VOTE: Which Trey Gowdy Haircut Is Best?
9th July 2018
Every time I see Trey Gowdy I think ‘There are aliens among us, and they have been elected to Congress.’
Which really explains a lot, if you think about it.
Seriously, people who indulge in eccentricities of dress or grooming are afflicted with a serious case of Second-Hander Disease (thank you, Ayn Rand). Their whole existence depends far too much on what other people think of them, and have not enough comfort with their own selves. Whenever I see somebody with tattoos or piercings or strange hair colors not found in nature, my brain supplies a chyron that shouts ‘Look at me! Look At Me! LOOK AT ME! I’m a somebody, not a nobody! LOOK AT ME!’. I avoid such people as if they were toxic waste dumps, which psychologically they are.

I’m not sure that Trey Gowdy fits the “hey look at me” characterization ascribed to him. Congressman Gowdy has announced his retirement from Congress earlier this year, essentially sick of politics and gamesmanship.
Gowdy is quoted as having said… “There is a time to come and a time to go. This is the right time, for me, to leave politics and return to the justice system. Whatever skills I may have are better utilized in a courtroom than in Congress, and I enjoy our justice system more than our political system.”
He has a background as a Federal prosecutor and hails from a very conservative, likely very safe, seat in upstate SC. I’d ascribe his hair stylings as more likely to arise from cheap, bad barbering than a desire to call attention to himself. Having once lived in upstate SC, a good barber isn’t high on most serious men’s list of priorities there.

And yet one would think that there would be a good barber or two in D.C. I know that there’s a House barbershop, and they can’t all be bad.

What if I have tattoos I never let anyone see?

I’d say you were unclear on the concept, but that’s just me.
