So, I'm thinking there is something to the whole ugly uniform thing being the new black. Once again, as I was flipping through the channels, I caught Cristina Aguilera wearing one of those 1980's style White Sox hats- the red, white & blue one's that just said "Sox" on the front." Now, maybe there's a chance Cristina's a big Sox fan, but somehow I doubt that. Somehow, I doubt Cristina even knows who the White Sox are. Some I doubt that Cristina can't even put on her underwear without first getting by her handlers, fashion consultants, posse, and stylisst. That girl is scary.

Anyways, this story cracks me up. And Bill Simon thinks he's got problems-

Republican drops out of Montana Senate race, says ad makes him look like gay hairdresser

"Republican Mike Taylor dropped out of the U.S. Senate race against Democratic Sen. Max Baucus, saying he could not combat a Democratic Party ad that he said portrayed him as a gay hairdresser.

Taylor, who was trailing Baucus badly in the polls, said the commercial amounted to character assassination.

Choking back tears and with his wife Janna by his side, Taylor said Thursday, "I'm willing to suspend my campaign because my opponent's lies about me are hurting my wife, my family, my friends, my party and most of all, Montanans from all walks of life."

Taylor's surprise announcement comes less than a week after Democrats began airing a TV ad accusing Taylor of a scam involving student loan money when he ran a beauty school in Colorado during the 1990s.

The commercial includes videotape of Taylor, 20 years younger and wearing an open-front shirt and gold chains while he massages a man's face. The videotape was from Taylor's "Beauty Corner," a television segment he hosted on a Colorado news program during the 1980s.

"There's no question about it, what they're trying to imply," Taylor said. "They're trying to say that every barber and every cosmetologist, every manicurist or anybody in the beauty and hair fashion industry is homosexual."

The local paper, the Billings Gazette describes the candidate as looking like this- "The ad shows Taylor, then slender, sporting a full beard. He is wearing a tight-fitting, three piece suit, with a big-collared open shirt ala John Travolta in 'Saturday Night Fever.' Taylor's top two or three shirt buttons are unbuttoned, exposing some bare chest and a number of gold chains."

Oh man, I wonder what kind of music they played in the background for the ad? I wonder if they had some disco in the background or just went for the straight chunka-chunka porn guitar sound.
