‘Sheriff Joe’ Arpaio Eyeballs SR

I finally got my hands on a photo of Maricopa County, Ariz., Sheriff Joe Arpaio eyeballing a copy of The Spokesman-Review the Oct. 5 morning after his speech to the Woman in Red banquet, sponsored by the Kootenai County Republican Women's Federation. A Labrador supporter questioned my report later that week that Arpaio had given his candidate a lukewarm endorsement, stating at the breakfast: "I endorsed him?" I talked to two earwitnesses who heard the comment. Later, Arpaio pronounced himself solidly in Labrador's camp on a radio talk show.

Question: OK, a couple of you have commented re: "Sheriff Joe" Arpaio's obvious comb-over (which incidentally is a better topic than politics). Have you ever seen someone pull off a comb-over? What would you do if you were in the same circumstances re: thinning hair?
