Thanks to reader Dave H. for this one. Matt Tiabbi is a columnist at Rolling Stone. He is best known for his coverage of the 2004 US presidential election, and for his former editorial positions at newspapers the eXile, the New York Press, and the Beast. You may have seen Taibbi on Real Time with Bill Maher. Most recently, Tiabbi has attracted attention for his criticism of Goldman Sachs, whom he accuses of helping engineer "every major market manipulation since the Great Depression."
Accusing Goldman Sachs of such things is one way of getting attention. Another is denying that your hair is falling out and trying to hide it in the most ridiculous ways possible:
Matt: you are a good looking guy without hair. So let what little you have go.
