I like traditional barbershops. One of my earliest memories is sitting in Victor’s in Evendale, Ohio, with my dad. My choice of haircuts was limited, but I got to choose between a burr, a crewcut or a flat top, and I usually chose the latter.

This place is a lot like an old-time barbershop. Visiting with the locals, drinking Barq’s Cream Soda, playing checkers, and trash talking anyone not around to defend themselves on The Overnight Open Thread.

or one short week, the city of Denver will have the best-coiffed homeless population in America: Denver’s homeless get free haircuts to look good for Obama and his Democrats.

According to Rick Sallinger of the CBS TV station, Denver Human Services has been handing out coupons for free homeless haircuts.

The idea was to make the homeless feel better about themselves. And maybe then they’d get jobs or something.

Rusty Johnson told Rick he hadn’t had a haircut in three or four months and, frankly, didn’t much care about the Democrats caring about his appearance. “I just want to look good and feel good for myself,” he said.
