Why do you have to be follically challenged, Roman?
Some of us have hair like Ben Wallace and NOT Michael Jordan!

Finally a Post where WillyD can let his hair down..

pun intended!

Do you have to be naturally bald?

Aloha FCP. Cubs are back; I'm back. Did you miss me? I've been waiting for a Cubs blog, I guess one about baldness will due. Forgive my absence but I just don't have very much to say about NASCAR, and I guess the monster breaks in January and February at Mavericks don't make the news out east.

GO CUBS!!!!

Julie...all your bragging is about to pay off.

This will only be fair if the photos appear in Quick Hits with Elliott Sexist salivatiing over them, playfully pointing out that he doesn't know why, but he just loves bald guys. And they should do the photo shoot while it's still winter and the baldies can be shoveling his driveway, wearing bikinis of course.

Fine, Julie B., let Elliot have his fun, but don't give them any more ideas for a bald-guy photo shoot...no speedos or b'nana hammicks pleez...this is America, not the south of France...

What the H-E-double-hockey-sticks are you talking about, Stuck?

When you are treated to the worse bullpen performance by the White Sox in over 50 yrs balding comes natural. After 2007 I'm sure there are plenty of Sox fans to choose from.

As for Cub fans, their demise was inevitable & expected. After the Bartman year of 2003 though their ranks of baldy-sours had to have surged. If they survived that they can survive anything.

all that waxing you insist upon doing. .......oh....not that kind of bald you say?

Culzie:

This post is calling your name (or bald dome)!

Keylan, you too!!!

CD\ my hair is so thick and luxurious it could choke a pornstar hippo!

This isnt Russia is it....Betty?

Blogger Charged in Russia

MOSCOW (AP) - Prosecutors have charged a Russian blogger who wrote on a popular Internet site that police should be publicly incinerated in what is believed to be the country's first such case against a blogger.
Savva Terentyev said Wednesday he was charged with inciting hatred in a court in the northern city of Syktyvkar. The charges filed Tuesday stemmed from his posting on a Web forum in February 2007 that criticized police in the wake of a raid on an opposition newspaper.

"They're trash—and those that become cops are simply trash, dumb, uneducated representatives of the animal world," he wrote. "It would be good if in the center of every town in Russia ... an oven was built, like at Auschwitz, in which ceremonially, every day, and better yet, twice a day ... the infidel cops were burnt. This would be the first step toward cleaning society of these cop-hoodlum scum."

The case comes at a time of growing concerns in Russia that authorities have begun to tighten control over the Internet.

Web logs, online newspapers, chat rooms and other Internet sites have emerged as a vibrant source of critical news and commentary in Russia, compared with much of the national media.

During outgoing President Vladimir Putin eight years in office, much of the once-critical mainstream media has been brought to heel. Major television stations have been taken over by the state, or by state- owned corporations. Reporters often resort to self-censorship fearing retribution by officials.

The RIA-Novosti news agency said Terentyev could face a $12,600 fine if convicted.

Internet experts say Terentyev's case is the first time criminal charges have been brought against a blogger.

The Internet's unfettered nature and people using it to challenge the government has long worried the Kremlin. Though access is still relatively uncommon in the country, Russians have quickly taken to using the Internet for sharing often biting commentary, or even to organize political demonstrations.

As a result, Russian lawmakers and authorities are discussing ways to tame the Web.

Galina Kozhevnikova, an expert at the SOVA center which studies hate crimes in Russia, said Terentyev's prosecution stemmed directly from new legislation on allegedly extremist literature, which she said was seriously flawed.

"To prosecute a person for a private commentary written on a not-very- popular blog that no one takes seriously in any way whatsoever—this is clearly an abuse of the law and discredit to the law," she said. "This is clearly a signal to the blogosphere, which in Russia people now read like the free press, for real information."

Parliament's upper house is considering legislation that would make Web sites with more than 1,000 readers daily subject to the same regulations as print media.
