From our You Can’t Make This Stuff Up desk:

In a speech on Friday about the beneficial results of the Obama administration’s Recovery Act, vice president Joe Biden had this to say (via Politics Daily):

“It means a lot more lunch breaks at the local diner . . . and a lot more trips to the barbershop, to the movies, to the department store . . . “

On NPR’s All Things Considered, Biden was even more hair-raising:

“It’s real simple,” Biden says. “The measurement is: Is it feeling better? Am I more confident? Can I go, instead of getting my hair cut every seven weeks, can I go back to getting it done once a month or once every three weeks?”

This, of course, from a guy whose head sports more plugs than the average Good Morning America show.

But far be it from us to split hairs about it.
