Why is this under the "Odd News" section? In the U.S., people shave their heads all the time in support of loves ones who are battling cancer. Rather than an "oddity", he did a wonderful thing to bring publicity to the child's plight with cancer, and to raise money for his family to pay for his treatment. I was never a fan of Bush, but I admire him for this.
Maybe he secretly went for Umrah.. ;)
