DevalWatch: The Governor Goes Low Maintenance

First, there were the rumors about Tom Brady getting hair plugs. Now, our Governor shaves his head. The state of the Commonwealth's hair is in flux.

The reaction on the internet to this news has been mixed: Boston Daily drew comparisons to Britney Spears' infamous head shaving. Local pundit Seth Gitell, though admittedly biased, praised Patrick for his "courageous leadership." Meanwhile, the majority of Universal Hub voters say that they don't care about the story one way or the other.

In the Globe, Patrick's aides suggested "that the governor is a busy man and a shorter cut means fewer trips to the barber." That might theoretically be the rationale, if the governor believes that one's hair must only be cut once it reaches a certain length. But as someone who now visits a certain salon for twice weekly head shavings, we should have warned Patrick that shaving your head once creates a dangerous precedent.

Also, the article reveals that Patrick gets his hair cut by his sister, a stylist in Randolph. So why would the Governor want to see her less often? Is she opposed to his casino plan?

It is very very sad and pathetic to see Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen on vacation when the only place Tom should be is on the west coast begging his x to spend time with his little boy. He has already missed months of his son John's life...... special moments he can never get back. Gisele is a transvestite looking tramp whom obviously has no sense of the importance of family and of honoring commitments. Whether Tom "wanted" a son or not, who nows, but the fact is, HE HAS ONE !!!!! He is the father to that little boy and that "son" deserves a loving present father. What kind of a man goes on vacation with a whore instead of seeing his son?? I do not care if he utterly hates Bridget Moynahan, every baby deserves the love of their parents. There are so many young children today and familes that have lost their loved ones in the war in Iraq. These Dad's would do anything to be with their children to see their first smiles, first laughs, first steps. Here is a man of free will with huge financial means to be there for his son and he is not there to hug him and hold him and give him a kiss at night or take him for a walk to a park in his stroller. His parents seem like good people in the media, how could they have raised a son that is so screwed up, so selfish and immature????? Gisele absolutely lacks good character and good judgement. She perpetuates and encourages his bad behavior and disregard for his child. They are both selfish disgusting human beings. Karma is a bitch and it will come back to haunt both of them.
