travelling abroad or has a summer cold . This enables her to dodge House explainng before many elected politicians about Benghazi such as who gave the ´stand down´ amd Iranian born Jarrett negotiating in Iran for the USA. Bowing to the Saudis , asking for help in delivering arms to the rebels in Syria, it´s mind boggling ! Enough is Enough.

I´m going to defend Hillary a bit, here. Hillary travels the world constantly , while King Barry stays home and luxuriates and relaxes. Going through multiple time zones a couple of times a week is physically exhausting . King Barry sent Richard Holbrooke all over the world and he died suddenly at 69. Barry is and always has been a lazy slob and he makes Hillary and the other women do the heavy lifting. When he travels on our Boing VC-25 , he irritates the traveling media by disappearing into the bedroom for hours , no doubt with his companion Reggie Love . He´s also known to play cards while aboard Air Force One. While Jarrett and Michelle are pouring over policy papers on how to destroy the country, Barry plays Old Maid.

She is just a mess. Period. I don´t care what length her hair is or isn´t. I just think if she has that kind of money and is in the public eye, she should do more to make herself look presentable--even in this day and age of casual everyday. I don´t have the time or physical energy to do much with myself anymore but, unlike her, I can still make myself look okay without much fuss.

Agree with No. 8 - the lib broad in my family actually goes to a barber & gets a style resembling a crew-cut. She looks awful, but she doesn´t seem to care. (She did have those luminere things put on her teeth & now she looks like she wears bright, white dentures). When she was young & cute, she was a cheerleader & a prom queen, but she "found her voice" as a militant feminist & outgrew the desire to please mortal men with her appearance. It´s all about having such big, serious things on your mind that you have no time for frivolous things like grooming doncha know!

However, #50 and #51 have a point. She will look a lot better for 2016.

Frustration is taking its toll in the liberals’ war against guns. President Obama, pushing his broad gun control agenda, said we should be ashamed if we’ve forgotten the Newtown shooting so soon. The New York Times opined that Obama is being shouted down by the “gun lobby,” even though he and Biden had been crisscrossing the country “…making a forceful case for a package of laws that would reduce gun violence.” That, of course, is the media narrative on gun control. For every issue there is a narrative: a set of assumptions and boundaries of thought

GOLFE-JUAN, France—Frank Samson has prepared for a long time to meet his Waterloo. The French lawyer impersonates Napoleon Bonaparte at re-enactment battles, but it is no idle hobby. Mr. Samson has found what he says are perfect replicas of the French general´s gray overcoat, he has studied Napoleon´s native Corsican tongue and he has had himself crowned emperor of France, in a cathedral yet. In 2015, he wants to lead thousands of military enthusiasts into the ultimate re-enactment: the 200th anniversary of the battle of Waterloo in Belgium. But an American rival stands in his way.

Is it time to give up the fight against Obamacare? That’s a question some conservative health-care experts, pundits, and — more quietly — politicians are asking. In the first years after its passage, opponents had hoped that the Supreme Court would strike down the law or that a new president would sign its repeal before most of it took effect. But the Supreme Court decided to modify a few of its provisions instead of striking it down, and President Obama was reelected. Repeal is almost certainly off the table for four years. Obamacare will continue to be implemented.

As the bipartisan Gang of Eight works to complete a comprehensive immigration reform bill, there has been a growing consensus among Senate Republicans that the bill — so far seen by no one outside the Gang — should be the subject of multiple hearings and extended consideration inside the Senate Judiciary Committee. But on Sunday there were signs that consensus does not extend to the Republicans inside the Gang. Appearing on CBS, longtime immigration reform advocate and Gang member Sen. John McCain suggested the immigration issue is so familiar to lawmakers that multiple hearings will not be necessary.

Via Fox Nation, newly released statistics show that illegal immigrant infiltration along the U.S.-Mexico border is increasing markedly despite recent statements to the contrary by Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano: “I can tell you having worked that border for 20 years, it is more secure now than it has ever been. Illegal apprehensions are at 40-year lows,” Napolitano told reporters this week in Houston. But figures released Thursday by Customs and Border Protection to Fox News tell a different story. Arrests are actually up 13 percent

The White House press corps should ask President Obama this question: You’ve told Iran’s leaders that if they come close to marrying a nuclear warhead with a missile that can hit the United States or our allies, they should expect a U.S. military attack on their soil. (Snip)Administration officials would never admit it, but the main reason for their being tougher on Iran than North Korea seems tied to American domestic politics as much or more than anything else, specifically the standing of Israel and oil versus Korea and Japan.

AS a Texas-raised journalist, I can tell you two things with confidence about my native state. One, its economy has been humming nicely for years. Two, this appears to greatly offend a certain breed of Northern writer, several of whom have descended on the state in an attempt to rebut stories of a “Texas miracle.” (Snip) “Texas has a long tradition of looking outside the government for support — and often finding it. That predates the Texas revolution and was reinforced by the rise of the cattle kingdom and the oil booms.”

One of the more disturbing aspects of the internet culture — fed largely by the ability to post anonymously — is the rash of mean, hateful comments made following the death of a prominent figure associated with one side or the other. It’s a disease that afflicts both sides. The death of Ted Kennedy a few years ago brought out the haters on the right to an unprecedented degree. The vitriol and foul language as well as carefully composed comments designed to inflict the maximum amount of pain that were the rule on the right

La Jolla´s jagged coastline is strictly protected by environmental laws to ensure the San Diego community remains the kind of seaside jewel that has attracted swanky restaurants, top-flight hotels and some of the nation´s rich and famous, including billionaire businessman Irwin Jacobs and former presidential candidate Mitt Romney. Tourists flock to the place. So do birds. Lots of birds. And with those birds comes lots of poop. So rather than gasping in amazement at the beautiful views, some are holding their noses from the stench coming from the droppings that cake coastal rocks and outcroppings near its business district.

Obama, Kerry and Hagel thought that they had a plan for putting North Korea back in the box. North Korea had conducted a nuclear test in February, violating once again the various understandings that had been worked out. But agreements and understandings, written or oral, had never meant much to the repressive regime which had suspended the Armistice Agreement that ended the Korean War numerous times—including last month. So Obama decided to wave a stick. The playbook for North Korea would feature flights by B-2 and B-52 bombers and F-22 fighter jets to remind

The quasi-official ideology of the U.S. armed forces holds that generals are virtually interchangeable, that individual personalities don’t matter much, that ordinary grunts are in any case more important than their leaders, and that what really counts are larger systems that make a complex bureaucracy function. There is some truth to all of this. But for all of the bureaucratic heft of the services and the heroism of ordinary soldiers, it is hard to imagine the Civil War having been won without Grant, Sherman, and Sheridan—or World War II without Marshall, Eisenhower, Patton, Bradley, Arnold, LeMay, Nimitz, Halsey,

Michelle Obama has admitted that she is already tired of the bangs she first sported in January. The First Lady said in an interview with Entertainment Tonight: ´Bangs are a day-by-day proposition. They´re starting to grow out, get a little irritating.´ Still, she hasn´t let her hairdo woes get her down. ´It´s okay,´ she said after her initial complaint. ´We´ll be good.´ The first indication that her hairstyle was becoming a burden came about last weekend, when Malia, 14, was spotted adjusting her mother´s hair during the White House Easter Egg Roll.

"I don´t understand it," the Arizona Republican said on Sunday of the threat coming from Sen. Rand Paul,Sen. Ted Cruz, Sen. Mike Lee and nine other Republicans. "The purpose of the United States Senate is to debate and to vote and to let the people know where we stand.” "What are we afraid of? ...

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

They´re tired of $100-plus monthly bills. A growing number of them have stopped paying for cable and satellite TV service, and don´t even use an antenna to get free signals over the air. (Snip) Last month, the Nielsen Co. started labeling people in this group "Zero TV" households, because they fall outside the traditional definition of a TV home.

The 34-year-old information management officer was one of four Americans murdered in the Benghazi embassy attack on September 11, 2012. In the chilling interview, a distraught Ms. Smith, in tears, pleaded for answers and spoke of the efforts to silence her. Ms. Smith first relayed how her son, prior to the attack, requested additional security in advance and warned the State Department: He did tell them, ahead of time, he typed it into his little typewriter over there,

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank

I hope all will look at a lifetime of service over some poorly chosen words.” Carson will remain as commencement speaker at Johns Hopkins,

But really she’s something much more interesting: a traitor to her class. Her betrayal consists of being gauche enough to acknowledge publicly a truth that everyone who’s come up through Ivy League culture knows intuitively —

Gluten-free diets are all the rage, but they can be dangerous if not done right. What is gluten? It´s the spongy complex of proteins, found naturally in wheat, rye, and barley, that gives elasticity to dough and allows it to rise. When flour is moistened and either kneaded or mixed into dough, gluten molecules form an elastic, microscopic latticework that traps the carbon dioxide produced when yeast ferments, causing dough to inflate like a hot air balloon. Baking hardens the gluten, which helps the finished product keep its shape. Wheat — and gluten — is ubiquitous in the American diet.

Newtown killer Adam Lanza may have launched his murder spree at Sandy Hook Elementary School as an “act of revenge,” the Daily News has learned. A close friend of Lanza’s mother told The News that the troubled boy was a target of relentless bullying when he attended the Connecticut school years ago. “I think Adam felt betrayed by the school and this was his act of revenge,” said Marvin LaFontaine, a friend of Nancy Lanza’s. “Nancy told me he was being picked on at school. That they were just torturing him.” Source and text corrected by Staff.
