My mother always told me not to make fun of people because of their looks. Of course she's right, but mom's a better person than I am and I don't report to her anymore. Plus, Henry Waxman's a Democrat, so he doesn't really count as "people" according to her. Democrats are more like a collection of grievance groups teased into constituency by professional irritants such as unions, ward bosses and community organizers. So, here we submit, what is arguably the ugliest ghoul to ever roam the hall's of Congress -- and that's sayin' somethin'. Henry Waxman, D-CA. click here for...

Fifty Ugliest Cars of the Past 50 Years A Half-Century of Automotive Eyesores By Damian Joseph Considering how many new cars are rolled out every year, it's no surprise that a few might be just plain homely. There's a chance that certain styles might become fashionable with a dash of retro hip. (Well, maybe not from the 1970s.) But for the most part, the following 50 cars will never be anything but design duds.

Why I Like to Hire Ugly People How the unattractive suffer ... and can end up sitting pretty By Marty Nemko September 2009 Like beauty, “ugly” is in the eyes of the beholder. What I’m talking about here is anything in a person’s physical appearance that’s likely to keep him or her off a “most attractive” list. For me it’s my hair, or lack thereof. Many years ago, I was all set to appear six times on a daytime-TV talk show. But the producers first had one suggestion: Get a hairpiece. “Market research indicates that a man with a full...

There's a lot of important issues facing America at the moment. The biggest issue, judging by the amount of noise, is the fact the First Lady made the un-president-ed step of wearing shorts on vacations. However, no-one seems to be making practical suggestions for what Michelle Obama should have worn on a hike through the hot, dusty Grand Canyon. Short trip: Michelle steps off the plane, protected by some formally-clad, and presumably baking, guards In an outcry which (almost) overshadows the the debate over the U.S. healthcare system, critics came out en masse to condemn Michelle's choice of clothing. A...

Kathryn, in all the Rush-bashing, I was more disturbed by Michael Steele's wretched performance. His initial reaction — that Rush's show is "incendiary" and "ugly" — revealed: a) that he never listens to it; b) that he takes his cues from the mainstream media, for whom Rush is invariably "angry". They don't listen either. Rush is a lot of things, but "angry" isn't one of them. If you catch him for 20 minutes, you know he's full of fun, laughing it up, having a grand old time. There are a lot of angry talkshow hosts out there bellowing at the...

Well, the election is over, and 65 million Americans chose Barack Obama to be their President despite his lack of experience, troubling associations and socialist ideals. Yes. Apparently, most Americans were willing to put these pesky details aside in order to usher in an Era of Good Feeling. Of course, I can’t help but fear that we’ve actually begun the Era of Bad Thinking. That remains to be seen, however, so in the meantime, let’s take a closer look at the Good, the Bad and the Ugly of the 2008 Presidential Election. The Good Believe it or not, there is...
