    What a touchy lot! There was a whole article on Politico yesterday on Biden's hair-enhancement and nobody shouted "racist"

    but the fire-engine is out immediately with the water-gushers if you don't genuflect to the Obamas and their over-emotional supporters. Half of Hollywood wears wigs/hair extensions and Madonna's long tresses have needed more than natural encouragement. Maybe I was being sexist in not paying enough attention to wig-wearing, hair-plugged, hair-extended men. A sore point I'm sure.
