Cosmetology v. Commercial Airline Pilot: Which takes more hours?
November 15, 2011 by
Is your dream job to become a cosmetologist? Or a commercial pilot? Would it surprise you to hear it takes more hours to get your license to style hair than it does to get a license to fly a commercial airplane? That’s right–even if you just want to braid hair, not using a single chemical, […]
Have we been too hard on Mike Winder?
November 14, 2011 by
Perhaps we have been too hard on Mayor Winder: [blackbirdpie url=”http://twitter.com/#!/ethanmillard/status/135438011881111552″] Yes, the Salt Lake County Mayor race is a tough race, but it’s not impossible. In fact, but for a scandal, the Mayor’s office would probably still be Republican (instead of just held by a DINO). But wait…isn’t that the point?

Big Hair’s arguments against allowing hair braiding is like a house of cards, and Big Hair knows it. That’s why they hide behind arguments about “consumer protection.” Hogwash. It’s hard to feel any kind of sympathy for Big Hair. Two weeks ago, I posted “Big Hair Strikes Back,” reporting that the Big Hair lobby had […]
