The Democratic National Convention is only days away, and everyone is getting themselves beautiful for the event, including the homeless in Denver.

There are an estimated 4,000 homeless people in the DNC host city and instead of attempting to find real solutions, it’s much easier to do a makeover. That is, hide them from view, pretend they don’t exist, and fix em up so they don’t look so unsightly.

They arranged for free movie passes and bingo games to get them off the street, as well as temporary housing and free tickets to the zoo and Museum of Nature and Science…According to Rick Sallinger of the CBS TV station, Denver Human Services has been handing out coupons for free homeless haircuts.

But what happens when the media eye shifts away from Denver and the balloons have been deflated?
