A while back, I introduced you to Tongue Hair, simply the most hair I'd ever seen on one (presumably) human being, at the time. I thought I'd found the mother hair lode, the lair of all bad hair. (I was even considering shutting down this site...I mean...you can't really top that hair...it's just so...tonguey.) I should have known. There are more...and there are worse.

I have to say this is probably the worst bad hair day ever recorded on film. It's kinda cruel to post this, but...well...she did put it on the Internet.... See video here:

SOUTH Korea is certain North Korea has a nuclear weapon and Seoul's best estimate is that Pyongyang has produced one or two bombs, Defence Minister Yoon Kwang-ung said today. Mr Yoon also told a parliamentary hearing there was not enough evidence at present to conclude the North was about to conduct its first nuclear weapons test. “It is estimated that the North has one or two,” he told a parliamentary hearing when asked about the North's nuclear arsenal. When asked if the South had no doubt about the North's possession of a nuclear weapon, Yoon said: “That's correct.” North Korea...

North Korean leader Kim Jong Il hasn't appeared in public since his country test-fired missiles that drew international condemnation, leading to speculation of a possible sense of crisis inside the reclusive nation. Kim attended a Russian art performance and visited a tire factory July 4, a day before the missile launches, and he hasn't appeared publicly since, according to South Korea's spy agency. The North's propaganda machine hasn't reported on Kim's activities since the missile launches, but last week the country's official news agency said Kim sent a consolation message to ailing Cuban leader Fidel Castro. Kim usually visits military...

Woman Charged With Running Down Nurses The woman who is suspected of using her car to run down two nurses earlier this month now faces two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. A grand jury opted to indict Gladys Wangui, 33, following the May 4 incident. She allegedly accelerated in a hospital parking lot and struck two nurses who were reporting to work at the Medical Center of Arlington. Wangui underwent a mental evaluation before the indictment. A source at the hospital told NBC 5 at the time of the incident that Wangui was angry because a doctor...

Weve all seen and heard of a place called Free Republic, its full of divorced or wife-beating conservative slobs who have the hygene of John Goodman after a long picnic. They thrive on stupid,worthless topics that focus around the "wonder of life" and "lets keep people who cant feel or think alive because were to stubborn to admit that its pretty damn foolish". But above all other abominations in this world is the wretched "Admin Mod", a man of horrible values and the judgement of a meth lab. It is he who makes free republic, well not free at all,...

A woman apparently dissatisfied with a haircut robbed a hair salon at gunpoint, shot at her stylist's car, then used part of the money to pay for a trim at another shop, police said. Julie A. Anderson, 48, was booked for investigation of first-degree robbery and second-degree malicious mischief.

Katie Couric supposedly was going to interview Elizabeth Edwards (and John Edwards) about her breast cancer but instead ended up concentrating on that "difficult and disappointing loss" to President Bush. Lightweight John Edwards also said that Bush has "no mandate" and "The election was so close" and he gave up his seat but "will continue to fight to move America forward" implying that Bush will stampede his program to hurt America (I was vomiting violently by this time) . Kouric continued to talk about that loss (I was repulsed by Katie's dramatic emphasis on syllables for effect) while Johnny tried...

They were just trying to save his hair. But what started as a desire to preserve Koran Akindele Jenkin's dreadlocks, grown during his 13-year life, ended in tragedy and changed the Berkeley boy's world forever. Koran had picked up head lice in his thick, black shoulder-length dreads during a backyard campout with a group of friends. The eighth grader had never in his life had a haircut. He loved his hair. His mother loved his hair. Koran, a member of a hip-hop group, needed the hair to complete his look. But as the critters hopped around in Koran's locks, mother...

Amusement Park Operator Killed in Wash. LANGLEY, Wash. (AP) - An amusement park operator was killed Saturday when his hair got caught on a roller coaster car, pulling him up as high as 40 feet before he fell, back-first, onto a fence. Doug McKay, 40, was spraying lubricant on the tracks of the Super Loop 2, a ride at the Island County Fair on Whidbey Island, when his long hair got caught on a car full of fairgoers, sheriff's spokeswoman Jan Smith said. ``It basically scalped him, and he fell and landed on the fence,'' Smith said.

Who The Hell Cares About Hillary's Hair? Senator Hillary Clinton shows up with a new hairdo on Thursday, and now Washington is abuzz with what it "means." Who the hell cares? It doesn't mean anything. The woman likes to change her hairstyle a lot, and that's her business. I don't give a rat's rear end what her hairstyle is or what some clown hairdresser thinks it means. Oh, but that didn't stop Friday's Washington Times from writing a whole story on it. Here are some quotes: "Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton has changed her coiffure, and her new 'do was introduced...
