Goodhair vs Gooderhair?
It could happen...

As the Republican governor with famously spiffy locks seeks re-election, the head of a Houston hair products company that Perry recently touted says he might be running for governor — as a Democrat.

Farouk Shami, 66 , founder and board chairman of Farouk Systems Inc., hosted Perry at his company's headquarters in July for a news conference announcing the company's decision to move manufacturing facilities from South Korea and China to Texas, bringing 1,200 jobs to Houston. Perry called Shami, who was born in what was then Palestine, someone "who pretty much embodies the American dream."

Now, Shami, who has never run for office, is pondering a run to replace Perry, though their philosophies sound similar. Shami says he wants to bring jobs to Texas and avoid raising taxes. He said Perry "is a wonderful person" but lacks business experience.

"I have the capability to run the state as a business," said Shami, whose shampoos, hair dryers and flat irons are sold around the world under the BioSilk and CHI brands. "People are tired of politicians."

I think one more clown and we have a gen-you-wine circus.

1. Godderhair gave Kinky 24K last run in 2006
Shami donated more than $24,000 to Friedman's independent campaign for governor in 2006, when Friedman referred to Shami as his Palestinian barber. Now, Shami said Friedman doesn't seem serious.


That right there tells me he's not up to the job of making a "sound" financial decision.

2. I disagree
as it may be a sign of principles over profit to donate to Perry's opponent.
