I don't know whether to take pride or offense at the description of "Hair Balls", the editor in the second piece:
(Hair Balls must interject here: If Shields is trying to be the candidate of clear-eyed sobriety, he would do well to change his campaign picture. When we see pictures of pudgy, middle-aged, ruddy-faced guys holding tubas, huge steins of foam-topped bock and pilsner come forth to us unbidden.)
