Now, that is OPPRESSION, man.

Lipstick on a pig.

Sounds like the Chicoms cleaning up Beijing.

I would have thought the idea would have been to show as many homeless as possible.

and make them as scruffy as possible

to make Bush look bad

Why do the homeless need haircuts? They'd fit in better with all the hippie protesters without the haircuts. Now they'll stick out.

Funny thing is, they'll probably look cleaner than most of the covention delegates.

Is Denver run by the Communist (sorry I meant Democrats)?

Can anyone say 'Potemkin Village'. Didn't work out too well for the Czars, did it?

So what about a new outfit? Clothes make the man!
And new shoes.
And a watch.
Hey, a cell phone would be nice too.

I would be all for a barber doing this on their own, but taxpayers paying for it is just another case of wasted government funds.

China put the opening ceremony performers in a camp.
Denver puts the outside performers in a camp.

And maybe then they’d get jobs or something.

I vote for or something

re: #3 NoSubmission

not that bad - at least none of Denver's homeless will wind up on display in one of those creepy "Bodies" exhibits.

Maybe they should consider bathing and shaving the moonbats as well.

The cell phone would be great so the people who talk to themselves would look like they're talking to someone.

Wonder if John Edwards qualifies?

Dear Scoop Jackson democrats (and Jacksonian democrats for that matter),

Leave the wackos aside. You are welcome to support John McCain.

No pedicures? Manicures? What about eyebrows? Greedy fascist pigs.

re: #13 BeerDrinking_VictoryMonkey

At least, not until the Democrats control all three branches of government.

They are also handing Stoly, Tanguray and Chivas coupons so that the delegates will see the homeless have discerning tastes.

Meanwhile..

Anti-war protestors win $2 million settlement from the city of New York.

Anti-war activists who claim they were wrongly locked up by the NYPD during a 2003 protest won a $2 million settlement from the city Tuesday.

Led by plaintiff Sarah Kunstler - the daughter of famed civil rights lawyer Bill Kunstler - the 52 protestors claimed victory.

"We hope our victory helps convince the city to stop violating people's rights as a matter of policy and stop wasting taxpayers' money doing so," Kunstler said.

This is going to be rough for the panhandlers...It's tough getting a tourist to give you a dollar when you're sporting clean clothes and a fresh haircut.

What about de-lousing the convention attendees?

re: #21 NoSubmission

and stop wasting taxpayers' money doing so," Kunstler said.

Go look in the mirror.

No doubt Obama and the democrats are going to make free haircuts for the "middle class" one of their campaign promises if this thing works out. People making six figures a year can certainly subsidize this basic human right to get your hair cut. Maybe call it the "Full Employment for Stylists" Act?

Wondering however if offering free showering for the homeless would be more beneficial for both the homeless and the general public?

Next up: Get them jobs running the lifts at Breckenridge.

Next step, public lawn-mowing for all who qualify.

It'll start with one little ol' granny who can avoid the nursing home and take care of herself in her own home, except she just can't handle the lawn anymore. It'll end with 1/2 the country mowing their own lawns and then paying for their neighbor's lawn.

Hasn't had a haircut in 3 months? Lol, I'm not homeless and I had my first haircut in 6 months 2 days ago. I also had to pay for it. Not that I begrudge these guys their haircuts, but 3 months? Lol.

They're stopping all traffic at DIA getting haircuts in the terminal.

“I just want to look good and feel good for myself,” he said.

Cuz' ev'ry girl's crazy 'bout a short-haired bum!

first, denver wanted to shove all the homeless inside during the convention:

City wants homeless inside for Convention

next, denver decided they were going to hand out coupons to the homeless so they could enjoy the zoo, art and history museums for free.

now free haircuts? the beacon city of the democratic party could NEVER have homeless people, right? i mean, democrats have the answers to everything to end injustice and inequality!

If we're unfortunate enough to elect the Obamessiah, this sort of absurdity will be repeated hundreds of times over in new federal policy.

Drilling? Hell no.

Free wash and style for substance abusers? Hell yes.

That's Change(TM) for you...

Feeling sorry for those that have to give the haircuts...

Hope they use gloves......

On the other hand, if they are French, they will never notice.

Maybe they can use something akin to those potato skinning gloves I see on TV....

A couple of twists of the head between the hands and they guys end up bald!

Another linky to go with my post:

Denver's Homeless Provided Options During DNC

Come election time, the dims will need those votes.. along with the recently departed, the illegals, the criminals......

Also, always a hand out, never a hand up with the dims.

Every hair shall be the same length! Every strand the same color!

We will have coiffure justice in our time.

/actually, I don't have a huge problem with these pre-event spruce-up activities.

Hygiene. McCuts outlets are already bad enough, but now Denver expects the public to use the same barber's tools after this?

The DNC: Spreading Human Misery Since FDR.

Sick people. Will they be flying in Henrico Frank?

One day, Henrico Frank was unemployed and unknown. After a haircut and shave he became undoubtedly Germany's best-known jobless man. Now, Frank may even have landed himself a steady job, thanks to an unexpected run-in last week with a politician in Wiesbaden.

It all began on Tuesday, when Frank was cruising through a Christmas market in Wiesbaden, wearing grubby clothes, a pair of nose rings and a thatch of partially bleached, punk-inspired hair.

The 37-year-old, who has been without work for six years, chanced upon Kurt Beck, the governor of Rhineland-Palatinate state and chairman of the Social Democrats -- the center-left half of Chancellor Angela Merkel's federal coalition.

Beck was a perfect, if unwilling, target for Frank's frustration, and he harangued the politician for what he saw as the failure of economic reforms that were aimed at lifting people like himself -- a construction worker -- out of unemployment and into a better life.

Beck's retort: "If you would just wash and shave, you'd find a job too."

Frank figured he'd see if Beck's claim was true.

And he got a job:

BERLIN An unemployed man who took the advice of a politician who told him to get a haircut if he wanted a job has started work as a punk producer at iMusic TV in Frankfurt. Henrico Frank, 38, received eight job offers after his makeover but landed his new job after the station saw photographs of his old look.

Ha! It rocks!

From each according to their means, to each according to their appearence.

what a fantastic waste of money.

2/10/09- In his first meeting with a foreign head of state, the leader of Hamas-Gaza, President Obama today announced his "Pedicures for Poor America" program." Americans need to feel better about themselves, " President Obama said, " it's really necessary for poor folks to be able to kick back, relax, and get a pedicure". Obama stated the program would be funded by a new tax on " our wealthier citizens" those earning at least $80,000 a year, who, " can well afford to pay for this necessary service".

In other news Obama defended the exodus of millionaires from the United States under claims that Obama's tax policies were confiscatory and stated that negotiations hosted by French President Sarkozy would begin soon with Russian President Putin for the withdrawal of Russian peacekeeping forces who had taken up positions in Michigan and Florida on claims of protecting the South Ossetian people from Georgian banditry.

re: #7 winston06

Yes.

However, I thought it was a kind thing to do. Even if it is for ridiculous reasons.

re: #8 coquimbojoe

Can anyone say 'Potemkin Village'. Didn't work out too well for the Czars, did it?

My thoughts exactly. Damn. Beat me to it.

Once thing is for sure, The Democrats would never pick San Fran for their DNC convention. Denver's homeless problem is nothing compared to San Francisco.

There aint enough bees in Brazil to provide enough wax.

Denver's mayor, (a Democrat) Hickenlooper is sort of obsessed with solving the homeless problem. I'm not knocking him for it, but I think the homeless issue can be better solved with privately run organizations like this.

Homeless people with good haircuts. Kinda fits in with the whole Barry the Superficial.

/Just remember darling, it's now how you feel, it's how you look!

“I just want to look good and feel good for myself,” he said.

Straight from the homeless man's mouth.
Now, if the Dems would just listen.

Capital is money. It is dead labor. It is vampiric. But haircuts are brotherhood.
--- Karl Marx

The proletariat will one day rise up and demand Elvis-doos.

Are they going to use the homeless people with hair cuts to fill the stadium for Obama's acceptance speech.

How appropriate for the Dem. convention.
Appearance over substance.

This totally epitomizes how liberal democrats approach everything.
I'm sure at some point they will use these "homeless" people as a prop/tool to show how bad Bush has been, and that if we had just elected Gore, or Kerry, we wouldn't have to spend our hard earned tax dollars getting these people haircuts.

How can ANYONE take these people seriously?

If you're homeless and live in Denver
You're gonna get free shearing of your hair
If you're homeless and live in Denver
You must look good while the Convention's there

For all the homeless who live in Denver
Must all blend in so guests are not aware
The street people who live in Denver
Must not distress the folks who keep them there

From across the nation comes a population
Seething emotion
They'll be full of negation and self-important inflation
Seething emotion, seething emotion

Dear Denver,

You are solving the wrong problem.

Isn't this just what the Dems are all about? The Dems are all about looks and show and no substance such as drill here and drill now.

hey, I live all the time near DC(ride through and under it most days)- can I get a free haircut?

re: #86 monkey den

darnit, should have read all the comments...again.

Anyone made an Edwards joke yet?

I hope that Denver's mayor is able to find enough union hairstylists to shear all those homeless.
I guess you can choose to be homeless, but can not choose to have long-ish hair.

Those Dems, they're a tolerant bunch. So willing to accept diverse opinions. A freakin' BIG tent.

re: #88 Noam Chumpski

I have replied to Amillennialist's most recent posts on the Delk thread.

No mention of coupons for a free bath and delousing.

I cut my own hair with the Wahl trimmer. I like it high and tight.

It sounds as if Denver is getting ready for its first night with the groom.

The Dems are very much into images, as Tom Clancy noted:

"The political left is, you know, they deal in symbols rather than reality.
The general difference between conservatives and liberals is liberals like pretty pictures and conservatives like to build bridges that people can drive across. And conservatives are indeed conservative because if the bridge falls down, people die. Where as the liberals figure, oh, we can always build a nice memorial to them and make people forget it happened and it was our fault. They're very good at making people forget it was their
fault, all right.

so the dems are saying "Get a Haircut!" but not the corollary "Get a Job!".

re: #97 Thanos

Get A Job

is not inclusive. It is judging and mean-spirited. The Old Politics As Usual.
That's not what The One is about. Get with the program.

re: #97 Thanos

so the dems are saying "Get a Haircut!" but not the corollary "Get a Job!".

Of course not.

How else to justify goverrnment hiring to tend to those who need help?
How else to show that evil Bush policies are diverting money from social programs to war-mongering?
How else to show that Dems are for the little people?
How else to show that Dems are compassionate?

I think that the coupons are only good for a complete shave down to the skin (full disclosure: other than a closely-trimmed white goatee and way too bushy gray eyebrows, there ain't a hair on my head. What little does grow there is mowed down by the Headblade.)

re: #100 Clutch

That should be "I think that the coupons SHOULD ONLY BE good for a complete shave down to the skin". Duhh... [drool]

re: #6 BeerDrinking_VictoryMonkey

Thank god for another Lib handout.
Hobama will announce a new shopping cart and haircut initiative for his administration, it will only cost 200 million and will be pair for by raising capital gains on the "Big Rich".
No comment from Big and Rich.

It's pretty obvious that it's a police operation to weed out the Repeat 68 hippies. When the tear gas and smoke starts to fly, they'll know who to arrest.

I feel sorry for the beauticians/barbers. Now, instead of just disinfecting their combs in that jar of solution, they're gonna have to disinfect/decontaminate the entire premises! ! !

/...and now I'm off to a newer thread! ...or maybe dinner!

I live in the area, and I'm not going near downtown for at least two weeks after the convention. You, Democrap fallout.

Seriously, people, aren't the Dims supposed to be for the poor? They're actually giving them free movie and zoo passes, haircuts, etc. to either get them out of downtown or, if they won't move, make them look better in the eyes of the rest of the country.

Read one article about how Denver Mayor Hickenpooper is making this "the greenest convention evah" and you will laugh out loud at what's going on (e.g. volunteers will be sifting through the garbage to sort the recyclable items, all fanny packs had to be made in America by unions)

I would love to see an attendee throw all plastic in the garbage and watch the sentinels scramble.
