I wonder if we could get a permanent sidebar link for the Condoleezza Hairdo Alert system.

At first I thought the post said "I keep track of Condoleezza's hard-on so you don't have to." Another load off my mind indeed.

Ze covers Condi's Magic Satchel (about 1 minute in, and includes a song about the satchel)

I have it, from a fairly reliable source, that Condi wears a special unique perfume, rumored to have been cooked up for her by the CIA, that causes men to follow her around like starving dingos after a slab of porter-house.
She apparently uses it to her fullest advantage when speaking (in close quarters) with foreign heads of state. Thus, this has become the only thing I can think about when I hear about her in negotiations, etc.

someone please tell sparklepony that he forgot to list "afro" in his stereotyping of black peoples' hair.

"JERUSALEM (AP) - The Israeli air force carried out strikes Monday in southern Lebanon despite an agreement to halt raids for 48 hours after nearly 60 Lebanese civilians were killed in an Israeli bombing, the army said.
"The airstrikes near the village of Taibe were meant to protect ground forces operating in the area and were not targeting anyone or anything specific, the army said. (emphasis added)
"Meanwhile, Hezbollah guerrillas attacked an Israeli tank in southern Lebanon, wounding three soldiers, the military said. The attack occurred near the villages of Kila and Taibe on border, where Israeli ground forces have been fighting Hezbollah guerrillas for nearly two weeks.
"Israel Radio also reported that Hezbollah rockets hit the northern town of Kiryat Shemona."

not targeting anyone or anything specific . . . apparently once you pickle off your bombs, the blame lies entirely with the law of gravity.

No no, thank you thirteenkiller , for letting me be part of the wonderful nation of anhedonia, in which we whistle past the graveyard.

Anhedonia: the inability to gain pleasure from normally pleasurable experiences. Maybe exactly the opposite of what you mean, UU. It seems to me that "whistling past the graveyard" is a symptom of the inability to be troubled by normally troubling experiences.

Haha, yeah Plutor.. I looked up anhedonia and got more confused. That's why I asked. Either UU used it wrong or his poetry is just too deep for me. Anyway, I'm just not sure how that bombing shit belongs in this thread.

that Condi wears a special unique perfume
Y'know, it's just possible that what's unique is Condi. Back in the day, I knew this woman I totally had the hots for -- even though starting anything with her would've been utterly wrong -- who smelled indescribably, irresistably wonderful all the time. Eventually I figured out that what was going on was that I was smelling what happened when her body chemistry interacted with a certain brand of laundry detergent she used. It would leave just enough on her clothes that it would interact with her skin and drive me to distraction. Lots of women spend $$ on perfume, cologne etc. trying for the effect that Mary got merely from washing her T-shirts in Tide.

Say what you will. Her clothes set the tone for powerful women all over the world, and she's the only thing between Israel and the total destruction of Lebanon.

I found this photo of Condi to be a revealing frontal picture, while this one shows her best hair style to advantage.

I'd stick Margaret Thatcher in her prime against Condi any day of the week. The Iron Lady would have kicked seven bells out of Condi even without her handbag. Want to talk immaculate coiffuritudity? Maggie had that shit down.
If only she hadn't been such a total assmonkey.

While this is true, I'm not sure it's deserving of a snark. The blogger seems to be pointing out the good Doctor's own emphasis on her gender more than anything else. Check out the photo entitled "Can you pick out the Secretary of State?"

crap. maintaining a shred of femininity is not an emphasis on one's own gender. there's something wrong with expecting women in power to act or dress like men.
in this vein, see also all the ridiculous kerfluffle surrounding yulia tymoshenko.

The only problem with this concept is that Condi's hair doesn't actually change very much. Sometimes it's flatter and sometimes it's fuller, but that's about it.
