Facial Hair and American Presidents

We unfortunately do not currently have a President who has embraced the wonders of facial hair and I doubt President Bush will be participating in No Shave November. While this may be a very real tragedy, we can find solace in the fact that previous Presidents have had the courage to sport the hairy face. Here's a little website that discusses this in frightening depth.

Especially this being election month, I think politicians should think about using No Shave November as part of their platforms. In fact, I think if there were a Presidential candidate in the 2008 election who decided to either sport facial hair or at least participate in No Shave November, I think he would have a good shot at winning. (Of course, this is assuming that the Presidential candidate is a male). If a female candidate were to participate in No Shave November during the campaign, I would totally vote for her.
