American Beat: Bald-Faced Prejudice

Given that Giuliani has frequently spoken about wanting to serve in public office again, can there be any doubt that the re-invention of Rudy's head is a precursor to the return of Rudy's political ambition?

But of course. "This is a defining moment," I was quoted in Newsday columnist Ellis Henican's piece the other day. "It's a statement of purpose. Taking back your baldness--whether it's shaving your head or giving up the combover--has always indicated that a major change is on the way. [For Rudy], it's like Gloria Gaynor singing, 'I Will Survive.'"

Wait a second, how did I find myself quoted in Newsday? Just selling books, I guess.
